    Verse 1
    Woke up 
    this morning 
    and 

    it seemed to me, 

    That every 
    night turns 
    out 
    to be 

    A little more like 
    Bukowski. 

    And yeah, I know he's a pretty good 
    read. 

    But God 
    who'd want to be? 

    God 
    who'd want to be 
    such 
    an asshole? 

    God 
    who'd 
    want 
    to be? 

    God 
    who'd 
    want 
    to be 
    such 
    an asshole? 

    Interlude 1




    Verse 2
    Well 
    we 
    sat 
    on 

    the 
    edge 
    of the 
    river, 

    The crowd 
    screamed, 

    "Sacrifice 
    the 
    liver!" 

    If 
    God 
    takes 
    life, 

    he's an 
    Indian 
    giver. 

    So tell 
    me 
    now 
    why, 

    you'll tell 
    me 
    never. 

    Who 
    would 
    want 
    to be? 

    Who 
    would 
    want 
    to be 

    such 
    a control 
    freak? 

    Well 
    who 
    would 
    want 
    to be? 

    Who 
    would 
    want 
    to be 

    such 
    a 
    control 
    freak? 

    Interlude 2










    Verse 3
    Well 
    see 
    what 
    you 
    want 
    to 

    see. 
    You 
    should 
    see 
    it 
    all. 

    Well 
    take 
    what 
    you 
    want 
    from 

    me. 
    You 
    deserve 
    it 
    all. 

    Nine 
    times 
    out 
    of 
    ten 

    our 
    hearts 
    just 
    get 
    dissolved. 

    Well 
    I 
    want 
    a 

    better 
    place 
    or 

    just 
    a 
    better 
    way 
    to 
    fall. 

    Verse 4
    But 
    one 
    time 
    out 
    of 
    ten, 

    everything 
    is 
    perfect 

    for 
    us 
    all. 

    Well 
    I 
    want 
    a 

    better 
    place 
    or 

    just 
    a 
    better 
    way 
    to fall. 

    Here 
    we 
    go! 

    Verse 5
    If God 
    controls 
    the 

    land and disease, 

    Keeps 
    a watchful 
    eye 
    on me, 

    If 
    he's really 
    so 
    damn 
    mighty, 

    My 
    problem 
    is 
    I can't 
    see, 

    Well 
    who 
    would want 
    to 
    be? 

    Who 
    would 
    want 
    to 
    be 

    such 
    a control 
    freak? 

    Well 
    who 
    would 
    want 
    to be? 

    Who 
    would 
    want 
    to be 

    Interlude 3

    Verse 6

    Evil 

    Verse 7
    home 
    stereo, 

    what 
    good 
    songs 

    do 
    you 
    know? 


    Evil 
    me, 

    oh 
    yeah 
    I 
    know, 

    what 
    good 
    curves 
    can 
    you throw? 

    Verse 8
    Well 
    all 
    that 
    icing 

    and 
    all 
    that 
    cake, 

    I 
    can't 
    make 
    it to 
    your 
    wedding, 

    but I'm 
    sure 
    I'll 
    be 
    at 
    your 
    wake. 

    You 
    were 
    talk, 
    talk, 
    talk, 

    talkin' 
    in 
    circles 
    that 
    day, 

    When 
    you 
    get 
    to 
    the 
    point 
    make 

    sure that I'm 
    still 
    awake, 
    OK? 

    Interlude 4


    Verse 9
    Went 

    to 
    bed 
    and 
    didn't 
    see 

    Why 
    every 
    day 
    turns 
    out 
    to 
    be 

    A 
    little 
    bit 

    more 
    like 
    Bukowski. 

    And yeah, I 
    know 
    he's a 
    pretty 
    good 
    read. 

    But 
    God 
    who'd 
    want 
    to be? 

    God 
    who'd 
    want 
    to be 
    such 
    an asshole?

      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 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.

      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.
