    Verse 1

    My 
    friend 
    has 
    problems 

    with 
    winter 
    and 
    autumn 

    They 
    give 
    him 
    prescriptions 

    and 
    shine 
    bright 
    lights 
    on 
    him 

    They 
    say 
    it's 
    genetic, 

    they 
    say 
    he 
    can't 
    help 
    it, 

    they 
    say 
    you 
    can 
    catch 
    it 

    but 
    sometimes 
    you're 
    born 
    with 
    it 

    Verse 2
    My 
    friend 
    des
    pite 
    he 
    gets 
    shakes 
    in 
    the 
    night 

    and 
    they 
    say 
    that 
    there's 
    no 
    way 

    that 
    they 
    could 
    have 
    caught 
    it 
    in 
    time 

    takes 
    his 
    toll 
    on 
    him 

    It 
    is 
    tra
    ditional 

    It 
    is 
    in
    herited 

    Predispositional 

    Pre-chorus 1
    All 
    day 
    I've 
    been 
    wondering 

    what 
    is 
    inside 
    of 
    me, 
    who 
    can 
    blame 
    for 
    it? 

    say 
    it 
    runs 
    in 
    the 
    Chorus 1
    family 

    This 
    famine 
    that 
    carries 
    me 

    to 
    such 
    great 
    lengths 
    to 
    open 
    my 
    legs 

    Up 
    to 
    anyone 
    who'll 
    have 
    me 

    It 
    runs 
    in 
    the 
    family, 

    come 
    by 
    it 
    honestly, 

    do 
    what 
    you 
    want 

    Interlude 1
    'Cause 
    who 
    knows 
    it 
    might 

    (fill 
    me 
    up) 

    Fill 
    me 
    up 

    Verse 3
    My 
    friend's 
    depressed 

    she's 
    wreck, 
    she's 
    mess 

    They've 
    done 
    all 
    sorts 
    of 
    tests 

    and 
    they 
    guess 
    it 
    has 
    something 

    to 
    do 
    with 
    her 
    grandmother's 

    grandfather's 
    grandmother 

    Civil 
    war 
    soldiers 

    who 
    badly 
    infected 
    her

    My

    maladies 
    rickets 
    and

    that 
    she 
    dates 
    back 
    to 
    the 
    17th 
    century 

    Somehow 
    she 
    manages 
    in 
    her 
    misery 

    Strips 
    in 
    the 
    city 

    and 
    shares 
    all 
    her 
    best 
    tricks 
    with 

    Verse 5
    Me? 
    well, 
    I'm 
    well 
    well 
    mean 
    I'm 
    in 
    hell 

    well 
    still 
    have 
    my 
    health 

    at 
    least 
    that's 
    what 
    they 
    tell 
    me 

    If 
    wellness 
    is 
    this 

    what 
    in 
    hells 
    name 
    is 
    sickness? 

    But 
    business 
    is 
    business 
    and 
    business 

    Chorus 2
    Runs 
    in 
    the 
    family 

    We 
    tend 
    to 
    bruise 
    easily 

    Bad 
    in 
    the 
    blood 

    I'm 
    telling

    and 
    my 
    family

    wonderful 
    folks, 

    but 
    don't 
    get 
    too 
    close 
    to 
    me 
    cause 
    you 
    might 

    Interlude 2
    (knock 
    me 
    up) 

    Knock 
    me 
    up 

    Verse 6
    Mary 
    have 
    mercy 
    now 
    look 
    what 
    I've 
    done 

    but 
    don't 
    blame 
    me 
    because 
    can't 
    help 

    where 
    come 
    from 

    And 
    running 
    is 
    something 

    that 
    we've 
    always 
    done 
    well 

    and 
    mostly 
    can't 
    even 

    tell 
    what 
    I'm 
    running 
    from 

    Pre-chorus 2
    Run 
    from 
    their 
    pity, 
    from 
    responsibility 

    Run 
    from 
    the 
    country 
    and 
    run 
    from 
    the 
    city 

    can 
    run 
    from 
    the 
    law, 
    can 
    run 
    from 
    myself 

    can 
    run 
    from 
    my 
    life, 
    can 
    run 
    into 
    debt 

    can 
    run 
    from 
    it 
    all, 
    can 
    run 
    til 
    I'm 
    gone 

    can 
    run 
    for 
    the 
    office 
    and 
    run 
    for 
    my 
    cause 

    can 
    run 
    using 
    every 
    last 
    ounce 
    of 
    energy 

    cannot, 
    cannot 

    cannot 
    run 
    from 
    my 
    Chorus 3
    family 

    They're 
    hiding 
    in
    side 
    of 
    me 

    Corpses 
    on 
    ice 

    come 
    in 
    if 
    you'd 
    like 
    but 
    don't 
    tell 
    my 
    family 

    They'd 
    never 
    for
    give 
    me 

    They'd 
    say 
    that 
    I'm 
    crazy 

    But 
    they 
    would 
    say 
    anything 
    if 
    it 
    would

    me 
    up) 

    Shut

    up

    • 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.
