Chorus: G Cadd9 You can't always get what you want. (x3) A! C! But if you try sometimes, you might find G Cadd9 You get what you need. Ooh. G Cadd9 Yeah, ooh. Verse 2: G Cadd9 And I went down to the demonstration G Cadd9 To get my fair share of abuse G Cadd9 Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration, G Cadd9 If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse". (Sing it to me now.) [Chorus] Verse 3: G Cadd9 I went down to the Chelsea drugstore G Cadd9 To get your prescription filled. G Cadd9 I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy G Cadd9 And man, did he look pretty ill? Verse 4: G Cadd9 We decided that we would have a soda, G Cadd9 My favorite flavor, cherry red. G Cadd9 I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy, yeah, G Cadd9 And he said one word to me, and that was "dead". (I said to him,) Chorus: G Cadd9 You can't always get what you want. (x3) A!
