    • Verse 1
    We 
    lay 
    on 
    our 
    backs 
    out 
    on 

    the front 
    yard 

    Holding 
    your 
    right 
    hand, 

    I say 
    life's 
    been 
    so 
    hard 

    The shade 
    of 
    the 
    tree 
    we 
    planted 

    It 
    grew 
    strong 
    with 
    roots 
    and 
    branches 

    But 
    it's 
    just 
    not 
    ours 
    any
    more 

    We 
    build 
    these 
    walls 
    high, 

    they 
    blend 
    in
    to 
    the 
    sky 

    Thick 
    skin 
    and 
    bones 
    de

    fend 
    us 
    from 
    outside 

    The 
    way 
    we 
    lost 
    it 
    all, 

    I 
    think 
    it 
    made 
    you 
    strong 

    But 
    I 
    don't 
    feel 
    that 
    any
    more 

    I 
    Verse 2
    feel nothing 
    at 
    all, 

    yeah 
    I trip 
    and 
    I 
    fall 

    Running 
    straight 
    into 
    walls 
    while 

    you're suffering 
    withdrawals 

    When 
    will 
    I 
    ever 
    get 
    a 
    better 
    hand? 

    I 
    am 
    losing 
    my 
    hope 
    and 

    it 
    hurts 
    in my 
    throat 

    Have 
    my 
    back 
    to 
    the coast 

    at 
    the 
    end 
    of 
    my 
    rope 

    Oh, 
    will 
    I 
    ever 
    be 
    a 
    better 
    man? 

    Verse 3
    Am 
    I meant 
    to 
    be 
    alone? 

    Verse 4

    Am 
    I meant 
    to 
    be 
    alone? 

    Verse 5

    We lay 
    on 
    our backs 
    on the 
    hood of my 
    car 

    Holding 
    my right 
    hand, 

    you point 
    out 
    the North 
    Star 

    Show 
    me 
    the way 
    ahead, 

    guide 
    me 
    with 
    light 
    I 
    said 

    Cause 
    I can't 
    see 
    straight 
    anymore 

    Everyone 
    left 
    me 
    all 
    at once 
    then 

    Honestly, 
    I 
    couldn't 
    even 
    blame 
    them 

    I've 
    been 
    a shitty 
    friend 

    I 
    don't 
    know 
    where 
    you 
    went 

    I just 
    can't 
    handle 
    any 
    more 

    Verse 6
    I 
    feel 
    nothing 
    at 
    all, 
    yeah I 
    trip 
    and I 
    fall 

    Running 
    straight 
    into 
    walls 

    while you're 
    suffering 
    withdrawals 

    When 
    will 
    I 
    ever 
    get 
    a better 
    hand? 

    I am 
    losing 
    my 
    hope 
    and it 

    hurts 
    in my 
    throat 

    Have my 
    back 
    to the 
    coast 

    at the 
    end 
    of my 
    rope 

    Oh, 
    will 
    I 
    ever 
    be 
    a 
    bet
    ter man? 

    Outro 1
    Am I 
    meant 
    to be 
    alone? 


    Am I 
    meant 
    to 
    be alone? 

    Am 
    I meant 
    to 
    be alone? 

    Am I 
    meant 
    to 
    be alone?

      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

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
