    Verse 1
    Well, I guess 

    by 
    the 
    blood 
    stain 
    of 
    your 
    lips 

    And 
    the wander 
    of 
    your 
    fingertips 

    I should 
    prove 
    true 
    to 
    my 
    emptiness 

    And 
    stay 
    here 

    Verse 2
    Well, 
    I'm 
    just 
    a 
    kid 
    of 
    ill 
    repute 

    But the skin 
    I 
    wear 
    is 
    my 
    only 
    suit 

    And 
    you, 
    you're 
    just 
    a 
    substitute 

    For 
    the 
    one 
    that 
    I 
    hold 
    dear 

    Verse 3

    You 
    know, 
    you 
    could 
    be 
    anyone 

    God 
    forgive 
    my 
    tasteless 
    tongue 

    I never 
    should 
    have 
    been 
    set 
    free 

    Verse 4

    I claw 
    my 
    eye
    s, 
    I 
    skin 
    my 
    face 

    Beg 
    some
    how 
    to 
    be 
    replaced 

    That's 
    how 
    we 
    deal 
    with 
    boys 
    like 
    me 

    Verse 5

    Well, 
    I guess 
    for 
    this world 

    so 
    sick 
    with 
    loss 

    And 
    your 
    service 
    is 
    so 
    free 
    of 
    cost 

    I 
    should climb 
    down 

    off 
    my 
    rugged 
    cross 

    And 
    lay 
    with 
    you 

    Verse 6
    But you 
    know, 
    by 
    now 
    it's 
    half 
    past 
    late 

    And I 
    only 
    came 
    here 
    for 
    escape 

    You 
    you're 
    just 
    my 
    next 
    mistake 

    Like 
    me 
    to 
    you 

    Verse 7

    You 
    know, 
    you 
    could 
    be 
    anyone 

    God 
    forgive 
    your 
    unborn 
    son
    s 

    I hope 
    they 
    don't 
    end 
    up 
    like 
    me 

    Verse 8

    I drag 
    my 
    mind 
    through 

    streets 
    of 
    shame 

    Lay 
    myself 
    forgive 
    the 
    game 

    That's 
    how 
    we 
    deal 
    with 
    boys 
    like 
    me 

    Verse 9

    But 
    despite 
    what 
    you've 
    been 
    told 

    I 
    once 
    had 
    a 
    soul 

    Left 
    somewhere 
    be
    hind 

    A former 
    friend 
    of 
    mine 

    Verse 10
    And I 
    hate 
    to 
    speak 
    so 
    free 

    But 
    you mean 
    nothing 
    to 
    me 

    So 
    if 
    the street 
    lights 
    they 
    shine 
    bright 

    I?ll 
    get 
    home 
    to
    night 

    Verse 11

    I 
    guess 
    by 
    the 
    dim 
    light 
    in 
    your 
    eyes 

    And 
    that 
    to you 
    all 
    things 

    come 
    as 
    a 
    surprise 

    I should 
    set 
    the 
    steel 
    trap 
    of 
    your 
    thighs 

    And 
    dive 
    right 
    in

    Verse 12
    But to 
    you 
    I'm 
    just 
    a 
    confused 
    child 

    Insecure 
    or 
    in 
    denial 

    Go 
    raise 
    your 
    robes, 
    go 
    have 
    your 
    trial 

    I?ll 
    let 
    you 
    win 

    Verse 13

    You know, 
    I 
    could 
    be 
    anyone 

    God 
    forgive 
    what 
    I 
    should've 
    done 

    A 
    thoughts 
    enough 
    to 
    guilty 
    be 

    Verse 14

    Yes, 
    I 
    guess 
    I 
    made 
    this 
    bed 

    But 
    I?ll 
    take 
    the 
    sidewalk 
    in
    stead 

    That's 
    how 
    we 
    deal 
    with 
    boys 
    like 
    me 

    Verse 15
    But 
    despite 
    what 
    you've 
    been 
    told 

    I 
    once 
    had 
    a 
    soul 

    Left 
    somewhere 
    be
    hind 

    A former 
    friend 
    of 
    mine 

    Verse 16
    And I 
    hate 
    to sound 
    so 
    true 

    But 
    I 
    mean 
    nothing 
    to 
    you 

    So, 
    if 
    the street 
    lights 
    they 
    shine 
    bright 

    I?ll 
    be 
    home 
    to
    night

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
