Verse 1

Don't you hate it when your

plans are stated

and you're feeling later

than you're
F

Watch him fall apart
E

right in front of your eyes
Am

Right up under your nose,

out from under your feet

Look there the rug goes,
F
E

it all happened so fast
Am

He was having a blast,

can't believe he was
F

He fell flat on your as s
E

He thought he had it all figured out
Am

And finally realized what
D

the game was about
Eb

And how to formulate the
D

most direct route
Bb

Showed you math, checked your work
Am

to remove all doubt
F

But see you miscalculated
E

The self -proclaimed greatest
Am

is often overrated
F

It's simple common sense
Eb

to claim dominance
D

But overconfidence,
Bb
Am
F

it doesn't compensate for lack of confidence
C

Yup, like, remember Richie
Eb

Rich's dog, Dollar?
F#

He used to daydream about
A
Am

the fame and the glory
C

He gets so caught up
Eb

in hearing the crowd holler

But when crunch time came,
Am
D

it was a whole nother story
F

Or, for those that never
E

dug the cartoons
Am

Sometimes the school hall

resembled a Wild West saloon
F
Eb

You know them goons poppin' shit
D
Bb

about settling beef on hand skills
Am

Then they surrender their teeth
F
E
Am

Yup, cause when it all goes down

had some great expectations
Eb
D

But they late and dollars short
Bb

Preparations made for
Am

weak foundations
E
F
E
A

When it all goes down

You'll be going down right along with it
Eb
D

Ain't you heard to watch out

for the quiet ones?
Bb

They'll be the last ones
E

standing when the riot's done

Have you ever tried
F

Climbing Jacob's Ladder?

Looking California
E

Feeling Minnesota
C
D

Thinking Occam's Razor's

cutting Murphy's Law
Am
A

Catching 22 L's like you never saw
E
F

He's like that brand new rapper

with instant mass appeal

He caught a break with that
E
Am

big major record deal
E

Acting like the rest is already history
G

But the release date remains a mystery
F
E

So you can expect the best
Am

But if you ain't prepared

for the worst
F

You can expect the best
Eb

When you predict a piece of cake
D

Expect a test
Bb

You brought a knife to a gunfight
Am
F

Protect your chest

Put your vest to see through
E

Your heart pumps Kool -Aid
Am

And what's worse,
F

the only one that drank it was you
Eb

Now you're screaming, let's do this
D

Supported by your own hubris
Bb

That's why you're hanging
Am

with Anubis
F
E
Am

Cause when it all goes down
Eb

When it all goes down
Eb
D
Bb

That's when it all goes down
Am
Dm
C

Yeah, jet setters,
Eb

go -getters, trim -setters
F#
Am

Big dreamers with vendettas
A
C

Go ahead and dream big,

we're playing better
Eb

And keep quiet about your
F

damn cheddar
G
Am

Cause a cheese grin and shine
F

don't always mean win
C

nin' time time,
D

that was her brother named Jail,

keep him anonymous
E

Yeah, for namesake, forsake,

this is too ominous
C

He bragged to his girl
D

about his physical prominence
F

Ha, when economical was

more synonymous
C

See, long story short
D

Literally
E

Was she upset? Considerably

And she told people
G

Now his box office smash has no sequel
F

Like that security guard
E

Yeah, what the brother say?
Am

You want it to be one way
F

But it's the other way
Eb

Cause he made the same mistake
D

politicians had
Bb
E

Talkin' all that jazz,

somethin' like that
F
E

Actual fact, the Craven Dog barks
Am

about bit in' big dogs
F

don't wait for the bite back
Eb
D

Lesson learned and the truth hurts
Bb

Now you cry a humble pie
E

for your just deserts
D
F
E
Am

Cause when it all goes down

You can have the great expectations
Eb
D

But they late and dollars short
Bb

Preparations make for
Am

weak foundations
E
F
E
Am

When it all goes down

Just never go according to plan

  • 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.
