   C                       F  
I saw her today at the reception

A glass of wine in her hand  
   C                               F  
I knew she was gonna meet her connection  
        C                       F  
At her feet was her foot-loose man  

        C                         F  
And you can always get what you want

We went down to demonstration to get out fair share of abuse  
       C                           F  
Singing we gonna vent our frustration  
       C                             F  
If we don we blow a fifty amp fuse

So, I went to the Chelsea Drugstore to get your prescription filled  
         C                                F  
I was standing in line with my friend, Mr Jimmy

And man did he look pretty ill  
     C                           F  
We decide that we would have a soda  
C                              F  
My favority flavor was cherry red  
        C                          F  
I sing this song to my friend Mr Jimmy  
        C                                F  
And he said one word to me and that was dead  

         C                          F  
And you can always get what  you want 
 
  

   C                      F  
I saw her today at the reception  
C                       F  
In her glass a bleeding man  
           C                           F  
She was practised at the art of deception  
    C                               F  
I could tell by her blood-stained hands
