Tom: Em
Em
If you're searching out for something - Don't try so hard
Am7
If you're feeling kinda nothing - Don't try so hard
D D7
When your problems seem like mountains
D D7
You feel the need to find some answers
Am7 Em D Em
You can leave them for another day - Don't try so hard
[Verse 2]
Em
But if you fall and take a tumble - It won't be far
Am7
If you fail you mustn't grumble - Thank your lucky stars
D D7
Just savour every mouthful
D D7
And treasure every moment
Am7
When the storms are raging round you
Em
Stay right where you are
[Chorus]
D Am7
Oh, Don't try so hard
Bm Am7
Oooh don't take it all to heart
Em Em/D# Em/D Em/C# C Em/B
It's only fools they make these rules - Don't try so hard
[Verse 3]
Em
One day you'll be a sergeant major Oh you'll be so proud
Am7
Screaming out your bloody orders Hey but not too loud
D D7
Polish all your shiny buttons
D D7
Dressed as lamb instead of mutton
Am7
But you never had to try
Em D Em D
To stand out from the crowd
[Bridge]
E D
Oh what a beautiful world
A E F#m E
Is this the life for me
D A
Oh what a beautiful world
Am7 Em Bm Cm
It's the simple life for me
[Solo]
| Em | Em | Am | Am | D | D | Am | Em |
[Chorus]
D D7
Oh don't try so hard
Bm Am7
Oh don't take it all to heart
Em Em/D# Em/D Em/C#
It's only fools - they make these rules
C
Don't try so hard
Am7
Don't try so hard
Em
Don't try so hard
