    Verse 1
    dragged 
    this 
    lake 
    looking 
    for 
    corpses 

    Dusted 
    for 
    prints, 
    pried 
    up 
    the 
    floorboards 

    Pieces 
    of 
    planes 
    and 
    black 
    box 
    recorders 

    Don't 
    lie, 
    (don't 
    lie) 

    And 
    I've 
    been 
    preoccupied 

    with 
    these 
    sick, 
    sick 
    senses 

    That 
    sense 
    DNA 
    on 
    barbed 
    wire 
    fences 

    Maybe 
    someday 
    I'll 
    find 
    me 
    suspect 

    That 
    has 
    no 
    a
    li-
    bi 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 2
    New 
    Year's 
    Eve 
    was 
    as 
    boring 
    as 
    heaven 

    watched 
    flies 
    fuck 
    on 
    channel 
    eleven 

    There 
    was 
    no 
    one 
    to 
    kiss, 

    there 
    was 
    nothing 
    to 
    drink 

    Except 
    some 
    old 
    rotten 
    milk 

    someone 
    left 
    in 
    the 
    sink 

    And 
    there's 
    no 
    ring, 
    no 
    ring 

    on 
    the 
    phone 
    anymore 

    There's 
    no 
    reason 
    to 
    call 

    passed 
    out 
    on 
    the 
    floor 

    Smoked 
    myself 
    stupid 

    and 
    drank 
    my 
    insides 
    raisin 
    dry 

    Chorus 1
    But 
    at 
    the 
    right 
    place 
    at 
    the 
    right 
    time 

    I'll 
    be 
    dead 
    wrong 
    and 
    you'll 
    be 
    just 
    fine 

    And 
    won't 
    have 
    to 
    quit 
    doing 
    fucked 
    up 
    shit 

    For 
    anyone 
    but 
    me 

    And 
    at 
    the 
    right 
    place 
    at 
    the 
    right 
    time 

    It 
    will 
    have 
    been 
    worth 
    it 
    to 
    stand 
    in 
    line 

    And 
    you 
    won't 
    have 
    to 
    stop 

    Saying 
    "I 
    love 
    cops" 
    for 
    anyone 
    but 
    me

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      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

      Rose the Black Cat

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
