    Verse 1
    Am
    F

    He wraps a smile 'round his tired face
    Dm

    To hide the marks of the walk
    E
    Am

    of life through dire straits
    F

    No brothers in arms
    Dm
    E

    The sultan of mood swing
    Am

    Moving in tune with the melodies
    F

    that truth sings

    He knows the music
    Dm
    E

    will stop
    Am

    And he's okay with that,
    F
    Dm

    he can face the facts
    E

    He just wants it to mean something to these
    Am
    F

    people when he fades to black
    Dm

    And he's not sure,
    E
    Am

    fighting for a lost cause and effect
    F

    He tries to find clarity behind
    Dm
    E

    locked doors in his head
    Am

    And if you saw him,
    F
    Dm

    you wouldn't know it
    E

    Hell, his friends don't
    Am
    F

    He's just another lost soul who blocks
    Dm

    the world out with his headphones
    E
    Am

    Words signify nothing,
    F
    Dm

    he doesn't feel your complements
    E
    Am

    Doesn't believe the things you say when
    F
    Dm
    E

    you try to build his confidence
    Am
    F

    There is no success,
    Dm
    E

    only an inability to realise a goal
    Am
    F

    This blackjack of all trades playing with the rest,
    Dm
    E

    he might just fold
    Am

    He can see what his opponents hold,
    F
    Dm
    E

    read their tactics, call their bluffs
    Am

    But he can't play his own hand right,
    F
    Dm

    it's not enough
    E

    It's the way he plays,
    Am
    F

    convinced he's lost from the first turn
    Dm

    He reads the other players fine from
    G

    the skirts to the hurt words
    Am

    The smirks to the T- shirts,
    F

    the nervous to the certain
    G

    Every apple has it's earthworms

    Sorry, he gets carried away when

    he's writing in the third person

    • 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.
