[Verse 1]
[D]I
try to get a head start [C]in life
[D]I worked so hard and I s[C]acrificed
[D]To get a good job [C]is so tough [D]now
And lately things [C]have been so rough
But [G]oh, [F#m]I've t[Em]ried[F#m][G]
And [A]oh, I found out my best
just ain't gonna [D]last[C]
[D]Now let me tell you something, [C]darling.
[D]You know, I work hard [C]just like a squirrel,
[D]
gathering its [C]food for [D]the winter.
[C]You know, I look back at
what I've [D]done,
an[C]d yet I find I've got nothing
but a handful [D]of splinters.
[C]And on top of that, darling,
[D]I'm not making it with you at all,
[C]not one day at [D]all.[C]
When [D]you think you've
done your very [C]best,
you [D]think it's time to stop and [C]rest,
there's [D]something always
going to remind you
[C]that you've just [D]be gun the test.
[C]But, oh, Lord,
[G]I've tried [F#m]so hard in lif[Em]e[F#m][G]
It seems [A]if my best
just ain't [D]good enough, [C]yeah[D][C][D]
I need you, darling,
[C]to [D]help me to stay on my way
[C]If [D]you refuse me this time baby,
[C]I'm surely going [D]down, oh down,
[C]down the [G]state.
[F#m]Oh my, my, my[Em].[F#m]
[G]And hey, Lord I promise you[A] this just
ain't good enough [D]here.[C]
[D]I said, I said, I said one t[C]hing.
Ain't [D]it hard to get [C]a good start?
[D]It's so hard to get a g[C]ood job
[D]Oh, my, my, my,[C] my best just ain't,
just ain't good enough
