    Verse 1
    Where 
    do 
    we 

    go 
    now? 


    I'm 
    still 
    try
    ing 
    to 
    find 
    the 
    words 

    A 
    quarter 
    life
    time 
    on 

    As 
    if 
    a 
    pen 
    and 
    paper 
    could 
    restore 

    The 
    greatest 
    loss 
    I've 
    known 

    Every 
    out
    line 
    of 
    you 

    lingers 
    in 
    the 
    door 

    Every 
    cigarette 
    a silhouette 
    in 
    ash 

    Drawn 
    upon 
    the 
    floor 

    Re
    member 
    how 
    they 
    told 
    me 

    "Y
    ou're 
    too 
    young 
    to 

    un
    derstand 

    You 
    will 
    shift 
    just 
    like 
    the 
    weather 

    As 
    you 
    grow 
    into 
    a 
    man" 

    This 
    I 
    know 

    Verse 2

    My 
    life 
    has 
    flashed 
    be
    fore 
    my 
    eyes 

    And 
    the 
    days 
    all 
    seemed 

    to 
    pass 
    me 
    by 

    All 
    the 
    pain 
    I 
    earned 
    and 
    the 
    love 
    I 
    lost 

    Was 
    the 
    only 
    truth 

    This 
    all 
    will 
    someday 
    soon 
    return 
    to 
    dust 


    Re
    turn 
    to 
    dust 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    And 
    if 
    we 
    all 
    go 
    to 
    hell 

    I'll 
    find 
    some 
    peace 
    where 
    I 
    dwell 

    I 
    never 
    thought 
    there 
    was 
    more 

    to 
    this 
    than 
    met 
    the 
    eye 

    When 
    I 
    have 
    no 
    more 
    to 
    give 

    Surrender 
    my 
    right 
    to 
    live 

    We're 
    only 
    killing 
    time 
    'til 

    time 
    kills 
    us 
    and 
    we 

    Interlude 2

    De
    cay 
    Verse 4
    together 

    We're 
    not 
    built 
    to 
    live 
    forever

    Interlude 3


    Verse 5
    Content 
    to 
    shed 
    my 
    blissful 
    ignorance 

    No 
    fire, 
    no light, 
    an 
    insignificant 
    mis
    take

    I'll

      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 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.

      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.
