Verse 1
G

I got me a shovel
Em

And I'm digging a ditch
C

And I'm going to fight

for this four square feet of land
G
D

like a mean old son of a bitch
G

I got me a future
Em

I'm not stuck on the past
C

I got no new tricks,

yeah I'm up on bricks but me
G
D

I'm a machine and I was built to last
Chorus 1
C

I'm trying to get better
D
G

because I haven't been my best
C

She took a plain black marker,
D
Em

started writing on my chest
C

She drew a line across the middle
D

of my broken heart
G

And said, come on now,
D
Em

let's fix this mess
C

We could get better
D
G

Because we're not dead yet
Verse 2

They threw me a whirlwind
Em

And I spat back the sea
C

I took a battering but I've got thicker skin

and the best people
G
D

I know looking out for me
G

So I'm taking the high road
Em

My engines running high and fine
C

May I always see the road

rising up to meet me
G

And my enemies defeated
D

in the mirror behind
Chorus 2
C

I'm trying to get better
D
G

because I haven't been my best
C

She took a plain black marker,
D
Em

started writing on my chest
C

She drew a line across the middle
D

of my broken heart
G

And said, come on now,
D
Em

let's fix this mess
C

We could get better
D
G

Because we're not dead yet
Bridge 1
D
A

It's just a knot in in the small of your back
C
A

You could work it out with your fingers
D
A

It's just a tune that got stuck in your head
C
A

You could work it out with your fingers
D

It's just some numbers
A

tangled up in your sums
C
A

You could work it out with your fingers
D

It's just a simple
A

braille mission from the person you miss
C

A reminder you could always be
A
D

A little bit better than this
Chorus 3
C

So try and get better
D
G

and don't ever accept less
C

Take a plain black marker
D
Em

and write this on your chest
C

Draw a line
D

underneath all of this unhappiness
G

Come on now,
D
Em

let's fix this mess
C

We could get better
D
G
Em

Because we're not dead yet
C

We could get better
D
G

Because we're not dead yet

  • 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.
