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, hey

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 got what you wanted that way, did you, baby?

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
You never get what you want, do you, baby?


Everything's always such a mystery
Including your sad little history
Do you still think someone should take responsibility and pay?
Ever since I've known you you've walked that walk
You've broken all the records now you've broken all the clocks, all the clocks
And everytime it breaks my heart to hear you talking this way, this way

You never get what you want
You never get what you want
And I don't think it's my fault
You never get what you want
Do you, baby, baby, baby, baby

     Am               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
Oh, they're killing us, baby, we gotta walk away, walk away, walk a -


Em  G   D  (4x)


Em        G            D
You never get what you want

Em               G            D
You never, never get what you want

           Em         G                  D
Spend your whole time thinking about why I'm so deranged, well, honey,

Em            G           D
Why don't you think about that for a change?

Em        G            D
You never get what you want

Em        G            D
You never get what you want

         Em         G               D
Not 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
And I don't think it's my fault

Em        G            D
You never get what you want

        Em               Em
Do you, baby?    Do you, baby?

        Em               Em
Do you, baby?    Do you, baby?
