    Verse 1
    Hey, turn 
    around, 

    man, 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    take 
    you 
    downtown 

    If 
    you 
    wanna 
    grab 
    a sack, 

    go 
    ahead 
    and 
    do 
    it 

    My 
    fear 
    of 
    death 
    was set 
    in 
    place 
    by 
    a lie 

    A glorified 
    youth, 

    that's 
    the 
    only 
    way 
    of 
    life, 
    yeah 

    Verse 2
    My teeth 
    were shakin', 

    slowly, 
    surely 
    dissipating 

    Yeah, 
    the 
    wrinkles 
    on 
    my 
    face, 

    they 
    weren't 
    from 
    my 
    old 
    age 

    try 
    to 
    under
    stand 
    you 
    throwin' 
    it 
    away 

    All 
    your 
    talent 
    down 
    the 
    drain, 
    man, 

    it 
    just 
    makes 
    perfect 
    sense 

    When 
    look 
    you 
    in 
    the 
    Verse 3
    eyes, 

    it 
    takes 
    me 
    right 
    back 

    Yeah, 
    your 
    fu
    ture 
    helps 
    me 

    move 
    on 
    from 
    my 
    dark 
    past 

    Verse 4
    Don't 
    give 
    in 

    It's 
    not 
    real 

    You don't 
    have 
    choice 

    Choose 
    to 
    feel 

    Verse 5
    Your 
    word
    s' insane, 
    man, 

    only 
    if 
    was 
    left-brained 

    could 
    understand 
    all 
    your 
    funny 
    logic 

    I was 
    in
    different, 
    I saw 
    the first 
    time 

    Come 
    on 
    back, 
    come on 
    back, 

    come on 
    back 
    to gain 
    your 
    life 

    Verse 6
    Yeah, 
    man, 
    it's 
    hard 
    when 

    that 
    loco 
    keeps 
    on 
    moving 

    Got 
    some 
    money 
    and 
    some 
    change 

    just 
    to 
    wait 
    for 
    my 
    train 

    I try 
    to 
    stop 
    me 
    now, 

    I'm 
    locked 
    and 
    engaged 

    Come on 
    back, 
    come 
    on 
    back, 

    come on 
    back 
    and leave 
    your 
    pain 

    When 
    look 
    you 
    in 
    the 
    Verse 7
    eyes, 

    it 
    takes 
    me 
    right 
    back 

    Yeah, 
    your 
    future 
    helps 
    me 

    move 
    on 
    from 
    my 
    dark 
    past 

    Verse 8
    Don't 
    give 
    in 

    It's 
    not 
    real 

    You don't 
    have a 
    choice 

    Choose 
    to 
    feel 

    Verse 9
    Yeah, 
    we 
    found 
    you 
    laying 

    in 
    your 
    hotel 
    room 

    With 
    your 
    Bible 
    tied 
    up 
    because 

    you 
    were 
    up 
    to no 
    good 

    We started 
    shaking 
    you 
    all 
    in 
    your 
    bed 

    Doing 
    everything 
    we 
    could, 

    just 
    hoping 
    that 
    you're not 
    dead 

    We 
    dragged 
    you 
    out 
    and 

    threw 
    you 
    into 
    our 
    car 

    Pushed 
    the 
    pedal 
    to 
    the 
    floor 

    and drove 
    to 
    the 
    hospital 
    yard 

    They 
    brought 
    you 
    in 
    and 
    told 
    us 
    both 
    to 
    wait 

    was 
    praying 
    to 
    myself 
    it's 
    not 

    too 
    late 

    Verse 10

    There 
    are 
    consequences 
    for 
    your 

    ac
    tions 
    (living hand 
    to mouth) 

    There 
    are 
    con
    sequences 
    in 
    real 
    life 

    There 
    are 
    con
    sequences, 

    you can't 
    escape 
    from them 

    There 
    are 
    con
    sequences 
    (leave your 

    bed of concrete) 

    Verse 11
    Don't hide 
    behind 
    your reasons 
    Real life 
    is full 
    of 

    feeling 
    (living hand to 

    mouth) 

    Things come and 
    go 
    in 
    seasons 

    Truth 
    should 
    transcend 


    our 
    feelings 
    (leave your 
    bed of con
    crete) 

    Don't 
    hide 
    behind 
    your 
    reasons 

    Real 
    life 
    is 
    full of 
    feeling 

    (living hand to 
    mouth) 

    Things come and 
    go 
    in 

    seasons 

    Truth 
    should 
    tran
    scend 
    our 
    feelings

    • 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.
