Yo, I don't know what it's like

to be addicted to pills

I'm thinking this isn't real

Into my pillowcases,

you say you coming to get us

Then call 'em a minute later

just to tell us you not, I'm humiliated

I'm in a room

with a parent that I don't barely know

Some lady in the corner watching us,

while she taking notes

Told me you love me and congratulations

We're too young to understand

I can see it in your eyes,

Verse 3
F

Our last conversation,

you and I sat in the living room
Am

Talking 'bout my music

and I brought you something to listen to
Em

You started crying, telling me this isn't you
F

Couple weeks later,

guess you were singing a different tune

You took them pills

for the last time, didn't you?
Am

They took you from us once,

guess they came back to finish you
Em

Crying my eyes out in the studio is difficult
F

Music is the only place

that I can go to speak to you

It took everything

inside of me to not scream at your funeral
Am

Sitting in my chair,

that person talking was pitiful
Em

I wish you were here mama

but every time I picture you
F

All I feel is pain,

I hate the way I remember you

They found you on the floor,

I could tell that you felt hollow
Am

Gave everything you had

plus your life to them pill bottles

You gave everything you had

plus your life to them pill bottles

Don't know if you hear me or not,

  • 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.
