Lyrics

Do ing ev ’ry thing that I be lieve in,

go ing by the rules that I’ve been taught.

More un der (Eb)stand ing of what’s a round me

and pro tect ed from the walls of love.

All that you see (Eb)is me.

And all I (Ab)tru ly be lieve

that I was born to try,

I’ve learned to love,

be un der stand ing

and be lieve in life.

But you got ta make choi ces,

be wrong or right.

Some times you got ta sa cri fice the things you like.

But I was born to try.

No point in talk ing what should have been

and re gret ting the things that went on.

Life’s full of (Eb)mis takes, des nies and fates.

Re move the look at the big pic ture.

All that you see (Eb)is me.

And all I (Ab)tru ly be lieve

that I was born to try,

I’ve learned to love,

be un der stand ing

and be lieve in life.

But you got ta make choi ces,

be wrong or right.

Some times you got ta sa cri fice the things you like.

But I was born to try.

All that you see

is me.

And all I (Ab)tru ly be lieve

that I was born to try

I’ve learned to love,

be un der stand ing

and be lieve in life.

But you got ta make choi ces,

be wrong or right.

Some times you got ta sa cri fice the things you like.

But I was born

to try,

oh.

oh.

No mat ter (Eb)who,

hey,

but you got ta make choi ces,

be wrong or right.

Some times you got ta sa cri fice the things you (Eb)like,

but I was born to try.

About “Born To Try”

Can I sing "Born To Try" karaoke-style with the lyrics on screen?
Yes — Karaoke mode puts the lyrics of "Born To Try" on screen a line at a time and lights up each word in time, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word and the chord shown just above. The piano backing plays underneath in Ab, and you can transpose it to fit your voice.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "Born To Try" by Delta Goodrem in?
The backing track is in Ab at 66 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "Born To Try" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "Born To Try"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Born To Try", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Born To Try" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "Born To Try" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in Ab, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Born To Try" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
