Verse 1
Am

I walk on
Dm

decrepit bricks and kick sticks and rusty soda cans

Simply for lack of better stimulation
G

motivation comes and goes
F

like gas station patrons
Em

so sedation compensates for

unexpected vacations
Am

(Thank you )

that's my pre-gratitude
Dm

Post-please leave leave leave me

alone that's just my rude attitude
G

No dysfunction flipside, I'm
F

just your ordinary citizen
C
Em

They're waiting patiently for me to sin again,
Am

but then again (shit...)

I'm really mommy's little angel,
Dm

but that angel on my

shoulder got strangled
G

For trying to tangle with his nemesis
F

he caught him on the wrong day
Em

And got cut like DJs spinning doubles
Am

-(let the fucking song play)

I'm on my way to the store,
Dm

ignoring the city to purchase

a pack of marb reds

with a stack of rolled pennies
G

I could go for Denny's,
Dm
F

and my stomach holds plenty,
Em

but my pockets got holes,

I guess the goal is to stay empty...
Am

Quite simply put,
Dm

me and my pockets share interest

I never fall in love with that pretty

green-eyed temptress,

temptress,
G

twice (yeah right)
F

I learned my lesson the first time
Em

I just couldn't keep up with that ever-changing
Am

Jordan Jordan line of foot apparel

Parallel to many clones,
Dm

my eye's vision monochromes

With seven shades and twenty tones
G

Plus I breath artistic,
F

they eating everything I'm feeding them
Em

Put myself in every painting

and use my spit as mat medium
Am

And results of my children

We share the same genes,
Dm

cast the same reflection

and interpret the same dreams.
G
F
Em

like whoa (x3)

whao (x7)
Verse 2
Am

Chorus: And at night,

I roam these streets with
Dm

absolutely no purpose

Feeling like I'm worthless
G

But contrary to my last statement,
F

I feel fine
Em

Content with the fact that I

know this city's mine
Am

And at night, I roam these streets with
Dm

absolutely no purpose

Feeling like I'm worthless
G

But contrary to my last statement,
F

I feel fine
Em

Content with the fact that

I know this city's mine
Verse 3
Am

I walk down dead end streets

like I didn't see the sign
Dm

Just to turn around and walk back

That's fine and dandy,
G
F
Em

but what's whack is the fact I'm still walking

...like... "thank god for walkmans"
Am

I'm only yawning because

these simply minded

mortals make me sleepy
Dm

So what do I do? I resort to TV
G

In the seemingly lousy

attempt to numb myself
F

with lackluster images
Em

And insignificant information like

"Willis was really Ty Bridges"
Am

just to have the upper hand
Dm

in monotonous conversation,

and for lack of better stimulation
G

I'm painting portraits of
F

dysfunctional families
Em

with gloomy faces rockin;

"Don't Worry, Be Happy" t-shirts,
Am

and and you're assuming I'm tasteless?

You misconstrue it but your
Dm

babies will embrace it

The basic essentials of

a very bitter young man
G

that kicks rusty soda cans
F

and walks on decrepit bricks
Em

with a permanent pair of headphones

trying to make these lectures stick
Am

I'll let the protestors picket,

like they are going to make

a difference
Dm

And watch them die before they realize that
G
F

their cause was nonexistent
Em
Verse 4


Chorus:
Am

And at night, I roam these streets with absolutely
Dm

no purpose (absolutely no purpose)

Feeling like I'm worthless (feeling like

I'm worthless)
G

But contrary to my last statement,
F

I feel fine
Em

Content with the fact that I

know this city's mine
Am

And at night, I roam these streets with absolutely
Dm

no purpose (absolutely no purpose)

Feeling like I'm worthless

(feeling like I'm worthless)
G

But contrary to my last statement,
F

I feel fine
Em

Content with the fact that I

know this city's mine
Verse 5
Am

I walk on shitty city sidewalks stepping

on every single crack
Dm

Reminiscent of that joke we used to

say when we were snotty nose
G

my purpose got defeated when
F

my mom turned paraplegic,
Em
E

plus I failed my civil service exam,
Em

they said I cheated.
Am

…not to mention tainted urine samples and the
Dm

attention span of a second-grader

more more fascinated with building blocks than
G

wasting time stressing his daily lesson
F
E

hence the ridilin I've been gone with the wind like
Em
Am

lucky lottery tickets since day one (one)

I stepped on the left cause

rights wrong (wrong)
Dm

So what do I do? Resort to friendly games
G

of ping pong and sing a song of sixpence
F

I'm none the richer,
Em
E

I just kiss her on the lips and keep trucking
Verse 6
Am

Chorus: And at night,

I roam these streets with absolutely
Dm

no purpose (absolutely no purpose)

Feeling like I'm worthless

(feeling like I'm worthless)
G

But contrary to my last statement,
F

I feel fine
Em
E
Em

Content with the fact that I

know this city's mine
Am

And at night, I roam these streets with absolutely
Dm

no purpose (absolutely no purpose)

Feeling like I'm worthless (feeling like

I'm worthless)
G

But contrary to my last statement,
F

I feel fine
Em

Content with the fact that

I know this city's mine

  • 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.
