    Verse 1
    Why 
    can't 
    I be good? 

    Why 
    can't 
    act like 
    a man? 

    Why 
    can't 
    I be good 

    and 
    do what 
    other 
    men can

    Why 
    can't 
    I be good 

    and make 
    something 
    of this 
    life? 

    If 
    can't 
    be a 
    god, 

    let me 
    be more 
    than a 
    wife 

    Why 
    can't I be 
    good? 

    Why 
    can't I be 
    good? 

    Why 
    can't I 
    be good? 

    Why 
    can't I 
    be 
    good? 

    Don't 
    wanna 
    be weak, 

    wan
    na 
    be strong 

    Not a 
    fat, 
    happy 
    weakling 

    with 
    two 
    useless arm

    mouth 
    that keeps 
    moving 

    with 
    nothing 
    to 
    say 

    An 
    eternal 
    baby 

    who 
    never 
    moved 
    away 

    Why can't 
    it 
    be good? 

    Why 
    can't 
    it be good? 

    Why 
    can't 
    it be good? 

    Why 
    can't 
    it 
    be good? 

    I look 
    in 
    a mirror with 
    a feeling 
    of 
    pride 

    Instead 
    of seeing 
    reflection 

    of 
    failure 
    or 
    crime 

    Don't 
    want 
    to turn away, 

    make 
    sure I 
    cannot 
    see 

    don't want 
    to hold my 
    ears 

    when I 
    think 
    about me. 

    Why 
    can
    't it be 
    good? 

    Why 
    can't it 
    be 
    good? 

    Why 
    can't it 
    be good? 

    Why 
    can't it 
    be 
    good? 

    want 
    to be like 
    the wind 

    when 
    it 
    uproots 
    a tree 

    Car
    ries it 
    across an 
    ocean 

    to 
    plant 
    in a valley. 

    I want to 
    be like 
    the 
    sun 

    that 
    makes it 
    flourish 
    and grow 

    don't 
    want 
    to be 
    what I 
    am 
    anymore, 

    why 
    can't it be 
    good? 

    Can't 
    it 
    be 
    good? 

    Can't 
    it 
    be good? 

    was thinking 
    of some 

    kind of whacked 
    -out syncopation 

    to 
    help improve 
    this 
    song 

    Some 
    knock -em 
    -down rhythm 

    that 
    would 
    help move 
    it along 

    some 
    rhyme 
    of 
    pure 
    perfection 

    beat so 
    hard and 
    strong 

    if 
    i can't get 
    it right 
    this time 

    will the 
    next time 
    come along 

    why 
    can't it be 
    good 

    why 
    can
    't it 
    be good 

    can 
    it be 
    good 



    Outro 1
    Thank 
    you 
    very much.

    • 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.
