    Lying 
    on 
    a mattress 
    cause 
    Verse 1

    my 
    friend's 
    crazy 
    sister 
    took 
    my 
    bed away 

    Sleeping 
    she looked 
    like an 
    actress 

    in 
    the
    ory 
    and in prac
    tice 

    said 
    there's 
    got to 

    be a better 
    way 

    She 
    said 
    you 
    light 

    a thousand 
    matches 

    When you 
    finally 
    set 
    fire 

    will you 
    run away? 

    So 
    why'd 
    you go and 
    do 
    it 

    When you 
    knew that you 
    would go and 

    I would stay? 

    Verse 2
    I hit the 
    wall 
    in frustration, 

    the conversa
    tion 
    had been 
    circling 
    for days 

    She 
    said don't 
    take 
    it out on 
    him, 

    for 
    the 
    wall has 
    always 
    been 

    Sup
    portive 
    in 
    the best 

    of ways 

    We're 
    laughing 
    and crying 
    like 

    madmen 
    dying 
    in the 
    snow 

    For 
    just one 
    second 
    it was 
    funny that 
    she would 

    have to stay 
    and I 
    would go 

    Verse 3
    And I said 
    love, 
    you 
    know, 
    love you 
    so 

    When 
    you 
    love someone 
    well 

    you've 
    got
    ta let 
    'em know 

    She 
    said, 
    "Nothing's 
    changed, 

    love 
    you the same 

    When 
    you 
    love someone, 

    some
    times 
    you 
    gotta let 
    'em go" 

    Interlude 1


    She 
    handed me 
    a stone 
    in the 
    Verse 4
    per
    fect 

    shape 
    of 
    heart 

    She said 
    I'm gonna 
    take 

    this home 

    For I know 
    you'll only 
    lose 
    it 

    somewhere 
    after 
    dark 

    In some 
    faceless 
    hotel 
    room 

    You 
    seem 
    to lose 
    everything 

    you 
    know 

    She didn't 
    mean it how 
    it soun
    ded 

    What 
    she meant 
    was 
    she would 

    stay and 
    would go 

    And I said 
    love, 
    you 
    know, 
    love you 
    so 

    When 
    you 
    love someone 
    well 

    you've 
    gotta let 
    'em know 

    She 
    said, 
    "Nothing's 
    changed 

    love 
    you the same 

    When 
    you 
    love someone 

    Sometimes 
    you gotta let 

    'em go" 

    Verse 5

    Sometimes 
    you tear 
    it all 
    apart 

    To 
    see the 
    wood from 
    the trees 

    Sometimes 
    you break 
    your own 
    heart 

    To 
    set yourself 
    free 

    Interlude 2



    I walked 
    her to the 
    sta
    tion 
    Hes
    itation 
    Verse 6

    in our 
    movements 

    and our tone 

    Words 
    finally left 
    after 
    real

    izing 

    How uncomfort
    able they'd 
    grown 

    See, 
    what 
    you want 
    and what you need, 

    well 

    They 
    seldomly succeed 
    to grow 


    We reluctantly 
    agreed 

    that when you love someone 

    You gotta let 
    them go

    • 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 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      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!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      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.

      Caleb Schafli

      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.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
