Verse 1:
E minorEm        G+G        D MajorD
 You first found me in my holding pen,
E minorEm         G+G          D MajorD
 stopped to take a look and stuck your finger in,
C majorC            G+G          D MajorD     C majorC
 I bit one off and you came back again and again.
E minorEm       G+G       D MajorD
 Then the nice people let me out one day
E minorEm            G+G    D MajorD
 and you told me how to act and what to say,
C majorC              G+G        D MajorD    C majorC
 but you never get what you wanted that way.

Chorus:
E minorEm     G+G      D MajorD
 You never get what you want,
E minorEm     G+G      D MajorD
 you never get what you want
E minorEm      G+G       D MajorD
 and I don't think it's my fault;
E minorEm     G+G      D MajorD      (C majorC) E minorEm      E minorEm
 you never get what you want, do you baby?

Verse 2:
E minorEm       G+G       D MajorD
 Everything's always such a mystery,
E minorEm        G+G     D MajorD
 including your sad little history.
       C majorC                 G+G     D MajorD    C majorC
Do you still think someone should take responsibility and pay?
E minorEm        G+G        D MajorD
 Ever since I've know you you've walked that walk,
    E minorEm           G+G         D MajorD
you've broken all the records, now you've broken all the clocks.
  C majorC                G+G          D MajorD     C majorC
And everytime it breaks my heart to  hear you talk this way, this way.

Chorus:
E minorEm     G+G      D MajorD
 You never get what you want,
E minorEm     G+G      D MajorD
 you never get what you want
E minorEm      G+G       D MajorD
 and I don't think it's my fault;
E minorEm     G+G      D MajorD      E minorEm      E minorEm
 you never get what you want, do you baby?

Bridge:
   C majorC           E minorEm
Everybody's been sad, everybody's been tragic,
   D MajorD            C majorC
whole lot of hard times, whole little bit of magic.
   A minorAm               E minorEm
These bitter bitter fruits and these endless hallways
    D MajorD             C majorC        C majorC
they're killing us, baby, we gotta walk away, walk away.

Interlude:

| E minorEm  G+G  | D MajorD     | E minorEm  G+G  | D MajorD     |

Chorus:
E minorEm     G+G      D MajorD
 You never get what you want,
E minorEm     G+G      D MajorD
 you never get what you want.
        E minorEm     G+G         D MajorD
You spend your whole time thinkin 'bout why I'm so deranged
       E minorEm       G+G      D MajorD
Well, honey,  why don't you think about that for a change?

End-Chorus:
E minorEm     G+G      D MajorD
 You never get what you want,
E minorEm     G+G      D MajorD
 you never get what you want.
   E minorEm     G+G       D MajorD
Your whole damn life you never get what you want.
     E minorEm     G+G       D MajorD
Not your whole damn life you never get what you want.
E minorEm   G+G       D MajorD
I don't think it's my fault.
E minorEm     G+G      D MajorD
 You never get what you want,
    E minorEm
do you, baby?
