[Chorus]
Bb             C                   F     Gm
You aint gone far enough to say, at least I tried
Bb                C                F                 Gm
You ain’t worked hard enough to say, Well I’ve done mine
Bb              C                F              Gm
 You ain’t run far enough to say, My legs have failed
Bb               C         F                  Gm
 You ain’t gone far enough, You ain’t worked hard enough
Bb              C                Dm
 You ain’t run far enough to say, It ain’t gonna get any better

[Bridge 2]

You picked a bad time, You picked a bad time to listen to me 
F                     Bb
You picked a bad time, You picked a bad time to listen to me Chorus
F                     Bb
You picked a bad time, You picked a bad time to listen to me 
F                     Bb
You picked a bad time, You picked a bad time to listen to me 

[Chorus]
Bb             C                   F     Gm
You aint gone far enough to say, at least I tried
Bb                C                F                 Gm
You ain’t worked hard enough to say, Well I’ve done mine
Bb              C                F              Gm
 You ain’t run far enough to say, My legs have failed
Bb               C         F                  Gm
 You ain’t gone far enough, You ain’t worked hard enough
