going play of this then I'm to play


Hi there Wren, it's been a little while,
Dm

did you miss me?

You thought you buried me,
F
Am

didn't you, Risky?

Cos I always come back,
Dm

deep down you know that

Deep down you know my
Am

move is in periphery

Wren, aren't you pleased
Dm

to see me?

It's been weeks since we spoke bro,

I know you need me
Am

You're the sheep,

I'm the shepherd,
Dm

not your place to lead me
Am

Not your place to be batting
Am

off the hand that feeds me

Hi Wren, I've been taking
E

some time to be distant

I've been taking some time to be still
F

I've been taking some time
C

to be by myself
Am

Since my therapist told me I'm ill

And I've been making

some progress lately
E

And I've learned some new coping skills
F
C

So I haven't really needed you much man

I think we need to just step back and chill
E
Dm

Ren, you sound more insane than I do

You think that those doctors
Am

are really there to guide you

Been through this a million times
Dm

Your civilian mind is so perfect
Am

You're always being lied to

Okay, take another pill boy
Dm
Am

Drown yourself in the sound

of white noise

Follow this 10 step program
Dm
E

Rejoice, all your prob

lems will be gone
Am

Fucking dumb boy
E

Nah mate, this time is different man trust me
F

I feel like things might be falling in place

and my music's been kind
C

of doing bits too like
Am

I actually might do something great
E

and when I'm gone maybe I'll be remembered
F

for doing something special with my self

that's why you don't think that
C

we should talk man

cuz when you're with me
E

it never seems to help you think that

you can amputate me

I am you you are me you are I am we we are one split
E

in two that makes one so you see you gotta kill you
Am

if you wanna kill me

I'm not leftover dinner

I'm not scraps on the side
Dm

oh your music is thriving

delusional guy
Am

where's your top ten hit
Dm

where's your interview with Oprah,
Am

where are your Grammys,

Ren? Nowhere!
Am

Yeah, but my music's
E

not commercial like that
F

I never chase numbers, statistics or stats

I never write hooks for the radio,
C

they never even play me

So why would I concern
Am

myself with that?
E

But my music is really connected
F

And the people who find it, re spect it

And for me, that's enough
C

Cos this life's been tough
E
C
E

So it gives me a purpose I can rest in
E

Man, you sound so pretentious
Dm

Ren, your music is so self -centred
Am

No one wants to hear another song
Dm

about how much you hate yourself

Trust me
Am

You should be so lucky,

having me inside you
Dm

to guide you, remind you,

to manage expectations,
Am

provide you perspective
Dm

That thing you neglected, I get it,

you wanna be a big deal,
E
Am

next you meet Hendrix, forget it

Man it's not like that,
Dm

man it's just like that,

I'm inside you, you twat
Am

No it's not man, you're wrong,
Dm

when I write I belong

Let me break the fourth wall

by acknowledging this song
Am

Ren sits down,

has a stroke of genius,
Dm

he wants to write a song that

was not done previous
Am

A battle with his subconscious,
E

Eminem did it
E

Played on guitar, Plan B did it
Am

Man, you're not original,
Dm

you criminal rip -off artist

The pinnacle of your success
Am

is stealing other people's material

Right, mate, we've heard it all before
E
Am

Uh, she sells seashells on the seashore

Fuck you, I don't need you,
E

I don't need to hear this
F

Cos I'm fine by myself, I'm a genius

And I will be great,
C

and I will make waves

And I'll shake up the whole
E

world beneath us
E

That's right, speak your truth
Dm

Your fucking God complex

leaks out of you
Am

It's refreshing to ask for you,
Dm

say it instead of downplay

Uh, music is all about
E

the creative process

And if people can find something

to relate to within that

then that's just a bonus.
Am

Fuck you, I'ma fucking kill you,
Dm

Well, fucking kill me then,

let's fucking have you, Ren.
Am

I'ma do it, watch me prove it,

who are you to doubt

my music?

Cause I call the shots,
E

I choose if you die.
F

Yeah, I call the shots

and so I choose who survives.
E
C

I'll tie you up in knots

when I lock you inside.
E
Am
E
E
Am

Newsflash.

I was created at the dawn of creation.
E
F

I am temptation.
E

I am the snake in Eden.
Am
E

I am the reason for treason.
C
E

Be heading all kings, I am sin.

With no rhyme or reason
Dm
E

Son of the morning, Lucifer,

Antichrist, father of lies
F

Mostopheles, truth in a blender,
F#
D

de ceitful pretender
G
E

The banished avenger,

the righteous surrender
Am
E

When standing in front of my solar eclipse
Am

My name is stitched to your lips

so you see
E

I won't bow to the will of a mortal
Am

Feeble and normal, you wanna kill me?

I'm eternal and mortal
Bb

I live in every decision
E
C

That catalyzes chaos, that causes division
E
Dm

I live inside death, a beginning of end
Eb
E

I am you, you are me, I am you,
Am

I've been taking some
E
F

time to be still

I've been taking some time
C

to be by myself
Am

And I've spent half my life ill
E

But just as sure as the tide starts turning

Just as sure as the night has dawn
F

Just as sure as the rainfall
C

soon runs dry
Am

When you stand in an eye of a storm
E

I was made to be tested and twisted
F

I was made to be broken and beat

I was made by his hand
C

It's all part of his plan
Am

That I stand on my own two feet
E

And you know me, my will is eternal

And you know me, you've
F

met me before

Face to face with a beast
C

I will rise from the east

And I'll settle on the ocean floor
Am
E

And I go by many names also
F

Some people know me as Hope
C

Some people know me as the voice

That you hear when you loosen
Am

the noose on the rope

And you know how I
E

know that I'll prosper?

Cos I stand here beside you today
F

I have stood in the flames
C

that cremated my brain
Am

And I didn't once flinch or shake
E

So coward the man I've become
F

When I sing from the top of my lungs

That I won't retire
Am
C

I'll stand in your fire
Am

Inspired by me to be strong
E

And when I am gone I will rise
F

In the music that I left behind

Ferocious, persistent,
C

immortal like you
Am
E

Irreplacable in different sides

When I was seventeen years old

I shouted out into an empty room

into a blank canvas

that I would defeat the forces of evil

and for the next 10 years of my life

I suffered the consequences

with autoimmunity,

illness and psychosis.

As I got older I realised there

were no real winners
E

and there were no real losers

in psychological warfare

but there were victims

and there were students.
E

It wasn't David versus Goliath.

It was a pendulum eternally swaying
E

from the dark to the light

And the more intensely that the light shone,


the darker the shadow it cast.

It was never really a battle for me to win,

it was an eternal dance.

Like a dance,

the more rigid I became, the harder it got.

The more I cursed my clumsy footsteps,

the more I struggled.

So I got older, and I learned to relax,


and I learned to soften,

and that dance got easier.

It is this eternal dance

that separates human beings from angels,

from demons, from gods.

And I must not forget,

we must not forget,

that we are human beings.

  • 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.
