   A                      D
I saw her today at the reception
A                       D
A glass of wine in her hand
    A                             D
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
        A                       D
At her feet was her foot-loose man

Chorus:
         A                         D
And you can’t always get what you want
            A                         D
Honey, you can’t always get what you want
     A                        D
You can’t always get wat you want
             B
But if you try sometime, yeah,
     D                                A   D A D
You just might find you get what you need!

We went down to demonstration
to get out fair share of abuse
Singing, "We gonna vent our frustration"
If we don’t we’ll blow a fifty amp fuse
So, I went to the Chelsea Drugstore
to get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with my friend, Mr Jimmy
And man did he look pretty ill
We decide that we would have a soda
My favority flavor was cherry red
I sing this song to my friend Mr Jimmy
And he said one word to me and that was "dead"

Chorus

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass a blleding man
She was practised at the art of deception
I could tell by her blood-stained hands
