[Verse 1]
            B                      D#m      E
You learn a couple things when you get to my age

      B                           D#m                    E
Like friends don't lie and it all tastes the same in the dark

          B                       D#m                       E
When your vinyl and your coffee collection is a sign of the times

               B               D#m         E
You're getting spirituality enlightened at 29
[Chorus]
        B         D#m    E
So just give yourself a try

          B       D#m     E
Won't you give yourself a try?

          B        D#m    E
Won't you give yourself a try?

          G#m      F#   E
Won't you give?
[Verse 2]
   B            D#m              E
I found a grey hair in one of my Zoots

      B                    D#m                 E
Like context in a modern debate I just took it out

    B                 D#m                         E
The only apparatus required for happiness is your pain and fucking going outside

            B         D#m                E
And getting STD's at 27 really isn't the vibe

 B                D#m     E
Jane took her own life at 16,

          B               D#m                  E
She was a kid who had the box tattooed on her arm

    B      D#m      E
And I was 25 and afraid to go outside

  B              D#m          E
A millenial that baby-boomers like
[Chorus]
        B         D#m    E
So just give yourself a try

          B       D#m     E
Won't you give yourself a try?

          B        D#m    E
Won't you give yourself a try?

          G#m      F#    E
Won't you give?
[Interlude] B D#m E B D#m E [Bridge]
     B                                   E
'And what would you say to your younger self?'

           B
Growing a beard's quite hard

                                   E
And whiskey never starts to taste nice

          B                               
And you'll make a lot of money, and it's funny

                                                        E
'Cause you'll move somewhere sunny and get addicted to drugs

           B                                           E
And spend obscene amounts on fucking seeds and beans online
[Chorus]
        B         D#m    E
So just give yourself a try

          B       D#m     E
Won't you give yourself a try?

          B        D#m    E
Won't you give yourself a try?

          G#m      F#     E
Won't you give?
[Outro] B D#m E B D#m E
