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
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 just might find you get what you need
G C G C
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
You can't always get what you want

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
A C G C G C
But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you just might find you get what you need.
G C
You can't always get what you want, no, no baby
G C
You can't always get what you want, I'm telling you now
G C
You can't always get what you want
A C G C G C
But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you just might find you get what you need.
