    Verse 1
    Well, 
    could tell 

    he'd 
    had 
    tough 
    life 

    By 
    the way 
    he sat 
    and 
    stared 

    And me, 
    I'd come 
    to push 
    and 
    shove 

    So 
    pulled 
    up 
    a chair 

    Verse 2
    We talked 
    of 
    roads 
    untraveled 

    We talked 
    of 
    love 
    un
    true 

    Of strings 
    that 
    come 
    unraveled 

    We 
    were kings 
    and 
    kindred 
    fools 

    And 
    just 
    when 
    I'd 
    hit 
    bottom 

    That 
    old 
    man 
    raised 
    his 
    glass 

    And said 
    at 
    least 
    we've 

    had 
    our 
    chances 

    There's 
    those 
    who 
    never 
    have 

    Verse 3
    So 
    here's 
    to 
    all 
    the sol
    diers 

    Who 
    have 
    ever 
    died 
    in 
    vain 

    The 
    insane 
    locked 
    up 
    in 
    themselves 

    The 
    homeless 
    down 
    on 
    Main 

    To 
    those 
    who stand 
    on 
    empty 
    shores 

    And spit 
    against 
    the 
    wind 

    And 
    those 
    who 
    wait 
    forever 

    For ships 
    that 
    don't 
    come 

    in 

    Verse 4

    He said 
    it's 
    only 
    life's 
    illusions 

    That 
    bring 
    us 
    to 
    this 
    bar 

    To pick 
    up 
    these 
    old 
    crutches 

    And 
    com
    pare 
    each 
    others 
    scars 

    'Cause 
    the things 
    we're 

    calling 
    heartache 

    Hell, 
    they're hardly 
    worth 
    our 
    time 

    We bitch 
    about 
    a dollar 

    When 
    there's 
    those 
    without 
    a dime 

    Verse 5
    As 
    he 
    ordered 
    one 
    last 
    round 

    He said 
    guess 
    we 
    can't 
    complain 

    God 
    made 
    life 
    a gamble 

    And 
    we're still 
    in 
    the game 

    Verse 6
    So 
    here's 
    to 
    all 
    the sol
    diers 

    Who 
    have 
    ever 
    died 
    in 
    vain 

    The 
    insane 
    locked 
    up 
    in 
    themselves 

    The 
    homeless 
    down 
    on 
    Main 

    To 
    those 
    who stand 
    on 
    empty 
    shores 

    And spit 
    against 
    the wind 

    And 
    those 
    who 
    wait 
    forever 

    For ships 
    that 
    don't 
    come 
    in 

    Verse 7
    And 
    those 
    who 
    wait 
    forever 

    For ships 
    that 
    don't 
    come 
    in

    • 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.
