    Verse 1
    When paradise 
    is 
    no 
    longer 
    fit 
    for you 
    to live 
    in 

    And your 
    adolescent 

    dream
    s are 
    gone 

    Through 
    the days 
    you feel 
    a little 
    used 
    up 

    And 
    you 
    don't 
    know 
    where 
    your 

    energy's gone 
    wrong 

    It's 
    just 
    your 
    soul 
    feelin' 

    a little 
    downhearted 

    Sometimes 
    life 
    is too 
    ridicu
    lous 
    to live 

    You 
    count 
    your 
    friends 
    all 
    on 
    one 
    finger 

    I know 
    it sounds 
    crazy 
    just 
    the 

    way 
    that 
    we 
    live 

    Verse 2
    Between 
    laugh 
    and 
    a tear 

    Smile 
    in the 
    mirror 
    as 
    you 
    walk 
    by 

    Between 
    laugh 
    and 
    a tear 

    And that's 
    as 
    good 
    as it can 
    get 
    for us 

    And 
    there 
    ain't 
    no 
    reason 
    to 
    stop 
    try
    in' 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    When 
    this 
    cardboard 
    town 

    can 
    no 
    longer 
    amuse 
    you 

    You 
    see 
    through 
    everything 
    and 

    nothin' 
    seem
    s worthwhile 

    And 
    hy
    pocrite 
    used 
    to be 

    such a 
    big 
    word 
    to 
    you 

    And 
    it don't 
    seem 
    to mean 

    anything 
    to 
    you 
    now 

    Just 
    try 
    to live 
    each 
    and every 

    precious 
    moment 

    Don't be dis
    couraged 
    by 

    the future 
    for
    get the 
    past 

    That's 
    old 
    advise 
    but 
    it'll 
    be 
    good 
    to you 

    know 
    there's 
    a balance 
    see 

    it when 
    I swing 
    past 

    Verse 4
    Between 
    laugh 
    and 
    a tear 

    Smile 
    in the mirror 
    as 
    you 
    walk 
    by 

    Between 
    laugh 
    and 
    a tear 

    And 
    that's 
    as 
    good 
    as it can 
    get 
    for us 

    And 
    there 
    ain't 
    no 
    reason 
    to 
    stop 
    tryin' 

    Interlude 2

    as 
    you 
    walk 
    by 

    Between 
    laugh 
    and 
    a tear 

    And that's 
    as 
    good as 
    it can 
    get 
    for 
    us 

    And 
    there

    no 
    reason

    can no 
    longer 
    amuse 
    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.
