When they found you,

you were driven and hungry

G

You were playin' for your life then
D
Bm

You were livin' for the
A

chance to be heard
D

What they promised,
G

what they offered
A
G

Was more than you'd ever hoped for
D
Bm

To walk away, ya' know that
A

would've been absurd
Bm
G

And talk about absurdity, it was madness
A
D
G

It was everything in excess
D

It was too much, too many,
Bm
A

and too little time
D

It was faceless people in
Bm

jackets and ties
A

Who thought of you when they
G

made love to their wives
D
Bm

Somehow, it wasn't what you
A

had in mind
Verse 2

Tell 'em you're Takin' It Back

Put it behind you, start over,

today

Verse 3
Bm

D

There were parties and photos
Bm

and televised award shows
A
G

And covers of magazines
D

There was gold and platinum
Bm

and everyone was smiling
A

You were coming apart at the seems
D

There were jerk offs too numerous
G

to mention
A

When everybody shared the dream
G
D

But when it came time
Bm

to share the nightmare
A

They were conveniently nowhere

A
D

That's why ya' gotta be careful,

Take your time and think 'em over

Sometimes those wishes

just might come true

  • 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.
