    Verse 1
    If 
    I 
    have 
    to 

    be alone 

    Then I should 
    make 
    my mind 
    serene 

    After 
    all you're 
    born 
    alone, 

    you 
    die 
    alone 

    You might 
    as 
    well spend 
    every 

    moment 
    in between 
    alone 

    Interlude 1

    But 
    if I 
    Verse 2
    have 
    to be 
    alone 

    Then 
    it will 
    be 
    on my 
    own 
    terms 

    I can 
    never 
    talk 
    about 
    it, 
    ever 
    show 
    it 

    Even 
    though the 
    world 
    is watching 

    while 
    I squirm 
    alone 

    Verse 3
    And 
    your bleeding 
    heart friends 
    say, 

    "isn't 
    it 
    sad?" 

    Then 
    they 
    go make 
    love 

    While 
    you 
    go 
    in
    sane. 
    insane! 

    It 
    drives 
    you 
    mad! 
    mad! 

    My 
    Verse 4
    mind, 
    I 
    love 
    my 
    mind 

    And 
    if no 
    one 
    can feel 
    the 
    same 

    I'm a 
    computer 
    with 

    a name 

    And I've got 
    no 
    one else 
    to 
    blame 

    If 
    I have 
    to 
    be 
    alone 

    Verse 5

    And 
    if 
    nobody 
    understands 

    That 
    special 
    creature 
    that 
    is 
    me 

    And 
    if they 
    fail 
    to see 
    the 
    me 
    I see 

    Then 
    no 
    one 
    else knows 
    truly 
    what 
    it is 

    To be 
    alone 

    Maybe 
    once in 
    a 
    Verse 6
    life

    time 
    you 
    lose 
    your 
    will 

    Then 
    you can let 
    down 
    your 
    guard 

    But 
    they cower 
    in fear. 
    in 
    fear. 

    It 
    makes 
    you 
    ill! 
    ill! 

    Verse 7
    My 
    heart, 
    my 

    burn
    ing 
    heart 

    And 
    if 
    no one 
    will 
    quench 
    the flame 

    I'm 
    not ob
    liged 
    to 
    do the 
    same 

    And 
    then they'll 
    have 
    to share 
    the 
    blame 

    Because 
    I have 
    to 
    be alone 

    Because 
    I 
    have to 
    be 
    alone 

    But 
    I 
    don't want 
    to 
    be 
    alone

      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.
