    Verse 1
    They 
    say, 
    "The 

    good 
    die 
    young," 
    but 
    it 
    ain't 
    for 
    certain 

    been 
    good 
    all 
    day, 
    ain't 
    hurtin' 

    Not 
    in 
    any 
    way 

    I'm 
    too 
    old 
    to 
    die 
    young 

    Verse 2
    shouldn't 
    talk 
    too 
    loud 

    Bad 
    luck 
    is 
    preying 
    on 
    the proud 
    ones 

    There's 
    nothin' 
    like 
    ly

    ing 
    in 
    graveyard 

    To teach 
    you 
    to 
    hold 
    your 

    Interlude 1
    tongue 



    Verse 3
    They 
    say, 
    "The 
    Devil 
    was 
    an 

    angel 
    back 
    in 
    the 
    beginnin'" 

    So, 
    was 
    nobody's 

    pinnin' 
    any 
    hopes 
    on 
    me 

    ain't 
    sayin' 
    that 
    they 
    oughta 

    didn't 
    Verse 4
    wanna 
    change, 

    but 
    the 
    road 
    kept 
    slidin' 
    in 
    funny 
    way 

    And 
    kept 
    rid
    in' 
    on 
    it 
    anyway 

    Sometimes, 
    you 
    do 
    what 
    you 
    gotta 

    Verse 5
    What 
    they 
    say, 
    what 
    they 
    do 

    They'll 
    swear 
    it 
    is, 

    they'll 
    think 
    it's 
    true 

    When 
    they 
    think 
    it 
    all, 
    but 
    they ain't 
    willin' 

    If 
    they 
    can't 
    think 
    of 
    what 
    to 
    say, 

    they 
    talk 
    anyway 

    It's 
    all 
    cliché fast 
    food 
    for 
    the 
    brain, 

    Interlude 2
    but 
    not 
    too 
    fillin' 



    Verse 6
    They say, 
    "Time 
    and 
    tide 
    will 

    wait 
    for 
    no- 
    one" 

    The time 
    it 
    takes 
    one 
    tide 

    to 
    go 
    one 
    time 

    Around 
    the 
    world 
    would 

    leave 
    you 
    spin
    nin' 

    But 
    the 
    Verse 7
    race 
    is 
    on 
    between 
    the tide 

    An
    d then, 
    the 
    people 
    livin' 
    right 
    beside 
    it 

    No 
    one's 
    drownin' 
    yet, 

    but 
    they 
    ain't 
    win
    nin' 

    Verse 8
    If words 
    were 
    wisdom, 
    we'd 
    all 
    speak

    And 
    smarten 
    up 
    from 
    week 
    to 
    week 

    Just 
    sayin', 

    "Live 
    and 
    learn," 
    there's 
    nothin' 
    to 
    it 

    Friends 
    Verse 9
    in 
    need 
    are 
    the 
    friends 
    indeed 

    But 
    the 
    friends 
    who 
    think 

    of 
    what 
    we 
    need 

    They 
    hardly 
    talk 
    at 
    all, 
    they 
    just 
    do 
    it 

    They 
    hardly 
    talk 
    at 
    all, 
    they 
    just 
    do 
    it

    • 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.
