    Verse 1
    The devil 
    ain't a legend, 
    the devil's 

    real 

    In the empty 
    way 
    he touched 

    me, where 
    I hardly 
    feel 

    In the empty 
    hole 
    inside 
    me, 

    the nothing 
    that'll 
    ride 
    me 

    Down 
    into 
    my grave, 
    it does 
    not heal 

    Noth
    ing 
    is as something, 

    it'll suck 
    you dry 

    As 
    the whisper 
    you 
    can hardly 

    hear 
    that tells 
    you why. 

    Verse 2

    They told 
    me "You 
    ain't got 
    no problems, 

    you're self-deceived" 

    These 
    These seeming 
    contradictions, 

    well 
    they make 
    believe 

    It 
    was 
    then 
    that I 
    decided 

    my life 
    was being 
    guided 

    By 
    a second-rate 
    dependence 

    dependence 
    on first-class 
    thieves 

    thieves 

    They told 
    me I 
    was breaking 
    through, 

    I was breaking 
    down 

    By the time 
    I learned 
    the difference 

    they 
    had long 
    left 
    town. 

    You know 
    that they 
    Verse 3
    ain't so 
    malicious, 

    they 
    ain't mean 

    They're 
    just vaguely 
    well-intentioned 

    with 
    with 
    no love 
    I've 
    seen 

    And it's 
    the empti
    ness 
    that kills 
    you, 

    cold comfort 
    that'll 
    fill 
    you 

    With 
    a sense 
    of dread 
    that maybe 

    things 
    are worse 
    than they 
    seem 

    They 
    don't tell 
    you nothing 

    you don't 
    already 
    know 

    They just 
    keep holding 
    out 
    the promise 

    but 
    they don't 
    let go 

    You know 
    they don't 
    let 
    go. 

    Interlude 1




    Well, 
    it 
    was hard 
    luck 
    and trouble, 
    Verse 4

    bad 
    times 
    too 

    I know 
    I had 
    'em coming, 

    but I 
    got 
    through 

    It was 
    advice 
    that 
    you gave 
    me 

    in a dream 
    that saved 
    me 

    You 
    said "Get 
    a new 
    life contract 
    that spells 
    out 
    your dues." 









    Took good 
    will to 
    find 
    it, 

    a clear conscience 
    to sign 
    it 

    Now 
    I dream 
    about 
    the good 
    times 
    and it 

    all comes 
    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.
