    Verse 1
    When 
    was 

    the last 
    time 
    you felt 
    so 
    happy 

    You had 
    to 
    give 
    yourself 
    a good 
    pinch 

    When 
    did 
    you 
    ever 
    fail 
    one 

    of 
    life's 
    highs 

    Without 
    using 
    stepladder 
    or 
    winch 

    Verse 2
    That's 
    why 
    the lifeless 

    crave 
    the 
    past 

    'Cause 
    when 
    they're flogged, 

    stoned, 
    lynched 

    They can 
    watch 
    the 
    living 

    fizzle 
    out 
    to 
    naught 

    Without 
    even 
    moving 
    one 
    inch 

    Verse 3
    That's 
    what 
    keeps 
    you 
    alive 

    The thought 
    of 
    undeserved 
    death 

    That's 
    why 
    cynics 
    deep-sea 
    dive 

    dive 

    Just 
    to 
    watch 
    someone 

    healthy 
    lose 
    breath 

    Verse 4
    That's 
    what 
    really 
    makes 
    you 
    tick 

    When 
    the fearless 
    are stopped 

    in 
    their 
    track
    s 

    Optimism 
    looks 
    up 
    counts 
    the stars 

    Pess
    imism 
    looks 
    down 
    and 

    Interlude 1
    counts 
    cracks 



    Verse 5
    The Monday 
    morning 

    moaners club 

    That meet 
    every 
    week 
    on 
    park 
    bench 

    At least 
    they've 
    earned 

    their 
    grumble 
    stripes 

    When 
    they fought 
    tooth 
    and 
    nail 
    in 
    the trench 

    Verse 6
    If 
    you 
    ever 
    sat 
    down 
    in 
    one 

    place 
    too 
    long 

    They'd 
    need 
    a fork-lift 
    truck 

    truck 
    and 
    a 
    wrench 

    Indecision 
    drip 
    feeds 
    modesty 

    But 
    apathy 
    fails 
    even 
    to quench 

    Verse 7
    That's 
    what 
    keeps 
    you 
    alive 

    The thought 
    of 
    undeserved 
    death 

    That's 
    why 
    cynics 
    deep-sea 
    dive 

    dive 

    Just 
    to watch 
    someone 

    healthy 
    lose 
    breath 

    Verse 8
    That's 
    what 
    really 
    makes 
    you 
    tick 

    When 
    the fearless 
    are stopped 

    in 
    their track
    s 

    Optimism 
    looks 
    up 
    counts 
    the stars 

    Pess
    imism 
    looks 
    down 

    and 
    counts 
    cracks 

    Verse 9
    And 
    even 
    when 
    it's 
    every 

    man 
    for 
    himself 

    You still 
    like 
    to stick 
    with 
    the bunch 

    You'd 
    rather 
    tag 
    along 
    at 

    the 
    back 
    of 
    the crowd 

    To 
    risk 
    anything 
    on 
    a 
    hunch 


    Verse 10
    That's 
    what 
    keeps 
    you 
    alive 

    The thought 
    of 
    undeserved 
    death 

    That's 
    why 
    cynics 
    deep-sea 
    dive 

    dive 

    Just 
    to 
    watch 
    someone 

    healthy 
    lose 
    breath 

    Verse 11
    That's 
    what 
    really 
    makes 
    you 
    tick 

    When 
    the fearless 
    are stopped 

    in 
    their 
    track
    s 

    Optimism 
    looks 
    up 
    counts 
    the stars 

    Pess
    imism 
    looks 
    down 

    and 
    counts 
    cracks 

    That's 
    what 
    keeps 
    you 
    alive

      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 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.
