    Verse 1
    I'm 
    not 
    happy 

    with 
    my
    self 
    these 
    days 

    I took 
    the 
    best 
    pars 
    of 
    the 
    script 

    and 
    made 
    them 
    all 
    cliches. 

    And 
    this 
    red 
    bandanas 
    surely 

    gon
    na 
    fade 

    Even 
    though 
    it's 
    the 
    only 
    thing 

    the fire 
    didn't 
    take. 

    Verse 2
    Everybody 
    says 
    'you'll 
    grown 
    lot, 

    from 
    this 
    experience'. 

    Baby 
    comes 
    in 
    after 
    a while, 

    becomes 
    president. 

    The 
    best 
    things 
    get 
    disguised 

    sometimes 
    but 
    all 
    know 
    is 

    fi
    nally 
    know 
    the 
    difference 
    between 
    going 
    back 

    and 
    going 
    home. 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    There's 
    lady 
    on 
    my 
    block 

    that 
    has 
    a kid. 

    As 
    he 
    swims 
    in 
    the 
    above 
    ground 
    pool, 

    she 
    seals 
    up 
    the 
    lid. 

    And 
    he 
    thinks 
    it's 
    kinda 
    nor

    mal 
    that 
    she 
    hides, 

    All 
    the 
    cut
    and 
    all 
    the 
    bruises 

    She 
    says 
    it's 
    warpaint 
    for 
    the 
    eyes. 

    Verse 4

    She 
    tells 
    her 
    son 
    she 
    did 
    the 
    best 

    she 
    could 
    as 
    she 
    buries 
    Dad. 

    Maybe 
    he'll 
    grow 
    up 
    to 
    be 
    man, 

    or 
    like 
    his 
    father 
    did. 

    As 
    they 
    leave 
    the driveway 
    for 

    the 
    north
    ern 
    snow, 

    They 
    fi
    nally 
    know 
    the 
    difference 
    between 
    going 
    back 

    and 
    go
    ing 
    home. 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 5
    Cut 
    to 
    life 

    Being 
    born 
    in 
    '69 

    Low 
    class 
    suburb, 

    Everything

    mom 
    and 
    my 
    dad, 

    Drinks 
    being 
    drunk 

    And 
    fights 
    being 
    had. 

    lost 
    my 
    virginity 
    to 
    girl 
    in 
    my 
    band 

    She 
    was 
    four 
    years 
    older, 

    she made 
    me 
    man. 

    So 
    addicted 
    to sex 

    Every 
    chance 
    that I 
    got. 

    With 
    whoever 
    wanted 

    Un
    til 
    I got 
    caught. 

    So 
    took 
    my 
    penicillin and 
    I took 
    my 
    band 

    To 
    a town 
    made 
    of 
    glitter 
    girls 

    and 
    co
    caine 
    friends. 

    Got 
    handed 
    the

    by 

    the age 
    of 
    eight
    een. 

    Saw 
    more 
    than 
    most 
    people 
    that 

    know 
    had 
    ever 
    seen. 

    Played 
    every

    Where 
    they left 
    us 
    to 
    die, 

    without 
    ticket 
    to 
    flee. 

    In sighting

    Packed

    merch 

    in 
    the back 
    of 
    van 

    Living 
    hand- 
    to- 
    mouth

    Signed

    with

    dress. 

    'one 
    hit 
    wonder' I 
    think, 

    describes 
    it 
    best. 

    Decided 
    to 
    burn 
    out, 
    then 
    to fade 
    away. 

    Went 
    back 
    to

    van 
    the 
    very 
    next 
    day. 

    Picked 
    it 
    up, 

    made 
    living 
    without 
    any 
    help. 

    Made 
    amazing 
    friends, 
    if

      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.
