    Verse 1
    She 

    likes 
    to sleep 
    with 
    the 
    radio 
    on 

    So she 
    can 
    dream 
    of 
    her favorite 
    song 

    The 
    one 
    that no 
    one 
    has 
    ever 
    sung 

    since 
    she 
    was small 

    She'll never 
    know 
    that 
    she 
    made 
    it up 

    She 
    had 
    a soul 
    and 
    we 
    ate 
    it 
    up 

    Thrown 
    away 
    like 
    a pa
    per 
    cup 

    The mu
    sic 
    falls 

    The 
    only 
    flaw 
    in 
    her 
    detailed 
    plan 

    Is 
    where she 
    wins 
    back 

    the 
    love 
    of 
    her 
    man 

    Everyone 
    knows 
    that he's 

    never 
    coming 
    back 

    Verse 2

    He took 
    her heart 
    and 
    she 
    took 
    his 
    name 

    He 
    couldn't 
    stand 
    taking 
    all 
    the blame 

    He left 
    her only 
    with 
    guilt 
    and 
    shame 
    and 

    then 
    she 
    cracked 

    Verse 3

    Won't 
    it 
    be 
    dull 
    when 
    we 
    rid 
    ourselves 

    Of 
    all 
    these 
    demons 
    haunting 
    us 

    To 
    keep 
    us 
    company? 

    Verse 4

    In 
    the dream 
    re
    fuse 
    to have 

    She 
    falls 
    asleep 
    in 
    luke
    warm 
    bath 

    We're 
    left 
    to deal 
    with 
    the 

    af
    termath 
    again 

    On 
    behalf 
    of 
    hu
    manity 

    will fight 
    for 
    your 
    sanity 

    How 
    profound 
    such 
    pro
    fanity 

    can 
    be 

    Verse 5

    Won't 
    it 
    be 
    dull 
    when 
    we 
    rid 
    ourselves 

    Of 
    all 
    these 
    demons 
    haunting 
    us 

    To keep 
    us 
    company? 

    Won't 
    it 
    be 
    odd 
    to 
    be 
    happy 
    like 
    we 

    Always 
    thought 
    we're 
    sup

    posed 
    to feel 

    But never 
    seem 
    to 
    be? 


    Verse 6
    Near 
    where 
    I live 
    there's 
    a viaduct 

    Where 
    people 
    jump 
    when 

    they're 
    out 
    of luck 

    Raining 
    down 
    on 
    the cars 
    and 
    truck
    below 

    They've 
    put a 
    net 

    there 
    to catch 
    their 
    fall 

    Like 
    that'll 
    stop 
    anyone 
    at all 

    What 
    they don't 
    know 
    is 
    when 
    nature 
    calls, 

    you 
    go 

    They say 
    that Jesus 
    and 
    mental 
    health 

    Are 
    just 
    for those 
    who 
    can 
    help 
    them
    selves 

    But what 
    good 
    is that 
    when 

    you 
    live 
    in 
    hell 
    on 
    earth? 

    For 
    the 
    very 
    fear 
    that makes 
    you want 
    to die 

    Is 
    just 
    the same 
    as 
    what 

    keeps 
    you 
    alive 

    It's 
    way 
    more 
    trouble 
    than some 

    suicide 
    is 
    worth 

    Verse 7

    Won't 
    it 
    be 
    dull 
    when 
    we 
    rid 
    ourselves 

    Of 
    all 
    these 
    demons 
    haunting 
    us 

    To keep 
    us 
    company? 

    Won't 
    it 
    be 
    odd 
    to 
    be 
    happy 
    like 
    we 

    Always 
    thought 
    we're 
    sup

    posed 
    to feel 

    But never 
    seem 
    to 
    be? 


    Verse 8
    Hard 
    to 
    admit 
    I fought 
    the war 
    on 
    drugs 

    My 
    hands 
    were tied 
    and 
    the phone 

    was 
    bugged 

    Another 
    died 
    and 
    the world 

    just 
    shrugged 
    it off

      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

      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

      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 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.
