    Verse 1

    Countless 
    long nights 

    While I 
    stare 
    at 
    the wall 

    ask 
    myself 
    over 
    again... 


    Verse 2
    How 
    did 
    end up 

    In 
    this 
    little 
    hell? 

    How 
    - did 
    it ever 
    be
    gin? 

    Verse 3

    Oh, oh, oh 
    oh 
    oh 
    helpess 

    Verse 4
    Helpless 
    to turn 
    back 
    the clock

    That 
    ticks on 

    With 
    its cruel 
    shiny 
    face 

    It laughs 
    while 
    it watches 

    My 
    every 
    disgrace 
    - I 
    was 

    Born 
    a sap 
    - all 
    the 

    Nurses 
    laughed 
    when 
    they 

    Saw 
    me the 
    first 
    time 

    They 
    giggled 
    and they said 

    "This 
    poor 
    little 
    monster'd be 

    Better 
    off 
    dead." 

    Oh, 
    Verse 5
    oh, oh 
    oh 
    oh 
    helpess 

    Verse 6
    Helplessly 
    trapped 
    in 
    a body 

    I'm sure 

    Should have 
    never 
    been 
    mine. 

    I bet 
    that my 
    real 
    one's 

    Do
    ing 
    just 
    fine 
    - and I 

    Don't 
    belong 
    here, 

    Don't 
    belong 
    here 
    - I 

    Should 
    be quite 
    rich 

    With a big 
    shiny 
    car 

    A house 
    with 
    twelve 
    rooms 

    I deserve 
    to 
    go far. 

    Oh, oh, 
    Verse 7
    oh 
    oh 
    oh 
    helpess 

    Verse 8
    Helplessly 
    falling 
    in love 

    But does 
    love 

    Really 
    last 
    through 
    the night? 

    To love 
    - To 
    honor 

    To 
    kick 
    and 
    to bite! 
    and 

    Don't 
    belong 
    here, 

    Don't 
    belong 
    here 

    It's 
    all a mistake 

    was destined 
    for 
    greatness 

    lead
    er, 
    prophet 

    They're just 
    too 
    blind 
    to 
    notice. 

    Verse 9
    Where 
    did this 
    whole 
    silly 
    story 
    begin? 

    It 
    seems 
    that 
    my mind 
    has 
    gone 

    Blank. 

    think 
    that 
    I've messed 

    up 
    a chapter 
    or 
    two. 

    Per
    haps 
    it is 
    best 
    if I'm 
    frank! 

    Verse 10

    Oh, 
    oh, oh 
    oh 
    oh 
    helpess - 

    Verse 11
    Helplessly 
    lost 
    like 
    that 

    Poor 
    chap 
    who came 

    For 
    an 
    innocent 
    dance. 

    He 
    left 
    with 
    his brain 
    smeared 

    All 
    over 
    his 
    pants! 
    cause 
    he 

    Didn't 
    belong 
    here, 
    he 

    Didn't 
    belong 
    here 

    He 
    never 
    should've 
    left 

    That 
    warm 
    cage 
    in a zoo! 

    His 
    face 
    was so 
    ugly 

    What 
    else 
    could 
    I do? 

    Can 
    you 
    - really 
    blame 
    me, 

    Had 
    to smash 
    it. 

    He left 
    me 
    no choice, 

    He was 
    just 
    like 
    the others. 

    just 
    had 
    to kill 
    him. 

    With 
    my poor, 
    dear, 
    old 

    Mother. 

    Verse 12
    Oh, 
    oh, 
    oh 
    oh oh 
    helpess 

    Verse 13
    Helplessly 
    fucked 
    in 
    the 
    as

    By 
    a legion 
    of forty 
    ex-cons 

    That's 
    That's 
    what it 
    feels 
    like 

    When 
    you 
    walk 
    all 
    over 
    me. 

    Don't 
    belong 
    here, 

    Don't 
    belong 
    here 

    Your eye
    burn right 
    through 
    me. 

    They 
    fill 
    me with 
    fear. 

    could've been 
    at home 

    Watching 
    foot
    ball, 
    an
    d drinking 
    beer. 

    Oh, 
    oh, 
    Verse 14
    oh 
    oh 
    oh 
    helpess, so 
    Help
    less.

      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 🙂

      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.
