Lyrics

You learn a cou ple (A)things when you get to my age,

like friends don’t lie and it all tastes the same in the dark.

When your vi nyl and your cof fee col lec tion is a sign of the times,

you’re get ting (A)spi ri tual ly en light ened at twen ty nine.

So, just give your self a try,

won’t you give your self a try?

Won’t you give your self a try?

Won’t you give?

I found a grey (A)hair in one of my suits,

like con text in a mod ern de bate, I just took it out.

The on ly ap pa ra tus re quired for hap pi ness is your pain and fuck ing go ing out side and get ting (A)S T Ds at twen ty (A)sev en real ly is n’t the vibe.

Jane her own life teen,

she was kid had

on arm.

And I was twen ty five and a fraid

a mil le ni al

Won’t you

your self a try,

won’t you give your self a try?

Won’t you give your self a try?

Won’t you give?

I found a grey (A)hair in one of my suits,

like con text in a mod ern de bate, I just took it out.

The on ly ap pa ra tus re quired for hap pi ness is your pain and fuck ing go ing out side and get ting (A)S T Ds at twen ty (A)sev en real ly is n’t the vibe.

About “Give Yourself A Try”

Can I sing "Give Yourself A Try" karaoke-style with the lyrics on screen?
Yes — Karaoke mode puts the lyrics of "Give Yourself A 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 B, and you can transpose it to fit your voice.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "Give Yourself A Try" by The 1975 in?
The backing track is in B at 90 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 "Give Yourself A 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 "Give Yourself A Try"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Give Yourself A Try", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Give Yourself A 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.

Yes — this is a free karaoke slide for "Give Yourself A Try" by The 1975. The lyrics appear on screen a line at a time and each word lights up exactly when it's sung, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word. A backing plays underneath so you can just sing.
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 "Give Yourself A Try" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in B, 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 "Give Yourself A 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.
