I've had back pain for most
Verse 1

of my life
F#m
E

And the most I ever did was
Gm

see the doc
D
Em
Fdim

And the doc told me that my
D

back was alright
F#m
E

He had initials in his shirt,
Gm

he had a nice expensive watch
D
Em

I thought he knew what he was doing or
Fdim
F#m

at least what was right
Abdim

He made me fill a piece of paper out
Gm

with different questions all about
D

My health,
Fdim
D

wellbeing and the state of my life
G

I'll told the truth,
D
A

I'm only lying to myself if I should lie
D
Em
Fdim

So, I answered everything and did my best
D
G

to keep it real in between the lines
D
Em

I gave it back to him,
Fdim
D
G

he took his time and read the paper over once or twice
D
Em
Fdim

He looked at me as if to say, "I
F#m

need to tell you something"
G
Gm

"And don't prepare for me

to tell you something nice"
D
Em

He wanted to know just how
Fm
F#m

much I tend to drink and smoke
G
F#m

I told him how it was and then he
F#
Bm

gave me this ad vice

He said, "Ease up on stress,
G

you don't help yourself much"
E

"It's too intense for you to take,
Gdim
Gm

you'll only tense up"
D

"And you see you have these issues
A

and you struggle to relax"

"So you come see me the doctor
Bbdim
F#

to get something for your back"
Bm
A

"But this piece of paper tells me that there's
G

more that you should address"

"I see some anger in you,
Bm

plus addiction, plus the rest"
A
G

"I feel like we should speak about this

'fore it comes first"

"And I know a lot of people who can help,

for what it's worth"
D
Em

I said, "I don't know if you don't understand,
Fdim
D

man, my back just fucking hurts"
F#m
E

Do I need physiotherapy? Or
Gm

is it something worse?
D
C

He paused and then he asked me what
Fdim

I thought we should do
D
G
D

I said, "If I knew that, I wouldn't be here,
F#
Bm

man, I'm asking you"
A

He handed me to someone who
G

gave me a blood test
C
G

Who handed me to someone else who took my payment
G

and took all of my fucking patience

I should add at this point the doctor had

already left

And I resented that man,
A
G

I never went back to him again
D

But you know,
C
Fdim
F#m

in a weird way, I feel like maybe he was right
G

I may be using my back pain
E

to distract from the pain of life
A
F#

Feel it all externally when really

it's just inside
Bm
A

Pro crastinating, confrontation,
G

every single time
D

So thank you Mr. Doctor

Man, I'm now being sincere

I guess I just didn't wanna hear what I didn't wanna
D
Em
Fm

hear, okay
Outro 1
D
E

Edim
Gm

  • 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.
