  • Verse 1

    When I 
    was just 
    a skinny 
    lad 

    on holi
    day by 
    the sea, 

    I met 
    a girl 
    in a Rancid 
    shirt, 

    and a tape 
    she gave 
    to me 

    With the Black 
    Flag First 
    Four Years 

    and the Minor 
    Threat 
    Discography, 

    And punk 
    rock 
    saved 
    my 
    life. 

    Going 
    down 
    the Red 
    Eye back 
    in 
    1998, 


    Hanging out 
    with Household 
    Names 

    and staying 
    out 
    too late, 

    This angry 
    adolescent 
    found 

    an out
    let for 
    his hate, 

    And punk 
    rock 
    saved 
    my 
    life. 

    The vision 
    wasn't 
    perfect 
    and we knew 
    it all 
    Verse 2
    along, 


    We dressed 
    like fucking 
    idiots 
    and got 

    our facts 
    all wrong. 

    But everyone 
    must 
    needs be an 
    extremist 

    when 
    they're young 
    – 

    Fucking 
    with 
    your parents 
    makes 
    you grow 
    up big 

    and strong. 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 3
    Folding 
    zines and record 
    sleeves 

    while sitting 
    round 
    at home, 

    Flicking 
    through 
    the catalogues 

    and 
    distros at 
    the shows, 

    Circle 
    pits 
    and sing- 
    a- longs, 

    come on 
    let's fuck
    ing 
    go, 

    And punk 
    rock 
    saved 
    my 
    life. 

    That little 
    dream 
    is 
    over, 
    it 
    Verse 4

    was never 
    going 
    to last. 

    Everybody's 
    moved 
    along 

    and 
    it's all 
    in the past, 

    But 
    when I 
    was just 
    16 I pinned 

    my col
    ours to 
    the mast. 

    And punk 
    rock's 
    in 
    the 

    ink that's 
    in my 
    skin, 

    The 
    atti
    tude 
    in 
    every 
    song I 
    sing, 


    And we didn't 
    change 
    the world, 

    we 
    did
    n't 
    win, 

    We 
    prob
    ably didn't 
    even 
    save 
    my life, 

    it's true 

    But 
    I bet 
    we had 
    a better 
    time 
    than you.

    • 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.
