    Verse 1
    'Cause 
    this world 

    swallows 
    souls 

    And when 
    the blues 
    unfold 

    It gets 
    cold 
    silence 
    burns 
    holes 

    You're going 
    mad 

    Perhaps 
    you always 
    were 

    But 
    when things 
    was 
    good you 

    just didn't 
    care 

    This 
    is called 
    irony 

    When 
    you most 
    need to 
    get up 

    you got 
    no energy 

    Time 
    and time 
    shit'll 
    happen 

    The 
    dark 
    shit's unwrapping 

    But 
    no-one's listening 
    listening 

    your mates 
    are laughing 

    Your 
    brethren's 
    fucking 
    and 

    then you start 
    hating 

    Your 
    stomach 
    starts 
    churning 
    and you 

    mind 
    starts 
    turning. 

    So smoke 
    another 
    draw 

    It won't 
    matter 
    no more 
    but the 

    next 
    day still 
    feels 
    sore 

    Rain 
    taps 
    on your 
    window 

    Always 
    did 
    tho 
    but you didn't 
    hear 

    it when 
    things 
    were so-so 

    You're 
    You're on 
    your own 
    now 

    Your 
    little zone 
    you were 
    born 
    alone and 

    believe 
    me you'll 
    die 
    alone 

    Weed 
    becomes 
    a chore 

    You want 
    the buzz 
    back 
    so you 

    follow the 
    others 
    onto smack 

    Verse 2
    Just 
    trying 
    to stay 
    positive 

    Just 
    trying 
    to stay 
    positive 

    Just 
    trying 
    to stay 
    positive 

    Just 
    trying 
    to stay 
    positive 

    Verse 3
    Feels 
    nice 
    and still 

    Good 
    thing about 
    brown 
    is 
    it always 
    will 

    It's 
    easy, 
    no-one 
    blames blames 
    you 

    It's 
    that world 
    out 

    there that's 
    fucked 
    you 

    You 
    know less 
    of a person 

    and if God 
    exists 

    He still 
    loves 
    you 

    Just 
    remember 
    that - the 
    more 
    you sink 

    the further 
    back 
    from 
    that brink 

    Maybe 
    you've lifetime 
    scars 
    and you 

    think tattoos 
    might be 
    more fitting 

    But 
    who's 
    picking? 

    Searching 
    for yourself 

    you find 
    demons 

    Try and 
    be 
    a freeman 
    and grasp 

    that 
    talisman 

    'Cause your 
    the same 
    as I 
    am 

    We all 
    need 
    our fellow 
    man 

    We all 
    need our 
    Samaritan. 

    Maybe 
    I'm better 
    looking 
    than you 
    tho 

    Maybe 
    I've got 
    more 
    dough - but 

    am I 
    happier... 
    no. 

    Get 
    the love 
    of a good 
    girl 
    and your 
    world will 

    be much 
    richer 
    than my 
    world 

    And 
    your happiness 
    will uncurl 

    Verse 4
    Just 
    trying 
    to stay 
    positive 

    Just 
    trying 
    to stay

    Just

    Verse 5
    Stop 
    dreaming 

    People who 
    say that 

    are blaspheming 

    They're 
    doing nine 
    to five 

    and 
    moaning 

    And they 
    don't want 
    you succeeding 

    when they've 
    blown 
    it 

    And you 
    idols 
    - who 
    are they? 

    They too 
    dreamt 
    about 
    their day 

    Positive 
    steps 
    will 
    see your 
    goals. 

    Whether 
    it's dollars 
    or control, 
    feel 
    the gold. 

    I 
    ain't helping 
    you climb 
    the 
    ladder 

    I'm 
    busy 
    climbing 
    mine. 

    That's 
    how it's been 
    since 

    the dawn 
    of time 

    If you reach 
    a cul-de-sac 

    The The 
    The world 
    turns 
    it's back 

    This 
    is you zone, 
    it's 
    like blackjack 

    He might 
    get 
    the ace 

    or the top 
    one 

    So organize 
    your two's 
    and three's 
    into 

    a run 
    then 
    you'll have 
    fucked 
    him son 

    And for 
    that you'll 
    be the 
    better 
    one 

    One last 
    thing 
    before 
    you go 
    though 

    When 
    you feel 
    better 
    tomorrow 

    you'll 
    be a hero 

    But 
    never 
    forget 
    today. 

    you could be 
    back 
    here 

    Things 
    can stray 

    What if 
    you see 
    me in 
    that window? 

    You 
    won't help 
    me I 
    know. 

    That's 
    cool, 

    just keep 
    walking 
    where 
    you go. 

    Carry 
    on 
    through the 
    estate, 

    stare 
    at the geezers 
    so they 
    know you 
    ain't lightweight 

    And go see 
    your mates 

    And when 
    they don't look 
    happy 

    Play them 
    this tape 

    Verse 6
    Just 
    trying 
    to stay 
    positive 

    Just 
    trying 
    to stay 
    positive 

    Just 
    trying 
    to stay 
    positive 

    Just 
    trying 
    to stay 
    positive 

    Verse 7
    I hope you 
    understand 
    me 

    Just 
    trying 
    to stay 
    positive 

    I ain't no 
    preaching 
    fucker 
    and I 

    ain't no 
    do-goody-goody either 

    either 

    either 

    This is about 
    when 
    shit 
    goes 
    pear-shaped 

    And 
    And if you 
    aren't 
    or ever 
    have 
    been at 
    rock bottom 

    then 
    good 
    luck to 
    you in the big 
    wide 
    world 

    But 
    remember 
    that one 
    day 
    shit 

    might 
    just start 
    crumbling 

    Your bird 
    might 
    fuck 
    off 
    or you might 

    loose 
    your job 

    It's when 
    that happens 
    that what 
    I'm talking 

    about 
    will feel 
    much 
    more 
    important 
    to you 

    So 
    if you ain't 
    feeling 
    it, 

    just be 
    thankful 
    that everything's 
    cool 
    in your 
    world 

    Respect 
    to 
    BC

      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.
