N/A
Verse 1
Em

I hate this beat, cuz it reminds me

of the night you took the pills.

Now you're taking risks that might take your

life & it's like: now i feel

So selfish for the drug

abuse & all the death wishes.
Am

Didn't even get to spend the day

with you on Christmas.
Bm
D

But hey, that's life.
Em

& people get separated-

Not intentionally,
Am

but my family's torn apart & i hate it.

Life is so sacred. Love you like the sky loves the
Bm
D
Em

stars, you can make

it!
Am

Take this world,
Bm
D

you can hold it in your palms.
Em


Can't be with you everyday so i'mma

say it in a song.
Am

I love you & i wish that i could take
Bm
D
Em

your pain away.

I think about you every night,

i think about you every day

& I don't call cuz it hurts & that's how
Am

i deal with problems-
Bm

Act like they don't exist & the universe will
F#m
Bm

D
Em


solve em.

& That's why i understand exactly
Am

what you're going through.
Bm
D

I know you cut hella
Em

deep, but

to sleep with the truths

That are hard to accept only make you
Am

that stronger!

Living in denial ain't an option any longer.
Bm
F#m

Life
Bm
D
Em

is so amazing, hoping

one day you can see it.

Yo, i used to have your same mind

state & now i'm heated
Am
Bm

That the world is so cold
D
Em

Am

that it turns our hearts to ice.
Bm

& I know i'm not the best at giving
D
Em

out

advice

But i gotta let you know how i'm feeling

cuz i care

& If you left before me, the pain i

couldn't bare.
Am

Cuz you - 1 of the people

i love most on this planet
Bm
D

& You - 1 of the people that i've
Em

been taking for granted.

It's sad & i'm sorry.

This was a wake up call
Am

Not only for yourself but for the

rest of us all.

& I ain't gonna lie, i'm
Bm

scared, you got me worried.
D
Em


Life passes so fast,

why we living in a hurry
Am

For vision that's blurry

& temporary numbness?
Bm
D

It's no wonder we can't grasp
Em

reality. It's fun when

The problems go away

& the depression's deterred.
Am

But then you coming down feeling, feeling...

what's the word?
Bm
F#m

Worthless.
Bm
D
Em

Like you're

on the Earth with no purpose.

Like you really don't deserve this.

Hold up, let me reword this.

When i'm sober, & it's over

& i'm older, god damn it, i feel like dying.

But, under no stress, with the
Am

coke breath, & the cold sweats,
Bm
D

Sometimes i still feel
Em

like dying.

You gotta live life to find

your purpose.

You gotta work hard & when it comes, you gon

be like, "i deserve this! "

So keep your head high, this too shall

pass.
Am

& In the morning when you get
Bm
D

up into school & class
Em

Learn everything you can & utilize the

knowledge.

So f***n proud of you that you going

to college.

You deserve the best so work

& you'll receive it.

Anything imaginable is possible,

believe it!
Am
Bm

So keep your head up
D

Em

cuz nobody's gonna do it for you.
Am

Your family, we love you, accept

you, adore you.
Bm

Always in my thoughts,

in my heart, on my mind.
D

Promise everything's gonna get better,
Em

you just gotta give it time.

  • 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.
