    Verse 1
    Take, 

    take 
    a look 
    at the sky 

    Some
    times 
    your heaven 

    seems 
    to 
    far 
    away 

    Take, 
    take 
    a look 
    under 
    here 

    Where 
    deprivation 
    turns 
    into 
    decay 

    I've stood 
    under 
    this 
    rain, 

    felt 
    it seep 
    into 
    my 
    brain 

    I've shut 
    my 
    eyes 
    and 

    crawled 
    around 
    this mud 

    I'm 
    scared 
    of growin' 
    old, 

    I shiver 
    when I'm 
    cold 

    Don't 
    you 
    think 
    I 
    bleed 

    the same 
    blood? 

    Verse 2
    I, 
    I 
    could've 
    been 
    you, 

    you 
    could've 
    been 
    me 

    One 
    small 
    change 
    that shapes 

    your 
    des
    tiny 

    If 
    you want 
    the 
    proof, 
    cut 
    me and 
    you'll 
    see 

    I 
    could've 
    been 
    you, 

    you 
    could've 
    been me 

    Verse 3
    Wait, 
    wait before 
    you 
    turn 
    off 

    May
    be there's 

    a chance 
    we 
    can 
    relate 

    Wait, 
    everybody 
    turns 
    on 

    Why 
    deny 
    a fact 
    that's so 
    innate? 

    It's 
    not 
    so 
    easy 
    anymore, 

    the 
    way 
    you 
    used 
    to keep 
    score 

    Not 
    so 
    black 
    and white, 

    the color 
    of your 
    sin 

    Take 
    a walk 
    inside 
    my 
    shoes, 

    a 
    path 
    I didn't 
    choose 

    Spend 
    the night 
    inside 
    of my 
    skin 

    Verse 4
    I, 
    I 
    could've 
    been 
    you, 

    you 
    could've 
    been 
    me 

    One 
    small 
    change 
    that shapes 

    your 
    des
    tiny 

    If 
    you want 
    the 
    proof, 
    cut 
    me 
    and you'll see 

    I 
    could've 
    been 
    you, 

    you 
    could've 
    been 
    me 

    Verse 5
    Change 
    is 
    turning 
    into 
    fear, 

    fear 
    is 
    melting 
    into 
    hate 

    With 
    hate 
    you 
    justify 
    your 
    crime, 

    a 
    crime 
    compassion 
    can 
    erase 

    Erase 

    Erase 

    Verse 6
    Touch, 
    touch 
    what 
    I feel 

    And 
    know 
    I believe 
    everything 
    I say 

    So go, 
    go 
    if you must 

    Remember 
    one 
    thing 
    as 
    you 

    walk 
    away: 

    I, I 
    could've 
    been 
    Verse 7
    you, 

    you 
    could've 
    been 
    me 

    One 
    small 
    change 
    that shapes 

    your 
    des
    tiny 

    If you 
    want 
    the 
    proof, 

    cut 
    me 
    and 
    you'll 
    see 

    I 
    could've 
    been 
    you, 
    you 
    could've 
    been 
    me

      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.
