Verse 1:
BB          F#F#              E MajorE
 You learn a couple things when you get to my age
   BB            F#F#              E MajorE
Like friends don't lie and it all tastes the same in the dark
     BB             F#F#             E MajorE
When your vinyl and your coffee collection is a sign of the times
        BB        F#F#      E MajorE
You're getting spirituality enlightened at 29

Chorus:
    BB     F#F#    E MajorE
So just give yourself a try
     BB    F#F#    E MajorE
Won't you give yourself a try?
     BB    F#F#    E MajorE
Won't you give yourself a try?
     BB F#F# E MajorE
Won't you gi-i-ve?


Verse 2:
BB        F#F#          E MajorE
 I found a grey hair in one of my Zoots
   BB           F#F#          E MajorE
Like context in a modern debate I just took it out
  BB         F#F#             E MajorE
The only apparatus required for happiness is your pain and fucking going outside
      BB     F#F#          E MajorE
And getting STD's at 27 really isn't the vibe
BB         F#F#     E MajorE
 Jane took her own life at 16,
     BB        F#F#          E MajorE
She was a kid who had the box tattooed on her arm
  BB   F#F#    E MajorE
And I was 25 and afraid to go outside
  BB      F#F#       E MajorE
A augmentedA millenial that baby-boomers like

Chorus:
     BB     F#F#    E MajorE
Won't you give yourself a try?
     BB     F#F#    E MajorE
Won't you give yourself a try?
     BB     F#F#    E MajorE
Won't you give yourself a try?
     BB F#F# E MajorE
Won't you gi-i-ive?

Bridge:
BB           F#F#          E MajorE
 'And what would you say to your younger self?'
     BB           F#F#            E MajorE
Growing a beard's quite hard and whiskey never starts to taste nice
      BB               F#F#                 E MajorE
And you'll make a lot of money, and it's funny 'cause you'll move somewhere sunny and get addicted to drugs
       BB            F#F#          E MajorE
And spend obscene amounts on fucking seeds and beans online

Chorus:
     BB     F#F#    E MajorE
Won't you give yourself a try?
     BB     F#F#    E MajorE
Won't you give yourself a try?
     BB     F#F#    E MajorE
Won't you give yourself a try?
     BB F#F# E MajorE
Won't you gi-i-ive?
