    Verse 1
    I 
    grew 
    up 
    as 
    your 
    usual 
    suburbanite 

    A 
    tiny 
    town 
    in 
    Massachusetts 

    Over
    whelmingly 
    white 

    I 
    went 
    to 
    church 
    on 
    Sundays 
    in 
    a 
    suit 
    and 
    a 
    tie 

    Then 
    spent 
    my 
    free 
    time 

    watching 
    Family 
    Guy 

    I 
    started 
    doing 
    comedy 

    when 
    I 
    was 
    just 
    a 
    sheltered 
    kid 

    I 
    wrote 
    offensive 
    shit 
    and 
    I 
    said 
    it 

    Father, 
    please 
    forgive 
    me 

    For 
    I 
    did 
    not 
    realize 
    what 
    I 
    did 

    Or 
    that 
    I'd 
    live 
    to 
    re
    gret 
    it 

    Pre-chorus 1
    The 
    times 
    are 
    changing 
    and 
    I'm 
    getting 
    old 

    Are 
    you 
    gonna 
    hold 
    me 
    accountable? 

    My 
    bed 
    is 
    empty, 
    and 
    I'm 
    getting 
    cold 

    Isn't 
    anybody 
    gonna 
    hold 

    me 
    accountable? 
    (Uh) 

    Chorus 1
    I'm 
    problem
    atic 
    (He's 
    a 
    problem) 

    When 
    I 
    was 
    17, 
    on 
    Halloween, 

    I 
    dressed 
    up 
    as 
    A
    laddin 

    (He's 
    a 
    problem) 

    I 
    did 
    not 
    darken 
    my 
    skin 

    Interlude 1
    But 
    still, 
    it 
    feels 
    weird 
    in 

    (hindsight) 


    Verse 2
    I 
    want 
    to 
    show 
    you 
    how 
    I'm 
    growing 

    as 
    a 
    person, 
    but 
    first 

    I 
    feel 
    I 
    must 
    address 
    the 
    lyrics 

    from 
    the 
    previous 
    verse 

    I 
    tried 
    to 
    hide 
    behind 
    my 
    childhood 

    and 
    that's 
    not 
    okay 

    My 
    actions 
    are 
    my 
    own, 

    I 
    won't 
    ex
    plain 
    them 
    away 

    I've 
    done 
    a 
    lot 
    of 
    self-reflecting 

    Since 
    I 
    started 
    singing 
    this 
    song 

    I 
    was 
    totally 
    wrong 
    when 
    I 
    said 
    it 

    Father, 
    please 
    forgive 
    me 

    For 
    I 
    did 
    not 
    realize 
    what 
    I 
    did 

    Or 
    that 
    I'd 
    live 
    to 
    re
    gret 
    it 

    Pre-chorus 2
    The 
    times 
    are 
    changing 
    and 
    I'm 
    getting 
    old 

    Are 
    you 
    gonna 
    hold 
    me 
    accountable? 

    My 
    bed 
    is 
    empty, 
    and 
    I'm 
    getting 
    cold 

    Isn't 
    anybody 
    gonna 
    hold 

    me 
    accountable? 
    (Uh) 

    Chorus 2
    I'm 
    problem
    atic 
    (He's 
    a 
    problem) 

    I 
    just 
    remembered 
    that 
    A
    laddin 
    costume's 

    In 
    my 
    mother's 
    attic 
    (He's 
    a 
    ...) 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    go 
    home 
    and 
    burn 
    it 

    Or 
    not 
    burn 
    it, 
    is 
    burning 
    it 
    bad? 

    What 
    should 
    I 
    do 
    with 
    it? 

    Bridge 1
    And 
    I've 
    been 
    totally 
    awful 

    My 
    closet 
    is 
    chock-full 
    of 
    stuff 

    that 
    is 
    vaguely 
    shitty 

    All 
    of 
    it 
    was 
    perfectly 
    lawful 

    Just 
    not 
    very 
    thoughtful 
    at 
    all 

    and 
    just 
    really 
    shitty 

    And 
    I've 
    been 
    totally 
    awful 

    My 
    closet 
    is 
    chock-full 
    of 
    stuff 

    that 
    is 
    vaguely 
    shitty 

    All 
    of 
    it 
    was 
    perfectly

    Just 
    not 
    very 
    thoughtful 
    at 
    all 
    and 
    just 
    really 

    Outro 1
    And 
    I'm 
    really 
    fucking 
    sorry 

    (Bitch, 
    I'm 
    trying 
    to 
    listen) 

    (Shit, 
    I've 
    been 
    complacent) 

    Sorry 
    (If 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    catch 
    up) 

    (First, 
    I 
    gotta 
    fess 
    up) 

    Sorry 

    Sorry

      "

      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.
