[F#m] You are [D] never gonna [A] get everything [E] you want in this [F#m] world.
First things [D] first, get what you [A]
deserve.
It [F#m] began when I was 21 [A] years old, and [F#m] my mom and dad were begging me [A] to go.
So [F#m] I left a note and we went and hit [A] the road.
[F#m] Me and Chris and all the stuff [A] I owned.
[Bm] I went out [A] to find my soul [D] and left the only comfort that [A] I know.
[Bm] It wasn't about [B] a girl or [D] leaving California bleeding.
[F#m] It was all about me choosing [A] where to go.
And I [F#] sang, you are [A] never gonna get everything you want in this [F#] world.
First things [D] first, get what you [A]
deserve.
[F#] You are [A] never gonna get everything you want in this [F#m] world.
First things [D] first, get what you deserve.
[F#] For many years I felt like everything [A] was new.
[F#] Long before [A] the troubles of my youth.
[F#] There were days and [D] nights I couldn't [A] see the end.
[F#] And I swear the [D] music was my [A] only friend.
[Bm] You learn a lot about [D] forgiveness when you choose to let down all [A] your pride.
I [Bm] don't want to be so [D] famous.
I just want to sing [A] until I die.
So [F#] sing it.
You are never gonna get everything you want in this [F#] world.
First things [D] first, get what [A] you deserve.
[F#]
You are never gonna [A] get everything you want in this [F#m] world.
First things [D] first, get what [A] you deserve.
[Bm]
When I wish upon a [D] star, baby now I got this far.
[A] [F#] [D] [A]
[F#] [D] [A]
[F#] [D] [A]
[F#] [D] [A]
[F#] Again when [D] I learn how to [A] face myself.
[F#] And I'm still [D] deciding if I'm something else.
[F#m] I'm a million different people all the time.
But there's only one of me to get [E] it right.
[F#m] [D] You wanna [A] get it right.
[F#m] Oh, I'm gonna get it right.
I'm gonna [A] get it right.
Oh, [F#] you [A] are never gonna get everything you want in this [F#] world.
First things [D] first, get what [A] you deserve.
[F#] You are [A] never gonna get everything you want in this [F#m] world.
First things [D] first, get what [A] you deserve.
You are never gonna [A] get everything you want in this world.
First things first, get what you deserve.
[F#] You are [D] never gonna [A] get everything you want in [F#] this world.
First things [D] first, get what [A] you deserve.
