    Verse 1
    broke 
    free 
    on 
    Saturday 
    morning 

    put 
    the 
    pedal 
    to 
    the 
    floor 

    Headed 
    north 
    on 
    Mills 
    Avenue 

    And 
    listened 
    to 
    the 
    engine 
    roar 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 2
    My 
    bro
    ken 
    house 
    behind 
    me 

    and 
    good 
    things 
    ahead 

    girl 
    named 
    Cathy 
    wants 
    little 
    of 
    my 
    time 

    Six 
    cylinders 
    underneath 
    the 
    hood 

    crashing 
    and 
    kicking 

    Aha! 
    Listen 
    to 
    the 
    engine 
    whine 

    Chorus 1
    am 
    gonna 
    make 
    it 
    through 
    this 
    year 

    if 
    it 
    kills 
    me 

    am 
    gonna 
    make 
    it 
    through 
    this 
    year 

    if 
    it 
    kills 
    me 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 3
    played 
    video 
    games 
    in 
    drunken 
    haze 

    was 
    seventeen 
    years 
    young 

    Hurt 
    my 
    knuckles 
    punching 
    the 
    ma
    chines 

    The 
    taste 
    of 
    Scotch 
    rich 
    on 
    my 
    tongue 

    Interlude 3


    Verse 4
    And 
    then 
    Cathy 
    showed 
    up 
    and 
    we 
    hung 
    out 

    Trading 
    swigs 
    from 
    bottle 
    all 

    bitter 
    and 
    clean 

    Locking 
    eyes, 
    holding 
    hands 

    Twin 
    high 
    maintenance 
    ma
    chines 

    Chorus 2
    am 
    gonna 
    make 
    it 

    through 
    this 
    year 
    if 
    it 
    kills 
    me 

    am 
    gonna 
    make 
    it 

    through 
    this 
    year 
    if 
    it 
    kills 
    me 

    Bridge 1
    drove 
    home 
    in 
    the 
    California 
    dusk 

    could 
    feel 
    the 
    alcohol 
    inside 
    of 
    me 
    hum 

    Pictured 
    the 
    look 
    on 
    my 
    stepfather's 
    face 

    Ready 
    for 
    the 
    bad 
    things 
    to 
    come 

    Verse 5
    downshift
    ed 
    as 
    pulled 
    into 
    the 
    driveway 

    The 
    motor 
    screaming 
    out 
    stuck 
    in 

    second 
    gear 

    The 
    scene 
    ends 
    badly 

    as 
    you 
    might 
    imagine 

    In 
    cavalcade 
    of 
    anger 
    and 
    fear 

    There 
    will 
    be 
    feasting 
    and 
    dancing 

    in 
    Jerusalem 
    next 
    year 

    Chorus 3
    am 
    gonna 
    make 
    it 

    through 
    this 
    year 
    if 
    it 
    kills 
    me 

    am 
    gonna 
    make 
    it 

    through 
    this 
    year 
    if 
    it 
    kills 
    me

    • 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.
