Also guilty of letting me not forget
Em

(also guilty)

What type of harvest will September

bring? (beckoning)

Everyone to put him to that test

(Somebody please kill me)

I've got a sickness, it feels like love

It's not contagious, take off the gloves

Drop your defenses,

apply a coat of perfect

I'll form the sentences

you try to interpret

It'd all be so simple if I was

rich (But I'm not)

But I'm not so I compensate

with thought (I got a lot)

I got a lot of nothin' that you need

to know (Ay yo)

You would think he wasn't aware of the glow

(Where'd you go?)

Swimmin' in a bottle of imposters

Losin' my ground in the name of

takin' it farther

We can thumb wrestle or we can

make a daughter

I thought it was supposed to get

easier when you worked harder

Stole the city, I still feel helpless

Baited the hook and caught me

a shellfish (?selfish?)

I'm gonna gut it, clean it,

cook it, feed it to a she(?)

And see if I can get her to need me

Verse 4

[Chorus x2]

And now I'm standin' at the

bottom of the steps

Em

And if I tilt my head a little
Fm
Em

I can look up her dress

And I'm willin' to bet that

she'd move if she knew

So I'ma tap her on the shoulder,

I'ma give her a clue

[Slug] All it takes is a stroll down the street
Verse 5
Em

A

pro and he greets and he

sold the life to me

Showed you the meaning of the artery he

keeps on the end of his sleeve

As he pretends he can breathe

Lend me a piece of your superiority

I feel alone on this mission,

I'm wishin' there was more of me

A pair of me, apparently I'm a parasite

caught inside a paradox

A paradise, a parody,
Am
Em

the hair police have got what you need

For you to get over me and move

on with Godspeed

I'd let it all go and break eggs for a livin'

If I wasn't so conditioned

to just take what I'm given

Get it, got it, catch it, caught it, and lost it

Yet I can't stop it, it's

embedded in my optics

Plus the frustration is

a product of the gossip

If you can't walk away can you at least

change the topic?

Overextended the amount
Fm

of time allotted
Em

Broke the engine, I don't know,

cracked the block
Am

Now I'm standin' at this gravel
Em

roadside festival

And I ain't tryin' to move cause this
Verse 6

view is incredible
Em

[Chorus x2]

Standin' at the bottom of the steps

And if I tilt my head a little I can

look up her dress

And I'm willin' to bet that

she'd move if she knew

So I'ma tap her on the shoulder,

I'ma give her a clue
Verse 7
Em

[Slug] Fall in love

with all of she (Fall in

love with all of she)

Hasn't stopped callin'

me (Hasn't stopped callin' me)

Message in a bottle

(There's a message in a bottle)

And I stepped inside a pothole (I stepped

inside a pothole)

Somehow forgot my name

(Somehow forgot my name)

Blew out the flame (She blew

out the flame)

A means to an end (A means

to an end)

Can't even be friends,

it's a song about a friend

She's still in my dreams

(She steals all my dreams)

Angel spread your wings (Angel spread

your wings)

Tryin' to comprehend (I'm still

tryin' to comprehend)

Can't even be friends,

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
