Devil drew you in,

Didn't want the others to

ever have to know

That you were getting hooked on up up up

And all you had to do was cut cut cut

You carved

a special place for your pain

you every night

You closed your eyes and
G

wished it all away

Until you disappeared

under the knife

Verse 6
Dm

F
Am

Listen- I know it's simpli
F

fied from the other side
Dm
G
Dm

It's easy to gloss over all the
F

messy reasons why
Am
F

And it's easy to forget

where you've been
G

I guess that's what the scars are for,
Dm

huh?
F
Am
F

When we were 15 we wouldn't

dare let that shit be seen
G

But now it seems
Dm

mutalation's gone mainstream
Am

I see you at my shows,
F

scarred up from head to toe
G

Like there's no point even
Dm

trying not to let it show
Am

Cause we all know,
F

emo kids like to hurt themselves
G

Too many feelings and
Dm

not enough self control
Am

And I mean, does this mess
F

any of the rest of you
G
Dm

It's an epidemic and we're cool with it,

don't question it
Am

But it bothers me,
F

our scars are currency by which we're measured
G

Like let the record show who let it
Dm

slip and who held it together
Am

Cutters and burners and
F

honorable mentions
G

Posers who still cut themselves

up for the attention
Am
I don't
Verse 7
F

care your intentions,
G

I just want you to know
Am

My self-hatred never never took

me where I wanted to go
F

And at the end of the day,
G

you know I still had to face
Am

That I can pick at the pain,

but can't cut it away
F

And you know what else I can't do is
G

give you ten good reasons not to
Am

I've racked my brain for clever sayings

of all the things you ought to do
F

But you know,
G

I think if there was something I could say
Am

They'd have thrown it on a brochure-

and sent you on your way
F

So I'll keep doing what I always do: drag my
Am

heart to the piano and make it sing for you
G
Am

I'll keep doing what I always do: drag my heart to the piano and let it sing

  • 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.
