Verse 1
D

Uh, honestly I like it better

when my back's to the wall

That's how I know they

can't stab it

Stay faded cause I'm jaded

and just a little bit jagged

Honestly never had shit,

that's why I'm prone to the bragging

Cause most of the time when

I want something
G

the world just says I can't have it

It's okay, I guess I'll figure it out

I didn't expect to live to 20 man,

I figured I'd drown

But ay, I'm here without a plan,

I guess I'll stick to this route

The quiet introvert
D

feels like a little bitch in a crowd

And if I die before I wake,
A

I pray the universe cares
D

I had a dream when I was young,
A

in it I fell down the stairs
D
A

And I'm still climbing back up,

just to say I did it
D

Middle fingers to the skeptics,
A
D

should've trusted my vision
G

I wonder, wait, am I destined to walk alone?

I take a hero's journey,

my destination unknown

I used to be organic,

my heart is more like a stone

When niggas call asking forgiveness,

I don't pick up the phone
D

Damn, don't let the
A
D
A

present hold you back
D
A

I left it dead,

like there's no gravity

Ah, baby, I know

Wait a minute, has this fallen?

Come back to me, come back to me

Don't come back to me, to me,
F#m
D

to me, to me, to me
F#m
D

Mic check, mic check
G

I wasn't born to work,

I wasn't born to be a king

I didn't choose to be alive
D

until I don't exist for free
G

Cathedrals and castles of sand
A
D

and testaments of greed

It seems my strokes
A

of luck are random
D

and I'm punished for good deeds

What is the worth of this soul?

What is the price to pay to be here

when they cry when I go?

All my work I rip, be treasured,

love to treat it as gold

Lavender, how it's seeming to me

There's more to see beyond

the tree

than sleeves, see, so I mean
G

A perfect portrait that I
D

chase with a brush
G

It's hard to start,
D

it's hard to tell when I'm done, yeah
G
D

My fingers tremble, I can't pick up the brush
G

I used to love, I used to say it is fun, yeah
D

End up beyond, I see it as such

Try committing,

hard to breathe when I run, yeah

I count my days and do it one by one

To live and die by the blade,
G

pen, mic, and a gun
Bm

Just have fun

  • 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.
