    Verse 1

    Something 

    kind 
    of 
    hit 
    me 
    today 

    looked 
    at you 
    and 
    wondered 
    if 
    you 

    saw 
    things 
    my 
    way 

    People 
    will 
    hold 
    us 
    to 
    blame 

    It 
    hit 
    me 
    today, 
    it 
    hit 
    me 
    today 

    Verse 2
    We're 
    taking 
    it 
    hard 
    all 
    the time 

    Why 
    don't 
    we pass 
    it 
    by? 

    Just 
    reply, 
    you've changed 
    your mind 

    We're fighting 
    with 
    the 

    eyes 
    of 
    the 
    blind 

    Taking 
    it 
    hard, 
    taking 
    it 
    hard 

    Verse 3
    Yet 
    now 

    We 
    feel 
    that 
    we are pa
    per, 

    choking 
    on 
    you nightly 

    They tell 
    me 
    "Son, 
    we want 
    you, 

    be 
    elusive, 
    but 
    don't walk 
    far" 

    For we're 
    breaking 
    in 
    the 
    new 
    boys, 

    deceive 
    your 
    next 
    of kin 

    For you're 
    dancing 
    where 
    the dog
    s decay, 

    de
    fecating ecstasy 

    You're just 
    an ally 
    of 
    the 
    leecher

    Locator 
    for 
    the vir
    gin 
    King, 

    but I 
    love 
    you 
    in your 
    fuck
    -me 
    pumps 

    pumps 

    And 
    your nimble 
    dress 
    that trails 

    Oh, 
    dress 
    yourself, 
    my 
    urch
    in one, 

    for 
    I hear 
    them 
    on 
    the rails 

    Because 
    of all 
    we've 
    seen, 

    because 
    of all 
    we've 
    said 

    We 
    are 
    the dead 

    Verse 4
    One 
    thing 
    kind 
    of 
    touched 
    me 
    today 

    looked 
    at 
    you 
    and 
    counted 
    all 

    the 
    times 
    we 
    had laid 

    Pressing 
    our 
    love 
    through 

    the night 

    Knowing 
    it's 
    right, 
    knowing 
    it's 
    right 

    Verse 5
    Now 
    I'm 
    hoping 
    some 
    one 
    will 
    care 

    Living 
    on 
    the 
    breath 
    of 
    hope 

    to 
    be shared 

    Trusting 
    on 
    the son
    s of 
    our 
    love 

    That 
    someone 
    will 
    care, 
    someone 
    will 
    care 

    Verse 6
    But 
    now 

    We're today's 
    scrambled 
    creatures, 

    locked 
    in tomorrow's 
    double 
    feature 

    Heaven's 
    on 
    the 
    pillow, 

    its si
    lence 
    competes 
    with 
    hell 

    It's 
    a twenty-
    four 
    hour 
    hour 
    ser
    vice, 

    guaran
    teed 
    to 
    make 
    you tell 

    And 
    the street
    s are 
    full 
    of press 
    men 

    Bent 
    on 
    getting 
    hung 
    and 
    bur
    ied 

    And the 
    legendary 
    cur
    tains 
    are drawn 

    'round 
    Baby 
    Bankrupt 

    Who sucks 
    you 
    while 

    you're sleeping 

    It's the 
    theater 
    of 
    finan
    ciers 

    Count 
    them, 
    fifty 
    'round 
    table 

    White 
    and 
    dressed 
    to 
    kill 

    Verse 7
    Oh 
    caress 
    yourself, 
    my 
    juicy 

    For my 
    hands 
    have 
    all but 
    withered 

    Oh 
    dress 
    yourself 
    my 
    urchin 
    one, 

    for I 
    hear 
    them 
    on 
    the stair

    Because 
    of all 
    we've 
    seen, 

    because 
    of all 
    we've said 

    We 
    are the 
    dead 

    We 
    are 
    the dead 

    We 
    are the 
    dead

    • 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.
