Verse: [ C    | F   ]        (repeat Chords for song)

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man
       C                                F

C:   You can’t always get what you want (x3)
                     D                                              F

But if you try sometimes well you might find,

You get what you need


And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, were gonna vent our frustration
If we don’t were gonna blow a 50-amp fuse
[chorus]

I went down to the Chelsea Drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was dead, I said to him
[chorus]

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands
[chorus]
