I saw her today at a reception,  A glass of wine in her hand

I knew she would meet her connection, At her feet was her footloose man

                 C                                                  F

No, you can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

And if you try sometime, you might find

                                    C           F                                  C   F

You get what you need  ahhhhhhah yeah

And 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 50-amp fuse"... 

Sing it to me now...

Chorus

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

Chorus

Bridge:       D/A | Em/B |  F/C | Dsus    |  G

Chorus (instrumental, just sing, ‘you get what you need’ at the end)

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

Chorus, oh’s at the end. 

Repeat Chorus with ohs, 

Then just C&F oh’s.
