    Verse 1
    Oh, 

    my 
    head 

    Lately, 
    my 
    eyes 
    have 
    been bloodshot 
    red 

    I'm 
    looking 
    for 
    somewhere 
    to hide 

    Could 
    you 
    tell 
    me 
    where 

    I needed 
    to 
    go? 

    Verse 2
    Oh, 
    my 
    head 

    Lately, 
    all my 
    thoughts 
    are ar
    riving 
    dead 

    I 
    drift 
    where 
    the sea 
    meets 
    the sky 

    Could 
    you 
    tell 
    me 
    what 
    I 
    needed 
    to 
    know, 

    oh? 

    Verse 3
    Maybe 
    I 
    always 
    learn 
    things 
    the 
    hard 
    way 

    I 
    learn 
    best 
    from 
    my 
    mis
    takes 

    The 
    road 
    I 
    took 
    was 
    the 
    wrong 
    one 

    It 
    all 
    works 
    out 
    in 
    the long 
    run 

    Maybe 
    there's 
    no 
    such 

    thing 
    as 
    a 
    re
    wind 

    There's 
    no 
    way 
    to go 
    back 
    in 
    time 

    I 
    learn 
    best 
    from 
    the 
    replay 

    I 
    always 
    learn 
    things 
    the hard 

    way 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 4
    Words 
    were 
    said 

    Now 
    even 
    the pain 
    wants 
    peace 
    instead 

    I 
    bury 
    my 
    thoughts 
    in 
    the tide 

    Could 
    you 
    tell 
    me 
    where 
    I 

    needed 
    to 
    go? 

    Verse 5
    On 
    the 
    bed 

    Echoes 
    of 
    the truths 
    and 
    the lies 
    we 
    said 

    The 
    ocean, 
    the mirror 
    of the 
    sky 

    Tell 
    me 
    everything 
    I 
    needed 
    to 
    know 

    Verse 6

    Oh, 
    maybe 
    I 
    can't 
    keep 

    blaming 
    it 
    all 
    on 
    luck

    When 
    I 
    complain, 
    then 
    I self-destruct 

    May
    be 
    Maybe 
    it's 
    me 

    with 
    the problem
    s 

    Stuck 
    looking 
    at 
    you 
    trying 

    to solve 
    them 

    Maybe 
    there's 
    no 
    such 

    thing 
    as 
    a re
    wind 

    There's 
    no 
    way 
    to 
    go 
    back 
    in 
    time 

    I 
    learn 
    best 
    from 
    the 
    replay 

    I 
    learn 
    things 
    the hard 
    way 

    Verse 7
    'Cause 
    maybe 
    the 
    learning 

    comes 
    from 
    the mistake 

    There's 
    no 
    beauty 
    without 
    pain 

    No 
    one 
    said 
    it 
    would 
    be 
    easy 

    We 
    can't 
    undo 
    the 
    things 
    we 
    said 

    Even 
    if 
    I 
    could, 
    would 
    you 
    believe 
    me? 

    No 
    one 
    said 
    it 
    would 
    be 
    easy 

    Maybe 
    the song 
    we 
    sang 
    was 

    just 
    out 
    of 
    time 

    Maybe 
    we 
    could 
    give 
    it 
    one 
    more 
    try 

    One 
    more 
    try 

    Interlude 2
    Yeah, 
    yeah 


    Verse 8
    Oh, 
    maybe 
    the small 
    violin 

    and 
    the 
    tissue 

    Hoping 
    to 
    put 
    it 
    behind 

    me 
    and 
    kiss 
    you 

    Singing 
    along 
    to 
    the chorus 
    of 
    "Fix 
    You" 

    All 
    along 
    it 
    was 
    me 
    with 
    the 
    issues 

    Maybe 
    there's 
    no 
    such 
    thing 
    as 
    an 
    easy 
    fix 

    In 
    love 
    and 
    war, 
    in politic
    s 

    Maybe 
    it's 
    time 
    that 
    I 
    dealt 
    with 
    this 

    Finally, 
    love 
    takes 
    the 
    hard 

    way 

    Verse 9
    (Maybe there's 
    no such 
    thing) as 

    the free 
    way 

    (Maybe there's 
    no 
    such 
    thing) as 

    the free 
    way 

    (Maybe there's 
    no such 

    thing) as 
    a rewind 

    (Maybe there's 
    no 
    such 
    thing) I 
    know 

    why 
    you 
    walked 
    away 

    (Maybe there's 
    no 
    such 
    thing) as 

    a 
    quick 
    fix 

    (Maybe there's no 
    such thing) but 
    I 
    don't 

    wanna 
    live 
    like 
    this 

    (Maybe there's 
    no such 
    thing) I 

    always 
    learn 
    things 
    the 
    hard 
    way

      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 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.
