I saw her today at the reception, a glass of wine in her hand
G C G C
I knew she was gonna meet her connection, at her feet was a footloose man
G C
You can't always get what you want
G C
You can't always get what you want
G C
You can't always get what you want
A C G C G C
But if you try sometimes, well you might find you get what you need
G C G C
And I went down to the demonstration to get my fair share of abuse
G C G C
Singing we're gonna vent our frustration, if we don't, we're gonna blow a fifty amp fuse. Sing it to me
G C
You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want
G C
You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometimes, well you just might find you get what you need

I went down to the Chelsea drug store to get your prescription filled
G C G C
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy, and man did he look pretty ill
G C G C
We decided that we would have a soda, my favourite flavour, cherry red
G C G C
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy and he said one word to me and that was "dead". I said to him
G C

I saw her today at the reception, in her glass was a bleeding man
G C G C
She was practised at the art of deception, well, I could tell by her blood-stained hands. Sing it
G C
You can't always get what you want
G C
You can't always get what you want
G C
You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you just might find you get what you need.

You can't always get what you want, no, no baby

You can't always get what you want, I'm telling you now
G C

A C G C G C
But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you just might find you get what you need.
