    Verse 1
    Heaven, 

    is there 
    chance 
    that 
    you 
    could come 
    down 

    And 
    open 
    doors 
    to 
    hurting 

    people 
    like 
    me 

    People 
    like 
    me 

    Verse 2
    Is it 
    fair 
    to say 
    that 
    I am 

    stressing 
    out 

    I'm stationed 
    in 
    Iraq 

    and they 
    won't 
    let me 
    out 

    My 
    homeys said 
    was stupid 

    for 
    even 
    join
    ing 

    My counselor 
    said 
    that my 
    de

    cision 
    was 
    disappointing 

    How 
    she had 
    good 
    for 

    good state 
    colleges 

    And 
    with 
    my good 
    grades 
    it 
    wouldn't 

    have been 
    problem 

    But they 
    don't understand 

    the power 
    of significance 

    More 
    than brilliance 
    and cer

    tainly 
    more 
    than difference 

    And if 
    you ask 
    me now 
    would I 
    repeat 
    it 

    Would 
    I fight 
    in 
    a war 
    I don't 
    believe 
    in 

    Well 
    the 
    answer 
    is 
    if not 
    me 

    where 
    the cancer 
    is 

    They 
    been doing 
    this 
    before 

    Jesus 
    of Nazareth 

    And after 
    all 
    this time 
    it 
    is still 

    deadly 
    hazardous 

    And bush 
    isn't 
    really 
    being 

    all 
    that 
    inaccurate 

    When he 
    says 
    we're winning 
    the 

    war 
    cos 
    its staggering 

    But that's 
    cause 
    we're killing 

    everybody 
    that 
    we see 

    And 
    most 
    of us 
    soldiers 

    we can 
    barely 
    fall 
    asleep 

    And 
    time 
    and time 
    again 
    I'm 

    feeling 
    incompetent 

    Cos 
    my women 
    back 
    home, 

    we're constantly 
    arguing 

    And 
    must 
    be crazy 
    cos 

    all I'm 
    obsessing 
    with 
    is 

    Her 
    Myspace 
    and 

    Facebook and who's 
    commenting 

    swear 
    to 
    god 
    if she's 
    cheatin' 

    I'm 
    doing 
    her ass 
    in 

    I can 
    tell 
    with one 
    look 
    and it 

    came 
    to me 

    Sounding 
    like something 

    from 
    a song 
    hook 

    Verse 3
    Heaven, 
    is there 
    chance 
    that 

    you 
    could come 
    down 

    And 
    open 
    doors 
    to hurting 

    people 
    like 
    me 

    People 
    like 
    me 

    Verse 4
    Meet 
    Sarah, 

    the proud 
    mother 
    of 
    young Sebastian 

    Sub
    urban 
    professional 
    went 

    to college 
    in 
    shton 

    In self 
    pity 
    she 
    suddenly 
    cried 

    Would 
    my life 
    be 
    important 
    if 

    I suddenly 
    died? 

    Neighbors 
    saying 
    what 
    a nice 

    women 
    she was 

    Keeping 
    mostly 
    to 
    herself 
    ever 

    since 
    the divorce 

    And with 
    the 
    company 

    downsizing and the fall 
    and all 

    She really 
    shouldn't 
    take 

    it that 
    personal 
    at all 

    It wasn't 
    her boss 
    who had 

    his eyes 
    on 
    her thighs 

    And got 
    a rise 
    from 
    her rising 

    off 
    the desk 
    though 

    And 
    des
    pite 
    remembering 

    saying 
    no 
    plenty 
    of times 

    It 
    was 
    still 
    a damn 
    surprise 

    being 
    let 
    go 

    And now 
    stuck 
    with 
    a mortgage 

    she 
    cant 
    afford 

    And too 
    educated 
    to blame 

    the 
    corporate 
    world 

    She got 
    on welfare 
    and hated 

    it case 
    work 
    a power 
    tripping 

    And generally 
    being 
    degraded 
    if 

    Nothing 
    else 
    she 
    was treated 

    sick 

    And ineffective 
    which 
    is 
    the worst 
    thing 

    That 
    she'd 
    been left 
    with 

    Damn, 
    no ma
    gic from 
    David 
    Blane 

    No painter 
    to 
    pain this 
    pain 

    No Mor
    gan Freeman 
    to narrate 
    the 
    shame 

    So 
    she took 
    refuge 
    and prayer 

    Kinda 
    like 
    finding 
    god 
    in the 
    phone 
    book 

    And 
    it came 
    to her 
    sounding 

    something 
    like 
    a song 
    hook 

    Verse 5
    Heaven, 
    is there 
    chance 
    that 

    you 
    could come 
    down 

    And open 
    doors to 
    hurting 

    people 
    like 
    me 

    People 
    like 
    me 

    Verse 6
    guess 
    I told 
    you 
    about 
    myself 
    to a 
    degree 

    Just 
    by telling 
    you 
    about 

    people 
    like 
    me 

    But people 
    like 
    me 
    they 

    speak 
    politely 

    They don't 
    start 
    no 
    beef 
    or 
    peace 

    Every
    body 
    gotta 
    eat 

    but everybody 
    doesn't 

    Which 
    is 
    why 
    I want 
    to tell 

    you about 
    my favorite 
    cousin 

    He 
    and I 
    grew 
    up 
    where 
    the sun 
    shines 

    And 
    we 
    both 
    partook 
    with 
    the gun 
    crimes 

    And 
    we 
    both 
    liked 
    American 
    rap 
    rhymes 

    Even 
    though 
    we didn't 

    understand 
    one 
    line 

    If you 
    re
    member 
    my 
    line of 

    notes 
    in my last 
    album 

    I talked 
    about 
    a close 
    call 
    with 
    a grenade 

    I think 
    we both 
    must 
    have been 

    about 
    7th grade 

    But don't 
    panic 
    we both 

    survived 
    without 
    damage 

    But we 
    de
    veloped 
    a bond 
    like we 

    survived 
    the titanic 

    But when 
    the 
    country 

    became 
    frantic 

    My mother 
    tried 
    to get 
    us out, 
    planned 
    it 

    To the 
    last 
    detail 
    except 

    the plan 
    got 
    derailed 

    Cos 
    there wasn't 
    enough 

    money 
    for 
    the 
    plain 
    tickets 

    How 
    bitter 
    when 
    my mother 
    had 
    to 

    chose 
    who to 
    take 
    with her 

    So my 
    cousin 
    got 
    left 
    in the 
    war 

    and that's 
    just 
    hard 
    to re
    call 

    But now 
    I take 
    refuge 
    and prayer 

    Kinda 
    like 
    finding 
    god 

    in the 
    phone 
    book 

    It came 
    to me 
    sounding 
    kinda 
    like 

    Verse 7
    something 
    from 
    a song hook 

    Heaven, 
    is there 
    chance 
    that 

    you 
    could come 
    down 

    And 
    open 
    doors 
    to 
    hurting

      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 🙂

      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.
