    Verse 1
    We 
    get 
    to break 
    out 
    of prison 

    Make 
    love 
    to 
    our 
    best 

    friend's 
    wife 

    Have a beer 
    for breakfast 
    in 
    Boston 

    Drink 
    rum 
    in Jamaica 
    that night 

    Verse 2
    We 
    get to 
    tell 
    all 
    our secrets 

    In a code 
    no 
    one 
    understands 

    We 
    get to 
    shoot 
    all 
    the bad 
    guys 

    But never 
    get 
    blood 
    on our 
    hands 

    Verse 3
    We're 
    her
    oes, 

    we're schemers, 

    We're drunks 
    and we're 
    dreamers 

    We're 
    lovers 
    and some
    times 

    we're 
    fight
    ers 

    We're stu
    dents, 

    we're 
    teachers 

    We're the devil, 

    we're 
    preachers 

    We're true 
    love 
    but mostly 

    one 
    nighter

    We're 
    the 
    songwriters 

    Half the world 
    thinks 
    we're crazy 
    Verse 4

    The 
    other 
    half 
    wants 
    to be 
    us 

    And 
    they're 
    jealous 
    because 

    we get 
    to 
    hang 
    out 

    In 
    the back 
    of 
    some big 

    stars 
    tour 
    bus 

    Verse 5
    We're old 
    boots 
    and tee 

    shirts 
    and 
    blue jeans

    cables 
    and strings 
    and E 
    Chords 

    We 
    only 
    dress 
    up in 
    November 

    Verse 6
    When 
    they hand 
    out 
    some 
    writers 
    awards 

    We're 
    heroes, 

    we're 
    schemers, 

    We're drunk
    s and we're 

    dreamers 

    We're 
    lovers 
    and some
    times 

    we're 
    fight
    ers 

    We're 
    the 
    truth, 
    we're the 
    lies 

    We're 
    stupid, 
    we're 
    wise 

    We're true 
    love 
    but mostly 

    one 
    nighters 

    We're the 
    songwriters 

    Verse 7
    We ride 
    bridges, 

    we 
    cross 
    'em 
    and 
    burn 
    'em 

    Teach 
    lessons 
    but 
    don't 
    bother 

    to 
    learn 
    'em 

    Our mamas 
    don't 
    know 

    what 
    we're doing 

    Why 
    we stay 
    out 
    all night 
    long 

    I told 
    mine 
    I was 
    drug 
    dealer 

    She said 
    thank 
    god 
    you 

    ain't 
    writin' 
    songs 

    Verse 8
    We're 
    heroes, 
    we're 
    schemers, 

    We're 
    drunks 
    and 
    we're 
    dreamers 

    We're 
    lovers 
    and some
    times 

    we're 
    fighter

    We're

    • 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.
