[Verse 1]
            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          Am7
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
