        I saw her today at the reception
        A glass of wine in her hand
        I knew she was gonna meet her connection
        At her feet was her footloose man

                                C                                          Fmaj7
                         You can't always get what you want
                         You can't always get what you want
                         You can't always get what you want
                                          D
                         But if you try sometimes
                                         F                                                C             Fmaj7
                         Well you might find - you get what you need, ah yeah
                                                                                                                     C Fmaj7

        Well, I went down to the demonstration
        To get my fair share of abuse
        Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
        If we don't, we're gonna blow a fifty-amp fuse" (sing it to me)

                         You can't always get what you want
                         You can't always get what you want
                         You can't always get what you want
                         But if you try sometimes
                         Well you just might find - you get what you need, ah baby, yeah

        I went down to the Chelsea Drugstore
        To get your prescription filled
        I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
        And man, did he look pretty ill

        We decided that we would have a soda
        My favorite flavor - cherry red
        I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy... yeah
        And he said one word to me and that was "dead", (I sang it to him)

                         You can't always get what you want
                         You can't always get what you want
                         You can't always get what you want
                         But if you try sometimes, you just might find
                         ...you get what you need, oh yeah, woo!
                                              *Interlude*   Dm  Em  F  D  G
                                                                       C Fmaj7 (x3)  D F

                         You get what you need, yeah, oh baby, ah yeah

        I saw her today at the reception
        In her glass was a bleeding man
        She was practiced at the art of deception
        Well, I could tell by her blood-stained hands

                         You can't always get what you want
                         You can't always get what you want
                         You can't always get what you want
                         But if you try sometime, you just might find
                         You just might find - you get what you need, oh yeah

                         Ah, you can't always get what you want
                         You can't always get what you want
                         You cant always get what you want
                         Mm, but if you try sometimes, you just might find
                         You just might find - you get what you need...
                                                                                                        (jam & fade)
