  • Verse 1
    When 
    was 
    a boy, 

    dreamed 
    of 
    be
    ing 
    a better 
    man 

    I'd save 
    people 
    in 
    distress, 

    I'd 
    throw 
    outlaws 
    in 
    a concrete 
    can 

    I'd 
    be 
    flying 
    high, 
    just 
    fine 
    as wine, 

    but then 
    that 
    wine 
    turned 
    into 
    whis
    key 

    And now the 
    outlaw 
    in 
    the mirror 

    looks just 
    like 
    me 

    Verse 2
    And 
    don't 
    know 
    who's been 

    looking 
    over 
    my hide 

    But 
    they've done 
    a great 

    job 
    of keeping 
    me 
    alive 

    Lord 
    only 
    knows 
    how 
    hard 
    a job 
    that 
    is 

    But 
    there's 
    something 
    about 

    the 
    nighttime 
    life 

    I just can
    't 
    get enough, 

    and I 
    can't 
    get 
    it right 

    But 
    I'll 
    be 
    better 
    man 
    someday 

    Verse 3

    Well, 
    I tried 
    to 
    a pick 
    fruit 

    from 
    a forbid
    den 
    tree 

    But 
    ashed my 
    cigarette 

    into 
    a can 
    of gasoline 

    And 
    as 
    watched 
    it burn, 
    I had 
    an 
    epiphany 

    With
    in 
    the flames, 
    why 
    would 
    I change? 

    guess 
    I'll 
    just 
    be 
    me 

    Verse 4
    And 
    don't 
    know 
    who's been 

    looking 
    over 
    my hide 

    But 
    they've done 
    a great job 

    of keeping 
    me 
    alive 

    Lord 
    only 
    knows 
    how 
    hard 
    a job 
    that 
    is 

    But 
    there's 
    something 
    about 

    the 
    nighttime 
    life 

    I just can
    't get 
    enough, 

    and I 
    can't 
    get 
    it right 

    But I'll 
    be 
    better 
    man 
    someday 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 5
    If I could 
    send 
    me 
    a let
    ter 
    back 
    in time 

    I'd 
    address 
    it to 
    an eight- 
    year- old 
    boy 

    who looked 
    up to 
    the stars 
    at 
    night 

    Well, I'd say 
    chase 
    that 
    dream 
    and fol

    low 
    that 
    long 
    white 
    line 

    You were 
    born 
    to run, 
    it's 
    in 
    your blood, 

    think 
    that 
    you'll 
    be 
    fine 

    And 
    Verse 6
    don't 
    know who's 
    been 
    looking 

    over 
    my hide 

    But they've done 
    a great job 

    of keeping 
    me 
    alive 

    Lord 
    only 
    knows 
    how 
    hard 

    a job 
    that 
    is 

    But 
    there's 
    something 
    about 

    the 
    nighttime 
    life 

    I just can
    't 
    get 
    enough, 

    and hell, I'll 
    never 
    get 
    it right 

    But 
    I'll 
    be 
    a better 
    man 
    someday 

    Hope 
    I can 
    be 
    a better 
    man 
    someday 

    Hope 
    I'll 
    be 
    better 
    man 
    someday

    • 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.
