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

        E                         A
No, you can't always get what you want
    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
           F#                 A          
And if you try sometime, you might find
                 E           A   E   A
You get what you need  ahhhhhhah yeah

  E                    A
And I went down to the demonstration
  E                     A
To get my fair share of abuse
  E                   A
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
  E                    A
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"
Sing it to me now...

You can't always get what you want
    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
           F#                 A

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 said to him

    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
           F#                 A          
And if you try sometime, you might find
                 E           A   E   A
You get what you need  ahhhhhhah yeah
Oh yes! Woo!

You get what you need--yeah, oh baby!
Oh yeah!

 

 

Lead Break (you get what you need) ****

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

    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
