  • Verse 1
    Are you 
    frightened 
    by the 

    weight 
    you possess 

    Or 
    is this 
    lie 
    just 
    weightlessness 


    Smoggy twilight 
    in 
    L.A. 

    can't 
    think 
    of 
    one 
    real 
    thing 
    to say 

    And 
    Robbie Williams 
    is 

    walking 
    in the canyons 

    For
    gets 
    that we 
    were friends 

    guess 
    it 
    all 
    depends 
    on your mood 

    Why 
    can't 
    these 
    med's be 

    any 
    damn 
    good 

    Verse 2
    And 
    she said, 

    Why 
    can't 
    you be 
    like my 
    wa

    ter 
    pick 
    shower 
    massager 

    sweet 
    reliable 
    ma
    chine 

    And to 
    tell 
    the truth 

    I don't 
    feel 
    less 
    alone 

    My 
    water 
    massagers 

    The purest 
    love 
    I've ever 
    known 

    Why can't 
    you be, 

    like 
    when 
    I was 
    thirteen 

    He said 
    Verse 3

    Why 
    can't 
    you be 

    Like 
    an 
    art 
    house 
    foreign 
    movie 

    Frank 
    and sexy 
    red 
    balloons 
    and 
    ennui 

    And 
    aloof 
    to me 
    and 

    Why can't 
    you be, 

    little 
    more 
    of a 
    mystery 

    Verse 4
    Why 
    can't 
    you be 

    The 
    part 
    of me 
    that's missing 

    Instead 
    of leav
    ing 
    me 
    for 
    some other 

    Say 
    we're per
    fect 
    for 
    each 
    other 

    An
    we won't 
    spend 
    this life 

    Alone 

    Verse 5
    She 
    said, 

    Why can't 
    you be 

    Like 
    and 
    out 
    sourced government 
    contract 

    And 
    I'm 
    a fat 
    cat 
    getting 

    away 
    with 
    anything 

    Kicking 
    some secret 
    spe

    cial 
    powers 

    Illumination 
    rounds 
    in 
    showers 

    Verse 6
    'Cause 
    your 
    tearing 
    our hair 
    out 

    When 
    we could 
    have 
    a bed 
    of flowers 

    Verse 7
    Why 
    can't 
    you be 

    Like 
    the 
    chicks 
    out 
    on 
    the road 

    Some 
    girls 
    are 
    happy 
    just 
    to see 
    me 

    Verse 8
    Cause 
    you got 
    mox
    ie 

    and 
    a broken 
    nose 

    You take 
    em away 
    from 
    this 
    prose 

    Sometimes 
    a blow 
    job's 
    not 
    enough 

    Why 
    can't 
    you play 

    Interlude 1
    A little 
    less 
    rough 




    Verse 9
    Can 
    we, 
    just 
    leave 
    it be 

    We could 
    live 
    our 
    lives 

    Sep
    arately 

    Could 
    you for
    get 

    What 
    hap
    pens 
    to 

    you 
    and me 

    When we're 
    dead 

    And 
    we'll be 
    dead 

    We'll 
    have 
    eternity 

    And 
    will 
    spend 
    it 
    all 

    Missing 
    you 
    and me 

    So 
    while 
    I'm 
    alive 

    will 
    always 
    be 

    Seeking 
    you 
    out, 
    wondering 
    about 

    How'd we 
    go so 
    far 
    down 

    And what's 
    do 
    wrong 
    with 
    you 
    and 
    me 

    Verse 10
    Why 
    can't 
    you be, 

    someone 
    looking 
    a little deeper 
    into 
    me 

    Like 
    J.D. Sallenger, 

    Verse 11
    Why do 
    challenge 
    her 

    In 
    all 
    the surface 
    ways 
    that you 
    displease 

    Why 
    can't 
    you be 
    little 
    more 
    at ease 

    Verse 12
    Why 
    can't 
    you be, 

    like a 
    hand 
    rolled 
    cigarette 

    I'm 
    not joking 

    This 
    masochistic, 
    self- 
    pity 
    of 
    smoking 

    And 
    this 
    silly 
    ditty 
    that 
    keeps 
    provoking 
    you 

    To 
    leave 
    me 

    Verse 13
    Why 
    can't 
    you be 
    like 

    candle 
    can snuff 

    You're 
    still 
    a dia
    mond 

    in 
    the rough 

    And I swear 
    to god 
    I've had 
    enough 

    How 
    can 

    Call 
    your 
    bluff

      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.
