Never Is Enough by Barenaked Ladies Never Is Enough 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. D/A Bm7?

And the last chord of the second part, again, not sure what it is.

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!
