Intro: (Em)(C)(D), (Em)(C)(D), (Em)(C)(D), (Em)(C)(D)

(Em)You first found (C)me in my (D)holding pen
(Em)Stopped to take a (C)look and stuck your (D)finger in
(C)I bit one off and you (G)came back again and (D)again . . . (C)hey
(Em)Then the nice (C)people let me (D)out one day
(Em)And you told me (C)how to act and (D)what to say
(C)But you never get what you (G)wanted that way (D)
Did you (C) baby?

(Em)You never(C) get what you (D)want
(Em)You never (C)get what you (D)want
(Em)And I don't (C)think it's my (D)fault
(Em)You never (C)get what you (D)want
Do you (Em)baby?

(Em)Everything's (C)always such A (D)mystery
(Em)Including your (C)sad little (D)history
Do you still (C)think someone should take responsi(G)bility and (D)pay . . .
(C)hey
(Em)Ever since I've (C)known you you've (D)walked that walk
(Em)You've broken all the records (C)now you've broken (D)all the clocks,
all
the clocks
And (C)everytime it breaks my heart to (G)hear you talkin' this (D)way, this
(C)way

(Em)You never(C) get what you (D)want
(Em)You never (C)get what you (D)want
(Em)And I don't (C)think it's my (D)fault
(Em)You never (C)get what you (D)want
Do you (Em)babe, babe, babe, baby

(Am)Everybody's been sad, every(Em)body's been tragic
Whole (D)lot of hard times, whole (C)little bit of magic
(Am)These bitter bitter fruits and these (Em)endless hallways
They're (D)killing us baby, we gotta (C)walk away, walk away, walk away,
walk....

(Em)You spend your whole time (C)think' 'bout why (D)I'm so deranged
Well honey, (Em)why don't you (C)think about (D)that for a change

(Em)You never (C)get what you (D)want
(Em)You never (C)get what you (D)want
Your (Em)whole damn (C)life you never (D)get what you want
Not your (Em)whole damn (C)life you never (D)get what you want
(Em)And I don't (C)think it's my (D)fault
(Em)You never (C)get what you (D)want

Do you (Em)baby?
Do you (Em)baby?
Do you (Em)baby?
