    Verse 1
    Why 
    do we 

    cry 
    when 
    you 
    know how 
    the story 
    ends? 

    How 
    can you 
    laugh 
    when 
    you 
    know 

    that 
    it hurts 
    your 
    friends? 

    We've 
    all 
    been 
    there 
    once 

    but 
    you never 
    left 

    This 
    is me 
    coming 
    back back 

    to 
    get 
    you 
    out 

    To say 
    goodbye 
    to make 
    amend

    I'm 
    not 
    leaving 
    this 
    place 

    Unless 
    I'm 
    leaving 
    with 
    you 

    You're 
    the 
    only 
    person 
    with 

    half 
    decent 
    heart 
    here 

    And 
    know 
    you 
    will 
    put 
    it 
    to 
    use 

    Until 
    it's 
    gone, 
    gone, 
    gone 

    Gone, 
    gone, 
    gone 

    Gone, 
    gone, 
    gone, 
    gone, 
    gone, 
    yeah 

    Verse 2

    Na, 
    na, 

    na 

    Verse 3

    And 
    you 
    close 
    your 
    eyes 
    for 
    the 
    big 
    sleep 

    hope 
    you think 
    of 
    me 

    Verse 4
    Na, 
    na, 
    na 

    Verse 5

    And 
    if 
    you 
    go, 
    I'll 
    be 
    gone 

    And 
    you'll 
    be 
    left 
    alone 
    to live 
    your 
    life, 

    as 
    you 
    please 

    But 
    someday 
    you'll 
    agree 
    that I 

    was 
    al
    ways 
    meant 
    for 
    you 

    You 
    were always 
    meant 
    for 
    me 
    and 
    you 
    will 

    see: 
    that 
    you're 
    im
    possible 


    You're 
    im
    possible 

    Interlude 1




    Verse 6
    Me 
    and 
    Mr. 
    Dylan 
    on 
    the 
    ride 
    home 

    We 
    had 
    heart 
    to 
    heart 
    about 
    life 

    But 
    neither 
    him 
    or 
    me 
    could 
    de
    cide 
    for 

    ourselves 
    if 
    we wanted 
    to 
    outlive 
    that 
    night 

    Like 
    two 
    children 
    on 
    the playground 

    of 
    the 
    unconfessed 
    souls 

    Aban
    doned 
    by 
    our mothers 

    and 
    our 
    lovers 
    and 
    our 
    foes 

    If 
    only 
    we 
    were brave 
    enough 

    to 
    live 
    the 
    lives 
    we 
    stole 

    What 
    wonderful 
    world 
    this 
    could 
    be! 

    Interlude 2



    Verse 7
    Na, 

    na, 
    na 

    Verse 8

    And 
    you 
    close 
    your 
    eyes 
    for 
    the 
    big 
    sleep 

    hope 
    you 
    think 
    of 
    me 

    Verse 9
    Na, 
    na, 
    na 

    Verse 10
    And 
    if 
    you 
    go, 
    I'll 
    be 
    gone 

    And 
    you'll 
    be 
    left 
    alone 
    to live 
    your 
    life, 

    as 
    you 
    please 

    But 
    someday 
    you'll 
    agree 
    that 

    was 
    always 
    meant 
    for 
    you 

    You 
    were always 
    meant 
    for 
    me 
    and 
    you 
    will 

    see: 
    that 
    you're 
    im
    possible 


    You're 
    im
    possible 

    Verse 11
    So 
    how 
    many 

    more 
    ex
    amples 
    until 
    we 
    break? 

    How 
    many 
    sacrifices 
    must 
    we 
    make? 

    Because 
    we've 
    all 
    been 

    there 
    once 
    be
    fore 

    And 
    it looks 
    like 
    we've 

    re
    turned 
    once 
    more 

    Is 
    this 
    the 
    beginning 
    or 
    the 
    end? 

    Verse 12
    The last 
    two 
    soldiers 
    on 

    the 
    battlefield 

    Survivors 
    of 
    the war 

    They 
    aim 
    at 
    one 
    another 
    while 

    their 
    mothers 
    beg 
    the 
    lord 

    "if 
    you're 
    listen
    ing, 
    I'm 
    missing 
    him 

    So 
    somehow 
    bring 
    him 
    home 

    How 
    did 
    it 
    come 
    to 
    this?" 

    So 
    the sol
    diers 
    lift 
    their rifles 

    They're 
    aiming 
    at 
    the 
    head 

    They 
    think 
    of 
    their 
    first 
    love 
    before 

    they take 
    their final 
    breaths 

    And 
    some 
    where 
    in 
    the dis
    tance 
    they 
    hear 
    something 
    someone 

    said: 
    "how 
    did 
    it 
    come 
    to 
    this?" 

    Interlude 3



    Verse 13
    And 
    as 
    you 
    close 
    your 
    eyes 

    for 
    the big 
    sleep 

    I hope 
    you think 
    of 
    me, 

    yeah

    • 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.
