Am

Verse 1
Em
I listened to a lecture
of nonsense until dawn
Bm
By a plagiary poet with
dark glasses on
Am
He said, "How did you ever
dream up that song
Bm
B
The one where the baby dies?"
Em
Verse 2
I said, "I'll tell you the secret,
which one's your good ear?
Bm
Yeah, people are made up of water and fear
Am
If there weren't women present
we wouldn't be here
Asus4
Bm
So let's make like
B
Em
we're friends"
Verse 3
Em
And the pot turned to powder
and soured the mood
Bm
And the people I'd come with
were gone from the room
Am
So I asked like a child,
"May I be excused?"
Bm
B
And disobeyed them all
Em
Verse 4
Into that late-night latrine, latrine,
rain soaking through my shoes
Bm
I tried walking backwards
to get less confused
Am
Working off the theory I could never prove
Bm
B
Em
That it was life itself to blame
Verse 5
Am
Em
And time ruined the world
Am
Em
Like a failed revolution
Am
Em
A tumor we could not remove
C
An old friend, a constant,
Bm
Em
the blues

Verse 6
Em
Now my days are distractions,
sit wringing my hands
Solitaire, crosswords and films on demand
B
Am
When you turn from a cartoon
C
back into a man
Bm
B
Em
You start to smell that human smell
Verse 7
Em
So I sleep with the fan on
Bm
B
Em
to drown out the street
Bm
And the noise rising up from
D
Bm
the bar underneath
Em
Bm
Am
But for that inconvenience
all my drinks are free
D
Bm
B
Em
So I guess it's just as well
Verse 8
Em
Why do I envy the ending
right from the start
Bm
Just get it together to take it apart
Am
Watching the horse as it
follows the cart
Bm
Em
B
Em
I sweep up my broken spell
Verse 9
Am

And I felt something changing the world
Am

Like a new constitution

A thief I would have to pursue

At all times, at all costs, the truth

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.”
