  • Verse 1
    Been 
    thinking 
    that 
    it 
    might 
    be 
    nice 

    To 
    see 
    myself 
    in 
    someone's 
    eyes 

    little 
    spitting 
    image, 

    God, 
    could 
    show 
    me 

    I'm 
    not 
    the 
    best 
    at 
    staying 
    calm 

    But 
    think 
    could 
    handle 
    almost 

    Every 
    twisting 
    curveball he 
    could 
    throw 
    me 

    Verse 2
    could 
    choose 
    what 
    he 
    wears 

    Comb 
    his 
    hair 
    and 
    brush 
    his 
    teeth 

    Pack 
    his 
    lunch 
    and 
    check 
    his 

    home
    work 
    for 
    the 
    week 

    Make 
    sure 
    his 
    shoes 
    are 
    tied 

    and 
    say 
    it's 
    time 
    to 
    go 

    Drive 
    real 
    slow, 
    pull 
    up 
    and 
    park 

    just 
    couldn't 
    let 
    him 
    get 
    out 
    of 
    the 
    car 

    Verse 3
    In 
    the 
    land 
    of 
    the 
    free 
    and 
    the 

    home 
    of 
    the 
    terrified 

    They're 
    thrown 
    to 
    the 
    wolves 
    in 
    the 

    name 
    of 
    the 
    red 
    and 
    white 

    Don't 
    know 
    if 
    I'm 
    built 
    for 
    that 

    pray- 
    that- 
    he- 
    gets- 
    lucky 
    life 

    Of 
    holding 
    tight 
    and 
    waiting 
    by 
    the 
    phone 

    And 
    hoping 
    he 
    comes 
    home 

    Verse 4

    couldn't 
    stop 
    him 
    getting 
    sad 

    Or 
    bundle 
    him 
    in 
    bubble 
    wrap 

    I'd 
    try 
    to 
    help 
    him 
    keep 

    his 
    heart 
    wide 
    open 

    I'd 
    teach 
    him 
    how 
    to 
    bend 
    and 
    sway 

    That 
    people 
    leave 
    and 
    seasons 
    change 

    But 
    how 
    could 
    explain 

    world 
    that's 
    broken? 

    Verse 5

    could 
    take 
    all 
    his 
    friends 
    to 

    film 
    and 
    buy 
    them 
    seat

    Give 
    him 
    money 
    for 
    the 
    pop

    corn 
    and 
    the sweets 

    Make 
    sure 
    he 
    brings 
    coat 
    in 

    case 
    he 
    gets 
    too 
    cold 

    Drive 
    real 
    slow, 
    pull 
    up 
    and 
    park 

    just 
    couldn't 
    let 
    him 
    get 
    out 
    of 
    the 
    car 

    Verse 6
    In 
    the 
    land 
    of 
    the 
    free 
    and 
    the 

    home 
    of 
    the 
    terrified 

    They're 
    thrown 
    to 
    the 
    wolves 
    in 
    the 

    name 
    of 
    the 
    red 
    and 
    white 

    Don't 
    know 
    if 
    I'm 
    built 
    for 
    that 

    pray- 
    that- 
    he- 
    gets- 
    lucky 
    life 

    Of 
    holding 
    tight 
    and 
    waiting 
    by 
    the 
    phone 

    And 
    hoping 
    he 
    comes 
    home 

    Verse 7

    It 
    turns 
    my 
    stomach, 
    breaks 
    my 
    heart 

    What 
    happens 
    in 
    our 
    own 
    backyard 

    No 
    blessing 
    in 
    the 
    lesson 

    we 
    keep 
    learn
    ing 

    Be
    fore 
    it's 
    time 
    to 
    pick 
    your 
    name, 
    oh, 

    believe 
    the winds 
    can 
    change 

    And 
    could 
    drop 
    you 
    off 
    without 
    worry

    Verse 8
    In 
    the 
    land 
    of 
    the 
    free 
    and 
    the 

    home 
    of 
    the 
    terrified 

    They're 
    thrown 
    to 
    the 
    wolves 
    in 
    the 

    name 
    of 
    the 
    red 
    and 
    white 

    'Cause 
    no 
    one 
    is 
    built 
    for 
    that 

    pray- 
    that- 
    he- 
    gets- 
    lucky 
    life 

    Of 
    holding 
    tight 
    and

    • 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.
