Never Is Enough, 09/07/99
S1: Really cool song. Some parts are wrong or missing, but you get the
idea., capo III
Riff 1
——
This is the opening riff.
Much of the verses are based on this, but simplified.
I have no idea what that second chord is in this one.

Verse 1
——-
The 2nd part of the verse is the same style, just different
chords. And the last chord of the second part, again, not sure what
it is.

What am I to wake up suddenly and then

Bm A E Em or E7 (play around)
If I work really hard
Bm A E E7
I could mow your backyard
D G/B A G Em A7
I could go to Europe, travel with my friends
D G/B A G Em A7
I could blow 1000 deutchmarks to get drunk in a pub with some
Austrailians
Bm A E E7 Bm A E E7
Buy a giant backpack Sew a flag on the back
Chorus
——
This is a cross between the Main Riff (Riff 1) and the verse
riff. Try it with both and see which fits better.
I think it works best with Riff 1, banged out a bit more.
Just play around till it sounds cool, it’s something like
what I’ve got here… 🙂
D/A Bm7? D G/B G
Think never is enough Yeah never is enough
G/F# Em A7
You never have to do that stuff
D/A Bm7? D G/B G
Think never is enough Yeah never is enough
G/F# Em A7
You never have to do that stuff
Riff 1
Do De Do… etc.
Verse 2
——-
This is a tad more beefed up than verse one.
In fact, ignore the verse 1 riff, just play Riff 1
It’s harder to sing over, but it’s what they’re playing here.
Riff 1
I’ve never had to spend a summer planting trees
Riff 1
I never worked my way through a forest inch by inch
doubled over on my hands and knees
Riff 1
I’ve never spent a single day in retail
Riff 1
Telling people what they want to hear
Telling people anything to make a sale
Bm A E E7
Eating in the food court
Bm A E E7
With the old and the bored
Chorus Again!
Bridge

G A7
The world’s your oyster shell
G A7
But what’s that funny smell
G A7
You eat that bivalve anyway
G A7
You’re sick with Salmonella

You get your PhD How Happy You Will Be
