You Never Get What You Want

Patty Griffin

Capo on the 2nd fret Intro: x4 VERSES: You first found me in my holding pen Stopped to take a look and stuck your finger in I bit one off and you came back again and again ... hey Then the nice people let me out one day And you told me how to act and what to say But you never get what you wanted that way, Did you baby? CHORUS: 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? VERSES Everything's always such a mystery Including your sad little history Do you still think someone should take responsibility and pay ... hey 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 talkin' this way, this way CHORUS 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 babe, babe, babe, babe BRIDGE Everybody's been sad, everybody's been tragic A lot of hard times, A little bit of magic These bitter bitter fruits and these endless hallways They're killing us baby, we gotta walk away, walk away, walk away, walk.... x4 You never get what you want You never never get what you want You spend your whole time thinkin' 'bout why I'm so deranged Well honey, why don't you think about that for a change You never get what you want You never get what you want Your whole damn life you never get what you want Not your whole damn life you never get what you want And I don't think it's my fault You never get what you want Do you baby? Do you baby? Do you baby? Do you baby? I think that's it. questions or comments, just drop me a line.
