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

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

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

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

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

Interlude:

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

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