    Verse 1
    never 
    wanted 
    to 
    be 

    better 
    than 
    my 
    friends 

    just 
    wanted 
    to 
    prove 
    wrong 

    the 
    people 
    in 
    my 
    head 

    The 
    ones 
    who 
    told 
    me 

    I'd 
    be 
    better 
    off 
    dead 

    The 
    ones 
    who 
    told 
    me 

    that 
    would 
    never 
    win 

    When 
    delivered 
    newspapers 

    they 
    said 
    was 
    too 
    slow 

    When 
    was 
    bar
    ista 

    they 
    said 
    made 
    lousy 
    foam 

    When 
    worked 
    in 
    retail 

    they 
    said 
    was 
    slob 

    Much 
    too 
    dumb 
    for 
    school 

    and 
    much 
    too 
    lazy 
    for 
    job 

    Verse 2
    So 
    rode 
    my 
    bike 
    like 
    lightning 

    And 
    made 
    capuc
    cinos 

    that 
    would 
    make 
    the 
    angels 
    sing 

    Took 
    two 
    showers 
    day 

    and 
    dressed 
    up 
    like 
    princess 

    Shook 
    my 
    fist 
    in 
    my 
    own 
    face 

    and 
    said 
    "I'll 
    show 
    you 
    who's 
    the 
    best" 

    wrote 
    the 
    kinds 
    of 
    papers 

    teachers 
    hang 
    up 
    on 
    their 
    walls 

    was 
    em
    ployee 
    of 
    the 
    month 

    at 
    seven 
    different 
    shopping 
    malls 

    And 
    one 
    time 
    playing 
    football 

    pulled 
    the 
    tendons 
    in 
    my 
    leg 

    To 
    prove 
    that 
    was 
    tough 

    hopped 
    on 
    one 
    foot 

    Interlude 1
    And 
    finished 
    up 
    the 

    (game) 


    Verse 3
    thought 
    if 
    suc
    ceeded 

    I'd 
    be 
    happy 
    and 
    they'd 
    go 
    away 

    But 
    first 
    thing 
    every 
    morning 

    I'd 
    still 
    wake 
    up 
    and 
    I'd 
    hear 
    them 
    say 

    "You're 
    fat, 
    ugly, 
    and 
    stupid, 

    you 
    should 
    really 
    be 
    a
    shamed 

    No 
    one 
    will 
    ever 
    like 
    you 

    you're 
    not 
    good 
    at 
    any
    thing" 

    Bridge 1
    And 
    sometimes 
    I'd 
    rise 
    to 
    the 
    challenge 

    But 
    other 
    times 
    I'd 
    feel 
    so 
    bad 

    that 
    could 
    not 
    get 
    out 
    of 
    bed 

    And 
    on 
    the 
    days 
    stayed 
    in 
    bed 

    sang 
    and 
    sang 
    and 
    sang 

    A
    bout 
    how 
    crappy 
    I  
    felt, 

    not 
    realizing 
    how 
    many 
    other 

    Interlude 2
    people 
    would 
    relate 





    Verse 4
    Now 
    people 
    send 
    me 
    emails 
    that 
    say 

    thanks 
    for 
    saying 
    the 
    things 

    they 
    didn't 
    know 
    how 
    to 
    say 

    And 
    the 
    people 
    in 
    my 
    head 
    still 

    visit 
    me 
    some
    times 

    And 
    they 
    bring 
    all 
    of 
    their 
    friends 

    but 
    don't 
    mind 

    play 
    my 
    gui
    tar 
    like 
    lightning 

    When 
    sing 
    like 
    it 

    when 
    you 
    sing 
    too 
    loud 
    and 
    clear 

    Different 
    voices 
    different 
    tones 

    all 
    sayin' 
    "yeah, 
    we're 
    not 
    alone" 

    got 
    good 
    at 
    feeling 
    bad 

    and 
    that's 
    why 
    I'm 
    still 
    here 

    got 
    good 
    at 
    feeling 
    bad 

    and 
    that's 
    why 
    I'm 
    still 
    here 

    got 
    good 
    at 
    feeling 
    bad 

    and 
    that's 
    why 
    I'm 
    still

    • 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.
