    Verse 1
    Never 
    give 
    an 
    inch 

    -that's 
    what 
    I 
    say, 
    son. 

    When 
    it's too 
    tough 
    for 
    everybody 
    else, 

    Hell, 
    it's 
    just 
    right 
    for 
    me. 

    Now 
    my 
    lips 
    are 
    bleeding 

    From 
    the selfish 
    things 
    that 
    I've 
    done, 

    And 
    my 
    heart: it 
    lies 
    at 

    the bottom 
    of 
    the 
    ocean. 

    Sometimes 
    a great 
    no
    tion... 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    Wanted 
    to 
    make 
    love 
    to 
    my 
    girl 

    In the 
    back
    seat 
    of 
    my 
    car. 

    So, 
    I 
    took 
    her to 
    the 
    drive- 

    in 
    picture 
    show. 

    So, 
    I 
    filled 
    her 
    up 
    with 

    Lies 
    and 
    a 
    strong 
    love 
    potion, 

    And 
    I'm 
    sittin' 
    here, 

    watching 
    the 
    movie 
    alone. 

    Sometimes 
    a great 
    no
    tion... 

    Interlude 2



    Verse 3

    Sometimes 
    the best 
    plans 

    Have 
    been known 
    to 
    go 
    astray. 

    So, 
    you 
    better 
    put 
    your 
    seat
    belt on. 

    Just 
    like 
    your 
    worst 
    headache, 

    Well, 
    a 
    bad 
    day 
    don't 
    go 
    away. 

    And, 
    you 
    hit 
    the ground 
    running 

    against 
    your 
    emo
    tions. 

    Sometimes 
    a great 

    notion... 

    Sometimes 

    a 
    great 
    notion...

    • 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.”
