    Verse 1
    Lost 
    the confidence 

    to 
    write 
    a song, 

    So 
    I 
    found 
    three sim
    ple 
    chord
    s 

    And 
    held 
    them together 

    with my 
    weak 
    voice 

    On an 
    out 
    of 
    tun
    e 
    guitar 

    My 
    father 
    gave 
    to 
    me. 

    And may 
    Verse 2
    Elvis 
    turn 
    in 
    his 
    grave 

    And 
    Les 
    Paul 
    kiss 
    my 
    dirty, 

    calloused 
    fingers 

    And 
    may 
    the likes 
    of this 
    song 
    never 
    make 

    One 
    fucking 
    dollar, 

    leave it 
    for a 
    de
    mo 
    tape 

    To be 
    played 
    un
    til 
    it's broken, 

    Then 
    remembered 
    only 
    for 

    what 
    it was. 

    Verse 3

    That we 
    gave 
    them 
    hell

    gave 
    them 
    hell

    gave 
    them 
    hell 

    Verse 4
    That we 
    gave 
    them 
    hell 

    That we 
    gave 
    them 
    hell 

    That we 
    gave 
    them 
    hell 

    Verse 5
    To my 
    friends 
    and enemies 
    who 

    could have 
    been 
    anything, 

    Titans 
    and her
    oes 
    who 
    found 

    sruvival in 
    cause 
    and 
    effect. 

    Behind 
    coun
    ters, 

    Behind 
    windows, 

    Striv
    ing 
    just 

    To 
    be people 

    With bitter 
    ideals 
    of 
    justice. 

    Do 
    we 
    only 
    need 
    to keep 
    working 

    because 
    it pays 
    rent? 

    Sleeping 
    under 
    plastic 
    stars 

    glued to 
    ceiling, 

    Muscles 
    burning 
    alco
    hol 
    and 
    nicotine 

    Every 
    morning. 

    Verse 6

    But 
    we gave 
    them 
    hell 

    But 
    we 
    gave 
    them 
    hell 

    But we 
    gave 
    them 
    hell 

    Verse 7
    But we 
    gave 
    them 
    hell 

    But we 
    gave 
    them 
    hell 

    But 
    we gave 
    them 
    hell 

    Verse 8
    There's a 
    height 
    beyond 
    sky
    scrapers, 

    There's 
    a distance 
    beyond 
    the freeway, 

    More than 
    pictures 
    in a 
    magazine, 


    More than 
    tragedy 
    in 
    a rock 
    and 
    roll 
    song. 

    It's 
    more 
    than 
    actions 
    you 

    know 
    are safe 
    to 
    make. 

    It's 
    more 
    than 
    money 
    could 
    ever 
    buy. 

    Verse 9
    Are 
    we 
    living 
    to 
    work 
    and die 

    in American 
    cities? 

    And 
    workin 
    to 
    live 
    and die 

    in American 
    cities? 

    Outro 1
    And 
    dying 
    for 
    what 
    we worked!

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
