    • Verse 1
    I 
    wouldn't 
    kill 
    to 
    win 
    a war 

    I 
    don't 
    get 
    what 
    they do 
    it 
    for 

    It's 
    all so 
    terribly 
    vague 

    I see 
    the pictures 
    from 
    a thou

    sand 
    years 
    of battle 

    And 
    I 
    think 
    it's 
    such 
    a 
    bore 

    Verse 2
    I walk 
    New 
    Orleans 
    with 
    a knife 

    Like 
    Mackie 
    hidden 
    out 
    of sight 

    But 
    I'd 
    be 
    useless 
    if 
    they 
    jumped 

    I'm 
    really 
    not 
    the killing 
    type 

    Oh, 
    oh, 
    oh, 
    oh, 
    oh 

    Verse 3
    I'm not 
    the 
    killing 
    type 
    I'm 

    not 
    the 
    killing 
    type 

    I'm not, 
    I'm not 

    I'm not 
    the 
    killing 
    type, 
    I'm not 

    I've 
    got 
    a pic
    ture 
    of 
    your mum 
    Verse 4

    Before 
    the war 
    when she 
    was 
    young 

    She's 
    got 
    an 
    etching 
    to 
    her 
    right 

    I 
    think 
    it's 
    funny 
    that 

    she's 
    looking 
    to 
    the left 

    And 
    it's 
    her son 

    Verse 5
    I 
    wouldn't 
    kill 
    to 
    get 
    you back 

    And 
    I've 
    officially 
    been 
    asked 

    I couldn't 
    kill 
    to save 
    a life 

    I'd 
    rather 
    a die 
    a peaceful 

    piece 
    of 
    shit-bait 

    Shame-filled 
    coward 

    coward 

    coward 

    Thank
    s 

    Verse 6
    I'm 
    not 
    the killing 
    type 
    I'm not 

    the 
    killing 
    type 

    I'm 
    not, 
    I'm 
    not 

    I'm 
    not 
    the 
    killing 
    type, 
    I'm 
    not 

    But 
    I 
    would 
    kill 
    to 
    make 
    you 
    Verse 7
    feel 

    I don't 
    mean 
    kill 
    someone 
    for 
    real 

    I 
    couldn't 
    do 
    that, 
    it 
    is 
    wrong 

    But 
    I 
    can 
    say 
    it in 
    a song, 
    a song, 
    a song 

    And 
    I'm 
    saying 
    it 
    Verse 8
    now 

    I'm 
    saying 
    it 
    so 

    Even 
    if 
    you 
    never 
    hear 
    this song 

    Somebody 
    else 
    would 
    know 

    I'm 
    saying 
    it 
    now 

    I'm 
    saying 
    it 
    so 

    Even

    you never 
    hear 
    this 
    song

    else 
    will 
    know,

    good 
    it 
    feels 

    I 
    just 
    can't

    how 
    good it 
    feels

    stepped 
    on

    Verse 10
    bird 

    It 
    was 
    a mercy 
    killing 

    I couldn't 
    sleep 
    for 
    a 
    week 

    I kep
    t 
    feeling 
    its 
    breaking 
    bones 

    Verse 11
    I 
    heard 
    that 
    if 
    you see 
    a star 
    at night 

    And 
    the conditions 
    are 
    just 
    right 

    And you 
    are standing 
    on 
    a cliff 

    Then 
    you 
    can close 
    your 
    eyes 

    And make 
    a wish 
    and 
    take 
    a step 

    And change 
    somebody's 
    life

    inch 

    I 
    see

    I

      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.

      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.
