Verse 1
Am

We break and train

our children just like an animal.
G
Am

We fill them up with parasites,

poise, and dreams of fear.

We hand them false gods

on a golden platter,

Then we remind them to

watch behind their

ears.

We gave up our own dreams so

the kid could go to college,
G
Am

Then they grow up and resent us,

accuse us of impossible psychological crime.

The normal relationship in hell

is about getting even

But you won't find that in your

Sunday

New
F
Am
G
Am

York time

Anger, sadness, hatred, envy
G
Am

These are just fear wearing

the same old cheap mask
G
Am

You're doomed if you don't

learn forgiveness, sister.
G
Am

We're all driving around lost,

we don't know who to ask.

We're all stopping at abandoned gas

stations to ask direction.

There's no more roadmaps to

tell us who the hell we are.

Raised on

TV commercials, organized religion.
G
Am

Following corrupt wise men who've

been navigating by the wrong star
Dm

When a man and a woman couple up
Am

there's really four people talking
Dm

Hidden people, outer images,
Em
E

who you gonna start?
Dm

So two people in love are like one
Am
G

big old crocodile
Dm
G

Crocodiles have four -chambered

hearts

Crocodiles have four
Am

chambers of hearts
G
Am

Now
Dm
Am

they tell me

there's some guy down in

Dallas named

Ole
G
Am

He's running some

type of early

Christian

community down there
G

I'm told.
Am

Well the
G
Am

Gnostic gospel said whatever you bring
G
Am

forth will save you, everything you don't
G

bring forth will shatter your soul.
Am

Christ said my kingdom is not of this world,

but hell, they went and built their

earthly kingdoms anyway.

Then they paid out millions of

dollars to defend

pedophile priests.
G
Am

Meanwhile people are living in the gutter holding signs,
G
Am
G
Am

have you hugged your kid today?

We reach the end of the road and find out

no one else can make us happy.

We've waged all the wars of

drama and control.

We've sacrificed it all for wives, husbands,

money, children, false religion

That old line about gaining the

world but losing your soul
G

So it's always back to living with yourself or
Am

whoever it is living in your body

Grandpa said don't put the

horse before the cart

Me,
G

I'm just an old alligator swimming through dark,
Am

uncharted waters

And, uh, alligators have four
G
Am

-chambered hearts
Dm

When a man and

woman couple up
Am

There's really four people always talking,

talking
Dm

Hidden person, outer person
E

Where the hell you gonna start?
Dm

Two people in love

Or just one big old crocodile
Am

Swimming through the mud
G
Dm

Crocodiles have four
G
Dm
Am

-chambered hearts
G
Dm

I said crocodiles have four
D
Am

-chambered hearts
G
Dm
Am

Crocodiles have four -chambered bodies.

  • 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.
