    Verse 1

    I 
    woke 
    up 
    this 
    mornin' 
    and I 
    swore 
    to God 

    I'd 
    never, 
    ever 
    take 

    another 
    drink 
    again 

    I fought 
    it like 
    the devil, 

    but 
    you 
    know 
    that you're 
    in 
    trouble 

    Verse 2
    When 
    you're 
    four
    teen 

    and 
    drunk 
    by 
    ten 
    a.m. 

    Tried 
    to 
    hide 
    it from 
    my 
    mom 
    and dad, 

    all 
    my friends 
    said, 
    straighten 
    up 

    I just 
    laughed, 
    said, 

    you don't 
    un
    derstand 

    That's 
    a 
    hell 
    of 
    a lot 
    to 
    ask 
    of 
    a 
    drinkin' 

    man 

    Verse 3

    At six
    teen 
    I 
    was 
    on 
    my 
    own 

    and 
    flyin' 
    high 

    And stayin' 
    stoned 

    I 
    knew everything 
    there was 
    to know 

    I 
    did 
    things 
    that 
    I can't 
    talk 
    about 

    I 
    wore 
    my 
    mom 
    and 
    daddy 
    out 

    Late 
    nights 
    they spent 

    prayin' 
    for 
    my 
    soul 

    Stayed 
    sober 
    once 
    for nine 
    days 
    in 
    a row 

    I quit 
    cold 
    turkey 
    and 
    damn 
    near almost 

    Made 
    it 
    to ten 

    But 
    that's a 
    hell 
    of 
    a lot 
    to 
    ask 

    of a 
    drinkin' 
    man 

    Verse 4

    I 
    look 
    into 
    the 
    mirror, 

    bottle 
    in 
    my 
    hand 

    I'd 
    like 
    to 
    pour 
    it 
    out, 

    I 
    just 
    don't 
    think 
    I 
    can 

    'Cause 
    that's 
    a 
    hell 
    of 
    a lot 
    to 
    ask 

    of a 
    drinkin' 
    man 

    Verse 5

    I don't 
    know 
    when 
    or where 

    it was 
    or 
    how 
    we met 

    And 
    fell 
    in love 

    Or 
    why 
    she'd even 
    fall 
    for 
    a guy 
    like 
    me 

    I 
    tried 
    to pull 
    myself 
    to
    gether, 

    hopin' 
    we 
    could last 
    forever 

    For 
    awhile 
    I started 
    to 
    believe 

    Her 
    daddy 
    said, 
    she's 
    all 
    I got 

    Son, 
    don't 
    ever 
    break 
    her heart 

    Promise 
    me 
    before 
    you take 
    her 
    hand 

    But 
    that's 
    just 
    too 
    much 
    to 
    ask 
    of a 

    drinkin' 
    man 

    Verse 6
    I 
    look 
    into 
    the 
    mirror, 

    bottle 
    in 
    my 
    hand 

    I'd 
    like 
    to 
    pour 
    it 
    out, 

    I 
    just 
    don't 
    think 
    I 
    can 

    'Cause 
    that's 
    a 
    hell 
    of 
    a lot 
    to 
    ask 
    of a 

    drinkin' 
    man 


    Verse 7
    I 
    woke 
    up 
    this 
    mornin' 

    and 
    I swore 
    to God 

    I'd 
    never, 
    ever 
    take 
    an
    other 
    drink 
    again

      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.

      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.
