    Verse 1
    Beautiful 
    despair 
    is 
    hearing 
    Dylan 

    When 
    you're drunk 
    at 
    3 a.m. 

    Knowing 
    that 
    the 
    chances 
    are 

    No matter 
    what 
    you'll 
    never 

    write 
    like 
    him 

    Verse 2
    Oh, 
    brother 

    Verse 3
    Beautiful 
    despair 
    is 
    why 
    you lean 

    Into 
    this 
    world 
    without 

    restraint 

    'Cause somewhere 
    out 
    before 
    you 

    Lies 
    the masterpiece 
    you'd 

    sell 
    your 
    soul 
    to 
    paint 

    Verse 4
    Oh, 
    brother 

    What 
    do 
    we laugh 
    or 
    cry 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 5

    Beautiful 
    despair 

    Beautiful 
    despair 

    Verse 6

    Beautiful 
    despair 
    is 
    slouching 
    forward 

    Toward 
    a past 
    you 
    might 
    regret 

    All 
    to suck 
    the marrow 
    out 

    Of 
    every 
    magic 
    moment 

    that 
    you 
    get 

    Verse 7
    Beautiful 
    despair 
    is 
    playing 
    safe 

    When 
    you 
    were 
    once 
    a 
    rebel 
    child 

    Knowing 
    that 
    tomorrow 
    comes 

    And 
    all 
    you've 
    done 
    is 
    last 

    another 
    mile 

    Verse 8

    Oh, 
    brother 

    Oh, 
    dear 
    brother 

    Oh, 
    my 
    brother 

    What 
    shall 
    we 
    drink 
    or 
    dry?

    • 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.”
