    to 
    ex
    plore 

    Gave 
    him 
    a pair 
    of hands 
    to 
    des

    Any

    Then just

    a bull 
    in 
    a china 
    shop 

    Everything

    down 

    God

    the 
    idiot 
    boy

    That 
    he filled 
    the night 
    with dreams 

    Til 
    dusty 
    sun
    light 
    beams 

    Danced 
    upon 
    the floor 

    Verse 4
    Gave him 
    a solo 
    in 
    the choir 

    Where

    his 
    voice 
    was 
    for 

    Verse 5
    God 
    so 
    loved 
    the idiot 
    world 

    He gave

    his only 
    son 

    to kick 
    around 

    That 
    was 
    long 
    ago 
    in 
    another 
    town 

    (It could 
    use 
    a good 
    laugh 

    now) 

    God 
    so 
    loved 
    the 
    idiot 
    world 
    Verse 6


    Gave him 
    a

    of 
    wild 
    desire 

    Were all 
    his voice 
    was 
    for

    God 
    so 
    loved 
    the idiot 
    boy 

    He gave 
    him 
    coffee 
    grounds 

    in 
    a paper 
    cup 

    And a 
    reason 
    everyday 
    to 

    keep 
    getting 
    up

    In 
    a world 
    that drags 
    you down 

    God 
    so 
    Verse 8
    loved 

    the 
    idiot 
    boy

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
