C                            F  
If it ain't broke, don't fix it, if it's mixed, don't try to mix it 
C                          D               G  
Think before you speak and look before you leap 
                  C                                    F 
And if it's wound up don't try to wind it, if it's not lost don't try to find it 
   C                       G           C  
It always helps to make it easy on yourself 
 

        F                           C 
Make it easy on yourself and do the best that you can do 
D                               G  
Stay away from folks who try to make it hard on you 
                  C                                    F 
And if it's wound up don't try to wind it, If it's not lost don't try to find it 
     C                     G           C 
It always helps to make it easy on yourself  
 
 
If it ain't true, don't tell it, if it's sold don't try to sell it 
Search and you will find, keep an open mind 
And if its short don't make it long, if it's right don't make it wrong 
It always helps to make it easy on yourself 
 
Chorus
