    This 
    is 
    where 
    the

    This 
    is 
    only 
    half 
    a 
    mile 
    away 

    from

    This 
    is 
    where 
    my 
    life 
    changed 
    in 
    a day 

    And 
    then 
    it changed 
    back 

    Buried 
    in 
    the din

    Verse 2
    This

    Here 
    nobody 
    takes 
    me 
    for 
    a fool, 

    just 
    for 
    a fake 

    Later

    Verse 4
    Just 
    as 
    soon 
    as 
    we 
    were 
    on 
    the ground 

    We 
    were 
    back 
    in 
    the jet 

    Just 
    another 
    three 
    day 
    foreign 
    tour 

    we'd 
    never 
    forget 

    It's 
    hard 
    to sym
    pathize 
    with 
    all

    Verse 6

    I 
    can
    't help 
    anyone 
    'cause 

    everyone's 
    so 
    cold 

    Every
    one's 
    so 
    skeptic
    al 
    of 

    everything 
    they're 
    told 

    And

    I 
    get 
    sick 
    of 
    needing 

    to 
    be 
    sold 

    Verse 7

    Though 
    it's 
    only 
    half 
    a 
    month 
    away, 

    the media's 
    gone 

    An 
    entertaining 
    scan
    dal 
    broke 
    today, 

    but I 
    can't 
    move 
    on 

    I'm 
    haunted 
    by 
    a story 
    and 
    I 
    do 

    my 
    be
    st 
    to tell 
    it 

    Can't 
    even 
    give 
    this 
    stuff 
    away, 

    why 
    would 
    I 
    sell 
    it? 

    Everybody's 
    laugh

    while 
    at

    A 
    world 
    that 
    loves 
    its 
    irony 

    must 
    hate 
    the 
    protest

    Verse 8
    So, 
    I'll

      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 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.

      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.
