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?
(
)You never(
) get what you (
)want
(
)You never (
)get what you (
)want
Em And I don't C think it's my D fault
(
)You never (
)get what you (
)want
Do you Em baby?
(
)Everything's (
)always such
(
)mystery
(
)Including your (
)sad little (
)history
Do you still C think someone should take responsi G bility and D pay . . .
(
)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
(
)way
(
)You never(
) get what you (
)want
(
)You never (
)get what you (
)want
Em And I don't C think it's my D fault
(
)You never (
)get what you (
)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 never never C get what you D want
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
(
)You never (
)get what you (
)want
(
)You never (
)get what you (
)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
(
)You never (
)get what you (

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