You Can't Always Get What You Want

[Verse]

G Gadd9 G C

I saw her today at the reception,

G Gadd9 G C

a glass of wine in her hand

G Gadd9 G C

I knew she was gonna meet her connection,

G Gadd9 G C

at her feet was a footloose man

[Chorus]

G Gadd9 G C

You can't always get what you want

G Gadd9 G C

You can't always get what you want

G Gadd9 G C

You can't always get what you want

A C G

but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need

[Instrumental]

[Verse]

G Gadd9 G C

I went down to the demonstration,

G Gadd9 G C

to get my fair share of abuse

G Gadd9 G C

Singing, "we're gonna vent our frustration,

G Gadd9 G C

if we don't we're gonna blow a 50 amp fuse"

[Chorus]

G Gadd9 G C

You can't always get what you want

G Gadd9 G C

You can't always get what you want

G Gadd9 G C

You can't always get what you want

A C G

but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need

[Instrumental]

[Verse]

G Gadd9 G C

I went down to the Chelsea Drug Store,

G Gadd9 G C

to get your prescription filled

G Gadd9 G C

I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy

G Gadd9 G C

and man did he look pretty ill

G Gadd9 G C

We decided we would have a soda,

G Gadd9 G C

my favorite flavour: cherry red

G Gadd9 G C

I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy,

G Gadd9 G C

and he said one word to me and that was "dead"

[Chorus]

G Gadd9 G C

You can't always get what you want

G Gadd9 G C

You can't always get what you want

G Gadd9 G C

You can't always get what you want

A C G

but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need

[Break]
