    Verse 1
    Well, 
    remember 

    the 
    guy 
    who 
    was 
    football 
    star 

    he 
    had 
    it 
    made 
    with 
    the ladies, 

    but 
    he never 
    got 
    far 

    Five 
    years 
    past, 

    now 
    he's 
    gotten 
    kinda 
    fat 

    Working 
    eight 
    days 
    week 
    at 

    the 
    laundromat 

    Verse 2
    With his 
    mama 
    and 
    his 
    daddy 

    breathing 
    down 
    his 
    neck 

    About 
    everything 
    he 
    does 
    so 
    much, 

    it 
    makes 
    him 
    sick 

    So 
    he 
    sits 
    home 
    alone, 

    with 
    the 
    game 
    on 
    TV 

    As 
    the crowd 
    goes 
    wild, 

    he 
    said 
    "that coulda 
    been 
    me" 

    Just 
    another 
    Verse 3
    day 
    in 
    suburbia 

    It's 
    beautiful 
    day 
    in 
    suburbia 

    Best 
    not 
    let 
    it 
    get 
    the 
    best 
    of 
    you 

    Is 
    it 
    everything 
    you 
    thought 
    it 
    would 
    be?

    look 
    a damn 
    thing 

    like

    (I knew why) 

    Verse 5
    He

    dad 
    nev
    er 
    knew, 

    he 
    was 
    too

    That 
    used 
    to 
    come 
    outside, 

    but she 
    nev
    er

    'Cause 
    she 
    was 
    try
    ing 
    to 
    hide 
    the bruises 

    where 
    her 
    old 
    man 
    beat 
    her 

    'Cause 
    he 
    hit 
    her 
    in 
    the 
    face 

    with 
    an 
    old 
    space

    he 
    didn't 
    see 
    the 

    .44 stuffed 
    in

    ers 

    So 
    she 
    waited 
    till 
    he came 

    as

    lie 
    there 
    naked 

    Be

    she 
    told 
    him 
    she'd 
    been 
    faking 
    all 
    along 

    So 
    long 
    for 
    everything 

    you 
    done 
    wrong 

    Here's 
    bullet, 
    go

    Verse 13

    Remember 
    the 
    cutest 

    couple 
    in 
    the 
    world? 

    He 
    was 
    punk 
    and 
    she 
    was 

    daddy's 
    little 
    girl 

    Gradu
    ation 
    came, 

    and 
    she wanted 
    him 
    to stay 

    But he 
    had 
    bigger, 

    better 
    dreams 
    waiting 
    out 
    in 
    L.A. 

    She 
    cried 
    and 
    Verse 14
    he 
    cred as 

    the 
    plane 
    flew 
    away 

    She 
    never 
    ever 
    wanted 
    it 
    to 
    end 
    this 
    way 

    Two 
    years 
    later, 
    she 
    reads 
    in 
    the 
    news 

    He'd 
    gone 
    on 
    to 
    be 
    big 
    star, 

    but 
    nobody 
    knew 

    Verse 15
    'Cause 
    he changed 
    up 
    his 
    name, 

    but 
    his 
    heart 
    stayed 
    the 
    same 

    'Cause 
    every 
    song 
    he 
    wrote 
    was 
    about 
    her, 

    he 
    claimed 

    But 
    he 
    never 
    got 
    to tell 
    her, 

    'cause 
    he 
    died 
    that 
    year 

    From 
    all 
    of 
    the 
    coke 
    and 
    pills 
    and 
    the 
    beer 

    Verse 16
    And 
    the 
    whole 
    world 
    cried, 

    but 
    just 
    for 
    one 
    day 

    'Cause 
    sooner 
    or 
    later 

    the 
    pain 
    goes 
    away 

    Just 
    another 
    Verse 17
    day 
    in 
    suburbia 

    It's 
    beautiful 
    day

    Is

    everything 
    you 
    thought

    would

    Just 
    Verse 18
    another 
    day 
    in 
    suburbia 

    Yeah, 
    this 
    is 
    how 
    we're

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.

      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 🙂

      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.
