Em
Bm
Well, goodbye
Verse 1


cruel world,
D

that's how these usually start
Em

When you got it in your head,
G

put a bullet in your heart
Bm

I've been here before,
D

and here I am again
G
D

Hangin' in the balance
Em
Bm

between the pistol and the pen

Well, which one to choose,
D

is it my choice to make?
Em

That's a loaded question,
G

both could be my saving grace.
Verse 2
Bm

I've known them each
D

as enemy and friend.
Verse 3
G
D

Now, one would be my destiny,
Em

the pistol or the pen.

I've lost everything I've ever had
D

except my sanity.

G

And right now,
Bm
G
D
F#

I'm beginning to doubt that.
Bm
D

I've been driven to the edge of ink and lead
Em

If I use one, I'm only dying
G

Use the other and I'm dead
Bm

But at least this hell's a
D

hell that has an end
G

So there's really no decision
D
Em
D

between the pistol and the pen
G

I've lost everything I've ever had
D

except my sanity
G

And right now, I'm beginning to doubt
Bm
A
G

that I've got steel around my finger
D

And I've come as close
F#

as taking off my hat
Bm

Well how strange to see myself
D

in black and white
Em

With an empty smokin' pistol,
G

thinkin' words I didn't write,
Bm

I'd give any thing to have
D

the choice again.
G
D

Oh, but once you choose the pistol,
Em
Bm

you can never choose the pen.

Well, goodbye cruel world,
D

that's how these usually start
Em

When you've got it in your head
G

to put a bullet in your heart
Bm

I've been here before and
D

here I am again
G
D

Hangin' in the balance
Em
Bm

between the pistol and the pen.

Well which one to choose,
D

is it my choice to make?
Em

That's a loaded question,

both could be my saving grace.
Bm

I've known there'd be chance
D

in a bein' friend
G
D
Em

Won't be my last friend, just won't be

  • 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.
