    Verse 1

    You 
    don't have 
    to be 
    rich 

    don't have 
    to be 
    drunk 
    in a 
    ditch 

    You don't 
    have to 
    be the 
    top 
    of your 
    class 

    I don't 
    have 
    to have 
    wavers 
    of 
    brass 

    Verse 2
    You 
    don't have 
    to be 
    cute 

    don't have 
    to look 
    good 
    in a suit 

    You 
    don't have 
    to have 
    dog 
    in his 
    race 

    I don't 
    have to 
    have 
    an egg 
    on my 
    face 

    Verse 3
    The 
    out
    sider 
    is 
    watching 
    your 
    back 

    The 
    out
    sider 
    cut me 
    some 
    slack 

    The 
    out
    sider 
    just 
    little 
    off 
    keel 

    The 
    out
    sider 
    is 
    something 
    you 

    Interlude 1
    feel 



    I don't 
    have 
    to be straight 
    Verse 4

    You don't 
    have to 
    be 
    something 
    hate 

    I don't 
    have to 
    be 
    white 
    as a 
    ghost 

    You 
    don't have 
    to be 
    dum
    as a post 

    Verse 5
    I don't 
    have to 
    be 
    hip 

    You don't 
    have 
    to start 
    los
    in' 
    your 
    grip 

    don't have 
    to be 
    right 
    if you're wrong 

    You don't 
    have to 
    be 
    weak 
    if I'm 
    strong 

    Verse 6
    The 
    out
    sider 
    like 

    coat 
    when you're 
    cold 

    The 
    out
    sider 
    like 

    friend when 
    you're 
    old 

    The 
    out
    sider 
    a little 
    devil 
    may care 

    The 
    out
    sider 
    it's just something 
    that's 
    there 

    Interlude 2




    You don't 
    wanna 
    be 
    saint 
    Verse 7

    I don't 
    wanna 
    be 
    something 
    ain't 

    First 
    you get 
    a little 
    long 
    in the 
    tooth 

    Next 
    you're tryin' 
    to find 

    fountain 
    of 
    youth 

    Verse 8
    It's 
    a pain 
    in the but

    But 
    that's 
    the trouble 

    when you're 
    stuck 
    in a 
    rut 

    We don't 
    have to 
    find 
    permanent 
    bliss 

    But we've 
    got to 
    do 
    bet
    ter 
    than 
    this 

    Verse 9
    The 
    out
    sider 
    like 

    stone 
    you don't 
    throw 

    The 
    out
    sider 
    like 
    a bomb 

    you don't 
    blow 

    The 
    out
    sider 
    like 

    mountain 
    don't 
    move 

    The 
    out
    sider 
    you've got 
    nothin' 
    to prove

    • 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.
