    Verse 1
    They say 
    you've 
    gotta 
    lose 

    couple 
    fights 
    to 
    win 

    It's 
    hard 
    to 
    tell 
    from 

    where 
    I'm sitting 

    They 
    say 
    that 
    this 
    is 
    where 
    the fun 
    begins 

    guess 
    it's 
    time 
    that 
    was 

    quitting 

    Verse 2

    A slight 
    figure 
    of speech 

    cut 
    my 
    chest 
    wide 
    open 

    They 
    come 
    and 
    watch 
    us 
    bleed 

    Is 
    it 
    art 
    like 
    was 
    hoping 
    now? 

    Verse 3

    They 
    said 
    "I 
    hope 
    that 

    you 
    will 
    never 
    change" 

    went 
    and 
    cut 
    my 
    hair 

    They say 
    "Don't 
    take 
    your 

    business 
    to 
    the 
    big 
    time" 

    bought 
    us 
    tickets 
    there, 
    oh 

    Verse 4

    A slight 
    figure 
    of speech 

    cut 
    my 
    chest 
    wide 
    open 

    They 
    come 
    and 
    watch 
    us 
    bleed 

    Is 
    it 
    art 
    like 
    was 
    hoping 
    now? 

    Verse 5

    What 
    did 
    you expect 

    And what 
    did 
    you for
    get 

    That to 
    live 
    you 
    let 
    go of 
    me 

    with each 
    step 

    It becomes 
    a pro
    gression 
    won't 

    let regret 
    mani
    fest 

    To aggression 

    Are 
    you 
    to as
    sess 
    what 
    I've been? 

    What 
    I am? 
    Or be
    come? 

    Did 
    you 
    stop 
    to 
    accept 

    how pathetically 
    dum

    It can 
    be 
    to 

    At
    tack 
    those 
    around 
    'cause 
    you're 

    True 
    to color, 
    town, 

    a time, 
    or 
    place? 

    It's 
    not 
    you, 
    it's not 
    mine 

    And 
    be
    sides 
    it is 
    gone 

    And you 
    never 
    will 
    find 
    it again 

    But I 
    don't 
    want 
    to fight 

    I just 
    ask 
    let 
    me be 

    I won't 
    give 
    the 
    chance 

    to be 
    my 
    enemy 

    So go 
    home 

    Think 
    it through 

    Verse 6
    jet 
    plane 
    and 
    big 
    idea 

    jump 
    over 
    the sea 

    What 
    if's 
    hot 
    on 
    my 
    trail 

    But 
    they 
    can
    't 
    catch 
    me, 
    no 

    Verse 7

    A slight 
    figure 
    of speech 

    cut 
    my 
    chest 
    wide 
    open 

    They 
    come 
    and 
    watch 
    us 
    bleed 

    Is 
    it 
    art 
    like 
    was 
    hoping 
    now?

    • 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.
