    • Verse 1
    I 

    stopped 
    into 
    a club 

    I thought 
    I'd 
    see 
    a show 

    Everyone 
    was 
    there 

    At least 
    everyone 
    I 
    know 

    Their 
    knickers 
    in 
    a knot 

    Their 
    hands 
    upon 
    their 
    heart 

    The 
    best 
    they'd 
    ever 
    seen 

    The 
    greatest 
    work 
    of 
    art 

    I wished 
    that 
    it 
    was 
    me 

    Verse 2
    It's 
    bleaker 
    than 
    you think 

    I'm 
    running 
    out 
    of 
    ink 

    Give 
    a 
    guy 
    a 
    break 

    This 
    is 
    what 
    it 
    takes 

    To drive 
    a 
    man 
    to 
    drink 

    Verse 3
    A 
    party 
    at 
    a friend's 

    Toronto's 
    coolest 
    scene 

    I 
    thought 
    I'd 
    bring 
    a tape 

    To show 
    them 
    where 
    I'd 
    been 

    And 
    listen 
    for 
    a while 

    The 
    lyrics 
    made 
    them smile 

    They 
    said 
    that 
    it 
    was 
    fine 

    Although 
    it's 
    not 
    the style 

    I said 
    it 
    wasn't 
    me 

    Once 
    upon 
    a 
    Verse 4
    time 

    I 
    couldn't 
    get 
    enough 

    Until 
    I made 
    it 
    big 

    And 
    that's 
    when 
    it 
    got 
    rough 

    Disappointed 
    now 

    Perhaps 
    a bit 
    sur
    prised 

    To 
    look 
    them 
    in 
    the face 

    And see 
    it 
    in 
    their 
    eyes 

    They 
    wish 
    it 
    wasn't 
    me 

    Verse 5
    It's 
    bleaker 
    than 
    you 
    think 

    I'm 
    running 
    out 
    of 
    ink 

    Give 
    a 
    guy 
    a 
    break 

    This 
    is 
    what it 
    takes 

    To drive 
    a man 
    to drink 

    Verse 6

    I 
    used 
    to 
    hold 
    you close 

    You 
    used 
    to 
    tell 
    me things 

    You 
    never 
    told 
    a soul 

    Until 
    you 
    heard 
    me sing 

    The details 
    of 
    your life 

    Condensed 
    into 
    a song 

    The neighbor 
    and 
    his 
    wife 

    Work 
    out 
    and 
    sing 
    along 

    And 
    you 
    can't 
    look 
    at 
    me 

    Verse 7
    It's 
    bleaker 
    than 
    you 
    think 

    I'm 
    running 
    out 
    of ink 

    Give 
    a 
    guy 
    a 
    break 

    This 
    is 
    what 
    it 
    takes 

    To drive 
    a 
    man 
    to 
    drink 

    Verse 8

    Could song 
    be 
    an 
    alibi 

    A 
    lyric 
    re
    placement 
    for 
    falling 
    in love 

    But 
    now 
    that 
    the 
    well 
    is 
    dry 

    I 
    can't 
    under
    stand 
    what 
    I've 
    been 

    singing 
    of 


    Verse 9
    Do 
    you 
    know 
    what 
    it 
    is 
    to 
    love? 

    To 
    really 

    love? 

    To 
    really 
    love. 

    Do I? 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 10

    I 
    cycled 
    by 
    your 
    house 

    I saw 
    you 
    on 
    the lawn 

    I see 
    you 
    all 
    the 
    time 

    Now 
    that 
    you 
    are 
    gone 

    I 
    tried 
    to 
    call 
    your 
    name 

    But 
    something 
    made 
    me stop 

    I call 
    you 
    once 
    a 
    day 

    Until 
    you 
    call 
    the cops 

    And 
    told 
    them 
    it 
    was 
    me 

    I filled 
    a plastic 
    Verse 11
    bag 

    With 
    everything 
    I 
    wrote 

    I 
    threw 
    it 
    off 
    a 
    bridge 

    And 
    thought 
    that 
    it 
    would 
    float. 

    The 
    water 
    made 
    it sink 

    The bag 
    was 
    bleeding 
    ink. 

    I 
    wished 
    that 
    I 
    could swim 

    I wished 
    that 
    I 
    could 
    drink 

    I wished 
    that 
    it 
    was 
    me. 

    Verse 12
    It's 
    bleaker 
    than 
    you 
    think 

    I'm 
    running 
    out 
    of 
    ink 

    Give 
    a 
    guy 
    a 
    break 

    This 
    is 
    what 
    it 
    takes 

    To drive 
    a man 
    to drink 

    I'm run
    ning 
    out 
    of 
    ink 

    Give 
    a 
    guy 
    a 
    break 

    This 
    is 
    what 
    it 
    takes 

    To drive 
    a man 
    to drink 

    To 
    drive 
    a 
    man 
    to 
    drink 

    To 
    drive 
    a 
    man 
    to drink

      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

      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 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.
