    • Verse 1
    I've seen 
    a 
    lot 
    of things 
    in 
    life 

    that 
    words can't explain 

    See 
    we ain't any 
    different 

    but we just 
    stay 
    the 
    same 

    They 
    never 
    listen 
    when we 
    tell 
    'em, 

    tell 'em 

    All 
    they understand 
    is 
    venom, 
    venom 

    People 
    only 
    use 
    you when 
    you let 
    'em, 

    let 'em 

    Well if 
    that's 
    the case 
    then 

    I'm 
    the 
    one to 
    blame 

    Coz 
    there's 
    a man 
    over 
    board 

    And 
    the 
    tides 
    gonna drag 
    him down 

    If there's 
    a 
    man 
    in the 
    clouds 

    Tell 
    me 
    where 
    the 
    hell 
    is he now 

    Why 
    is the 
    silence 
    so loud? 

    Have I 
    thrown it 
    all 
    the 
    way? 

    Lemme 
    know, Lemme 
    know 

    Tell 
    me 
    is that 
    what 
    happens 
    just 
    for 

    having 
    a 
    good 
    in
    tention, 
    tension 
    oh oh 

    Look 
    what 
    happened to 
    my 
    good 
    intention, 

    ten
    sion 
    oh oh 

    Why 
    won't anybody 
    answer 

    my question 

    Why is the si
    lence 
    so loud? 

    I 
    think 
    I've 
    thrown 
    it all the way 

    I 
    don't know, I 
    don't 
    know 

    But 
    lemme 
    know 

    Hear me out 
    before you 
    label me 

    the 
    bad 
    one 

    I'm walking 
    through 
    the 
    desert but 

    I'm 
    drowning inside 

    No river 
    runs deeper 
    than the 

    tear from my eye 

    You 
    only make 'em 
    get even 
    bitter, 

    bitter 

    I wish I 
    wasn't 
    such a 

    giver, giver 

    I apoligise to my 
    liver
    , liver 

    Coz 
    if 
    that's the 
    case 
    then 

    your the 
    one to 
    blame 

    Coz 
    there's a man over 
    board 

    And 
    the 
    tides gonna 
    drag him down 

    If there's 
    a man 
    in 
    the 
    clouds 

    Then 
    tell 
    me where the 
    hell is 
    he 
    now 

    Why 
    is 
    the silence 
    so 
    loud? 

    Have 
    I 
    thrown it 
    all the 
    way? 

    Lemme 
    know, 
    Lemme know 

    Tell 
    me is 
    that what 
    happens 
    just 

    for having 
    a good 
    intention, 
    oh 

    Look what 
    happened to my 

    good inten
    tion, 
    oh 

    Why 
    won't anybody 
    answer 
    my 
    question 

    Why 
    is the silence 
    so loud 

    I 
    think I've 
    thrown 
    it 
    all 
    the 
    way 

    I don't 
    know, I 
    don't know 

    But 
    lemme 
    know 

    Hear me 
    out before 
    you 

    label 
    me 
    the 
    bad one 

    Am 
    I wrong to 
    think the 

    worlds got 
    it in 
    for me 

    And 
    am I 
    right 
    to say 
    I'm longing 

    for 
    some 
    sympathy 

    See I feel 
    a sound, 
    but 
    I can
    't hear it 

    That's 
    my heart 
    strings getting 

    played 
    like a 
    sym
    phony 

    Yo, 
    you know you 
    turned 
    me insane 

    Why you 
    staring at 
    win
    dow when 

    I'm the 
    one with the 
    pain 

    You know you 
    set me 
    off 
    the rails 

    And 
    you'll 
    be 
    to blame 

    If you're 
    ever 
    here 

    I dropped 
    in 
    front 
    of the 

    train 
    with 
    both 

    Coz there's 
    a man over board 

    And the 
    tides gonna 
    drag him 
    down 

    If 
    there's 
    a man 
    in 
    the 
    clouds 

    Well tell 
    me 
    where 
    the hell 
    is he now 

    Why 
    is 
    the 
    silence 
    so 
    loud? 

    Have 
    I thrown 
    it all the 

    way? 

    Lemme know, Lemme 
    know 

    Tell 
    me 
    is that 
    what 
    happens 
    just 

    for 
    having 
    a good 
    intention, 
    oh 

    Look 
    what 
    happened to my 

    good inten
    tion,

      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

      "

      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.
