Baby boy you better sit down. Can't listen when the sun's out

Nothing ever good really is
G                      C

[Chorus] Downbeats
C              D
You ain't gone far enough to say

You ain't worked hard enough to say
G              Am
Well I've done mine
C             D
You ain't run far enough to say
G              Am
My legs have failed
C              D
You ain't gone far enough
G                Am
You ain't worked hard enough
C             D
You ain't run far enough to say
Em
It ain't gonna get any better
