    Verse 1
    Well 
    that 
    golden 

    halo 
    doesn't 
    go 
    so 
    well 

    With my 
    red 
    bandana 
    and blue 
    jeans 

    God 
    knows 
    when 
    I'm 
    good, 
    I'm good 

    And 
    when I'm 
    good 
    is seldom 
    so 
    it seems 

    So 
    they 
    say 
    fools 
    play 
    with 
    fire 

    I'm trying 
    my 
    best 
    not 
    to get 
    burned 

    While 
    I soak 
    myself 
    in 
    gasoline 

    One 
    would think 
    by now 

    I might 
    have 
    learned 

    But 
    I've 
    never 
    learned 

    Verse 2
    No, 
    I'm 
    not 
    the man 
    they 
    think 
    I 
    am 

    It 
    weighs 
    heavy 
    on 
    my 
    heart 
    and mind 

    As 
    I 
    stumble 
    every 
    step 
    along 
    the way 

    Like 
    a 
    wino who 
    can't 
    walk 
    the 
    line 

    It's 
    like 
    tightrope 
    walking 

    on a 
    windy 
    day 

    There's 
    heaven 
    in her 
    eyes 

    and 
    hell 
    to pay 

    And 
    I'm 
    solid 
    as 
    a rock 
    and sink 
    in sand 

    Try
    ing 
    like the 
    devil 
    to be 
    a good 
    man 

    Verse 3

    So 
    beware 
    of 
    broken 
    glass 

    Should 
    you stare 
    into 

    the window 
    of my 
    soul 

    And 
    judge 
    me not, 
    I only 
    bare 
    it all 

    So 
    you know 
    that 
    you 
    are 
    not 
    alone 

    You're 
    not 
    alone 

    Verse 4
    No, 
    I'm 
    not 
    the man 
    they 
    think 
    I 
    am 

    It 
    weighs 
    heavy 
    on 
    my 
    heart 
    and 
    mind 

    As 
    I 
    stumble 
    every 
    step 
    along 
    the way 

    Like 
    a 
    wino who can't 
    walk 
    the 
    line 

    Well 
    I'm 
    tightrope 
    walking 

    on 
    a windy 
    day 

    There's 
    heaven 
    in 
    her eyes 

    and 
    hell 
    to pay 

    I'm solid 
    as 
    a rock 
    and sink 
    in sand 

    Try
    ing 
    like 
    the devil 
    to 
    be 
    a good 
    man 

    Verse 5

    Oh 
    my 
    God 

    Feed 
    me 
    the crumbs 
    that 

    fall 
    upon 
    your 
    floor 

    As 
    those 
    saints 
    walk 
    through 

    your 
    pearly 
    gates 

    Lord, 
    let 
    the sin
    ner 
    crawl 

    through 
    your 
    back
    door 

    Oh, 

    oh 

    Oh, oh 

    Verse 6

    No, 
    I'm 
    not 
    the man 
    they 
    think 
    I 
    am 

    It 
    weighs 
    heavy 
    on 
    my 
    heart 
    and 
    mind 

    As 
    I 
    stumble 
    every 
    step 
    along

    Verse 7

    I'm 
    solid 
    as 
    a rock 
    and 
    sink 
    in 
    sand 

    Lord, 
    I'm

    like 
    the 
    devil

      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

      "

      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.
