    Verse 1
    The only 
    thing 

    I ever 
    made 
    in 
    my life 
    was 
    a fist 

    The 
    only 
    thing that 
    ever 

    proved 
    that I 
    ex
    ist 

    Broken 
    glass 
    looks best 
    when 

    the sun
    's goin 
    down 

    Take 
    it from me, 

    I'm broken 
    too 

    And there's 
    lot
    s of 
    us 
    around 

    Verse 2
    Like 
    swatting 
    at flies 
    till 
    they 

    cover 
    the floor 

    Like 
    pulling 
    teeth, 
    tie the 
    string, 

    and slam 
    the 
    door 

    Like the 
    time 
    I fell 
    in love 

    into someone 
    else 

    Like 
    the time I 
    complained 

    about the 
    cards 
    I've 
    been dealt 

    Like they 
    say 
    when 
    it rains 

    you know 
    it always 
    pours 

    Like 
    hearing 
    no 
    again and 
    slamming 

    of doors 

    Verse 3

    I've been 
    alone, 
    I've been to
    gether, 

    I'd 
    been 
    lost 

    Making 
    my de
    cisions, 

    with 
    the 
    coins 
    that 
    I toss 

    The 
    slower 
    they walk, 

    you 
    know the 
    harder 
    it gets 

    Shoulda, 
    woulda, 
    coulda, 

    sketches 
    all 
    our 
    re
    gret
    s 

    Verse 4
    Like 
    swatting 
    at flies 
    till 
    they 

    cover 
    the floor 

    Like 
    pulling 
    teeth, 
    tie 
    the string, 

    and slam 
    the 
    door 

    Like the 
    time 
    I fell 
    in love 

    into someone 
    else 

    Like the 
    time 
    I 
    complained 

    about the 
    cards 
    I've 
    been dealt 

    Like they 
    say 
    when 
    it rains 

    you know it 
    always 
    pours 

    Like 
    hearing 
    no 
    again 
    and 
    slamming 
    of 
    doors 


    Verse 5


    Enjoying 
    myself 
    has just 

    been 
    an 
    after
    thought 

    I 
    never 
    doubted 
    the teach
    ers, 

    just the 
    les
    sons 
    they taught 

    If 
    I couldn't 
    fill my 
    stomach, 

    I'd fill 
    my 
    head 

    But 
    I never 
    could 
    fill 
    the 

    word that 
    I said 

    Verse 6

    Like 
    swatting 
    at flies 
    till 

    they 
    cover

      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

      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 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.
