    Verse 1
    C

    Every morning,

    every morning I wake up discomposed
    G

    And I have to pull myself together
    D

    before I pull you into my arms
    C

    It's that moment of amnesia

    where I forget the man I'm trying to be
    G
    C

    that scared me most in
    G

    the night before
    D

    because it's a nightmare more constant than sometimes
    C

    that one time my arms will stretch out imperfectly

    and like man's reach exceeding
    G

    they'll grasp nothing but

    air it's these mornings
    D

    I think I can't be enough
    C
    G
    D

    to keep you here

    C

    After all, I'm a bag of tricks,

    an illusion played
    G

    so constantly it sticks,

    a little bit of showmanship
    D

    to convince us not to go looking
    C

    for the rabbit inside the hat,

    but the fact is it's there,
    G

    it's huddled behind my eyes,

    quivering nervous on my tongue,
    D

    it's afraid of everything

    and everyone
    C

    because he's never done

    anything like this before,

    the me in my dream does not so much
    G

    the man you know more like

    his idiot kid brother
    D

    who dresses up for Halloween each night

    and he doesn't know how to write
    C

    really he just knows show -and -tell

    he doesn't know how to fight
    G
    C
    B
    Bm

    really he just takes punches well
    C

    so each morning I wake up and

    stretch my amnesia
    Em

    hoping to forget the mounting evidence

    that I've made promises

    on bad credit,
    D

    overdrawn any account of my character,
    C

    that the hero I need you to see in me

    is equal parts impulse buys and make -believe,

    Em

    and there's no room in the budget
    D

    for either when the payment comes due.

    But however much I forget
    C

    that first moment,

    it's never complete.

    After all, a good liar needs
    Em

    a good memory.
    G
    D

    And as long as I'm wearing the threads,


    these patchwork sheets

    seem to cover me completely.
    C

    I've got strands of

    novels and bad TV,

    giving me parts to play in stage direction.
    Em

    So these mornings
    G

    I can make a promise
    D

    for every confession.

    A promise to be the mistake
    C

    you keep wanting to make.

    The chance you keep trying to take.

    I'm writing bedtime stories
    Em

    to keep me awake,

    so each morning I can rise.
    G
    D

    Still wearing the cape

    you made for me out of bed sheets.
    C

    Still willing to take more mountain roads

    than easy streets

    Still seeing in your eyes

    when you wake up and smile
    Em

    That you're willing to play along
    B
    G
    D

    So I'm still makeshift,

    I'm still guesswork
    C
    Em
    G

    But I'm still going strong
    D
    C

    Em

    G

    • 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.
