A fantastic song yet rather simple to play. The song consists of three repetitive chords
and a catchy guitar riff. If you have a hard time playing only barre chords you can transopse it (+2)
and put a capo on the 2nd fret. This is a simple rendering after a few listens to the song, so don't
expect it to be 100% accurate.
Please comment if there are any concerns.

[Verse 1]
B F# E
You learn a couple things when you get to my age
B F# E
Like friends don't lie and it all tastes the same in the dark
B F# E
When your vinyl and your coffee collection is a sign of the times
B F# E
You're getting spirituality enlightened at 29
[Chorus]
B F# E
So just give yourself a try
B F# E
Won't you give yourself a try?
B F# E
Won't you give yourself a try?
B F# E
Won't you gi-i-ve?
[Verse 2]
B F# E
I found a grey hair in one of my Zoots
B F# E
Like context in a modern debate I just took it out
B F# E
The only apparatus required for happiness is your pain and fucking going outside
B F# E
And getting STD's at 27 really isn't the vibe
B F# E
Jane took her own life at 16,
B F# E
She was a kid who had the box tattooed on her arm
B F# E
And I was 25 and afraid to go outside
B F# E
A millenial that baby-boomers like
[Chorus]
B F# E
Won't you give yourself a try?
B F# E
Won't you give yourself a try?
B F# E
Won't you give yourself a try?
B F# E
Won't you gi-i-ive?
[Bridge]
B F# E
'And what would you say to your younger self?'
B F# E
Growing a beard's quite hard and whiskey never starts to taste nice
B F# E
And you'll make a lot of money, and it's funny 'cause you'll move somewhere sunny and get addicted to drugs
B F# E
And spend obscene amounts on fucking seeds and beans online
[Chorus]
B F# E
Won't you give yourself a try?
B F# E
Won't you give yourself a try?
B F# E
Won't you give yourself a try?
B F# E
Won't you gi-i-ive?
