    Verse 1
    Every 

    night 
    I'm 
    lying 
    here 

    The 
    world 
    crashing 
    through 
    my 
    ears 

    always 
    hear 
    the same 

    damn 
    thing 

    "You can't 
    you're life 

    hanging 
    on 
    a string" 

    He's 
    always 
    saying, 
    "Stop 
    complaining 

    You 
    really can't 
    ever expect 
    too 
    much 

    Boy, 
    you were 
    born 
    with 

    the common 
    touch" 

    And 
    we 
    fall 
    Verse 2
    and 
    fall 
    and 
    fall 
    and fall 

    With 
    our 
    heads 
    soaked 
    up 
    in 
    alcohol 

    One 
    hand 
    on 
    a cigarette 

    swear 
    still 
    got 
    some good 

    moves 
    left 

    I've been 
    fifty-eight 
    since 

    since 
    I was 
    twenty-three 

    got 
    six
    ty-nine 
    problems 
    problems 

    but 
    one 
    ain't 
    me 

    And ser
    iously 
    don't give 
    a fuck

    If my 
    answer 
    isn't 
    good 
    enough 

    Verse 3
    Hey, 
    there, 
    tell 
    me man 

    What's 
    the 
    answer 
    to 
    this 

    riddle 
    then? 

    Is it heroin? 

    Or Jesus 
    Christ? 

    Big-ass 
    books? 

    books? 

    Or sleepless 
    nights? 

    I had a 
    few 
    of those 
    and 

    everyone 
    knows 

    That the 
    com
    mon 
    touch 

    ain't 
    worth 
    the price 

    As 
    we 
    fall 
    Verse 4
    and fall 
    and fall 
    and fall 

    With 
    our 
    heads 
    soaked 
    up 
    in 
    alcohol 

    Two 
    hands 
    on 
    our 
    Juliette 

    swear 
    I still 
    got 
    some good 

    moves 
    left 

    And if you 
    promise 
    that 
    you'll 
    stay 
    with me 

    swear 
    that I 
    will 
    always 
    see 

    Interlude 1
    The 
    best 
    of you 
    and me 


    Verse 5
    Hey, 
    now 
    tell 
    me 
    this 

    How these 
    days 
    and 
    nights 
    can coexist 

    mil
    lion 
    pieces 
    in my 
    mind 

    Every 
    damn 
    thing at 
    the exact 
    damn 
    time 

    It 
    always 
    seems 
    like 
    the same 
    damn 
    dream 

    My 
    legs 
    don't 
    work 
    and I 
    can't 
    sing 

    I swear 
    I don't feel 
    a god 
    damn 
    thing 

    As 
    we 
    fall 
    Verse 6
    and fall 
    and fall 
    and fall 

    With 
    our 
    heads fucked 
    up 
    on 
    alcohol 

    Two 
    hands 
    on 
    my 
    Juliette 

    swear, 
    baby 
    girl, 
    I'm not 
    done 
    yet 

    And if 
    you 
    promise 
    that 
    you'll 
    stay 
    with 
    me 

    swear 
    that 
    I will 
    always 
    see 

    Interlude 2
    The best 
    of you 
    and me 



    Verse 7
    And 
    when 
    wake 
    up 
    won
    der 

    where 
    everyone's 
    gone 

    And 
    just 
    can't 
    sleep 
    so 
    lay 

    there 
    until 
    the dawn 

    And 
    I wonder 
    if 
    god 
    knows 
    anything 

    Does 
    god 
    know 
    what's 
    going 
    on? 

    Verse 8

    'Cause 
    can't 
    be 
    alone 
    just 
    yet 

    And 
    you're the 
    only 
    good 

    thing 
    that I 
    got 
    left 

    I know 
    I got 
    these 
    problems 
    still 

    But 
    I swear 
    it's real 
    and I swear 
    I will 

    May
    be 
    we can't 
    ever 

    expect 
    too 
    much 

    But we 
    can 
    live 
    here 
    with 

    the common 
    touch 

    And we'll 
    all 
    fall 
    Verse 9
    and 
    fall 
    and fall 
    and fall 

    Get 
    all 
    fucked 
    up 
    on 
    alcohol 

    We're 
    going to have 
    a good 
    time 
    yet 

    Some 
    got 
    more, 
    but some 
    got 
    less 

    And if you 
    promise 
    that 
    you'll 
    stay 
    with 
    me 

    swear 
    that I 
    will 
    always 
    be 

    Something 
    you 
    can 
    believe! 

    Interlude 3




    Verse 10
    Yeah, 

    they say 
    that Jesus 
    saves 

    But 
    I couldn't 
    write 
    that 
    on his 
    grave 

    So 
    I snuck 
    his ashes 

    through the 
    gate 

    And I threw 
    them on 
    the 
    outside 
    lane 

    Where 
    we 
    watched 
    the horses 
    going 
    by 

    Hop
    ing 
    to keep 
    the 
    pick-four 
    alive 

    alive 

    I was 
    ten 
    years old, 
    he was 
    forty-five 

    Number 
    Number 
    nine 
    came 

    through 
    and we 
    high-fived 

    Verse 11
    know 
    it don't 
    amount 
    to much 

    But 
    that's 
    called 
    love 

    with the 
    common 
    touch 

    Verse 12
    lost 
    my shit 
    when I 
    heard 
    the call 

    Felt 
    buried 
    beneath 
    the weight 

    and 
    all 

    Twenty-five 
    tons 
    tons 
    fell 
    on my 
    chest 

    Every 
    hour, 
    every 
    breath 

    You tell 
    me 
    every 
    day 
    that 

    you 
    won't leave 

    I'm sorry 
    I put 
    this at 
    your 
    feet 

    But tell 
    me can't 
    you 
    see 

    Verse 13

    That 
    we 
    fall 
    and 
    fall 
    and 
    fall 
    and fall 

    We 
    meet 
    each oth
    er 
    at the 

    end 
    of it all 

    We wonder 
    where 
    all 
    the good 

    time's 
    gone 

    How we carried 
    something 
    so 
    long 

    We made 
    a little 
    something 

    that felt 
    like 
    home 

    So 
    we could 
    face 
    the night 
    to come 

    With 
    that 
    com
    mon 
    touch, 

    that 
    common 
    touch, 
    that 
    common 
    touch 

    Outro 1
    To 
    make 
    us feel 
    less 
    alone

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.

      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.
