Verse
Dm Am
Flies are buzzing around my head
Em D
Vultures circling my bed
Dm Am Em D
Picking up every last crumb
Dm Am
The big fish eat the little ones
Em D
The big fish eat the little ones
Dm Am Em D
Not my problem give me some
Chorus
D (Am) Bm
You can try the best you can
D D
If you try the best you can
Dm C D
The best you can is not enough
Verse
This one's optimistic
This one went to market
This one just crawled out of the swamp
This one drops a payload
Fodder for the animals
Living on an animal farm
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
(x2)
I'd really like to help you man
I'd really like to help you
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is not enough
The best you can is not enough
The best you can is not enough
