    Verse 1
    was 
    driving 
    across 
    the 
    burning 
    desert 

    When 
    spotted 
    six 
    jet 
    planes 

    Leaving 
    six 
    white 
    va
    por 
    trails, 

    across 
    the 
    bleak 
    ter
    rain 

    It 
    was 
    the 
    hexagram 
    of 
    the 
    heavens 

    It 
    was 
    the 
    strings 
    of 
    my 
    gui
    tar 

    A
    melia, 
    it 
    was 
    just 
    false 
    alarm 


    Interlude 1



    Verse 2
    The 
    drone 
    of 
    flying 
    en
    gines 

    Is 
    song 
    so 
    wild 
    and 
    blue 

    It 
    scrambles 
    time 
    and 
    seasons 

    If 
    it 
    gets 
    through 
    to 
    you 

    Then 
    your 
    life 
    becomes 
    travelogue 

    Of 
    picture 
    post
    cards 
    charms 

    Oh, 
    A
    me
    lia, 
    it 
    was 
    just 
    false 
    alarm 


    Interlude 2



    Verse 3
    People 
    will 
    tell 
    you 
    where 
    they've 
    gone 

    They'll 
    tell 
    you 
    where 
    to 
    go 

    But 
    'til 
    you 
    get 
    there 
    yourself 

    You 
    never 
    really 
    know 

    Where 
    some 
    have 
    found 
    their 
    paradise 

    Others 
    just 
    come 
    to 
    harm 

    Oh, 
    A
    melia, 
    it 
    was 
    just 
    false 
    alarm 


    Interlude 3



    Verse 4
    wish 
    that 
    he 
    was 
    here 
    to
    night 

    It's 
    so 
    hard 
    to 
    obey 

    His 
    sad 
    re
    quest 
    of 
    me, 

    to 
    kindly 
    stay 
    a
    way 

    So 
    this 
    is 
    how 
    hide 
    the 
    hurt 

    As 
    the 
    road 
    leads 
    cursed 
    and 
    charmed 

    tell 
    A
    melia, 
    it 
    was 
    just 
    false 
    alarm 


    Interlude 4



    Verse 5
    ghost 
    of 
    a
    via
    tion 

    She 
    was 
    swallowed 
    by 
    the 
    sky 

    Or 
    by 
    the 
    sea, 
    like 
    me, 

    she 
    had 
    dream 
    to 
    fly 

    Like 
    Icarus 
    as
    cend
    ing 

    On 
    beautiful 
    foolish 
    arms 

    A
    melia, 
    it 
    was 
    just 
    false 
    alarm 


    Interlude 5



    Verse 6
    Maybe 
    I've 
    vever 
    really 
    loved 

    guess 
    that 
    is 
    the 
    truth 

    I've 
    spent 
    my 
    whole 
    life 
    in 
    clouds, 

    at 
    icy 
    alti
    tude 

    And 
    looking 
    down 
    on 
    everything 

    crashed 
    into 
    his 
    arms 

    Amelia, 
    it 
    was 
    just 
    false 
    alarm 


    Interlude 6



    Verse 7
    pulled 
    into 
    the 
    Cactus 
    Tree 
    Motel 

    To 
    show
    er 
    off 
    the 
    dust 

    And 
    slept 
    on 
    the 
    strange 
    pillows, 

    of 
    my 
    won
    der
    lust 

    dreamed 
    of 
    47

    Over 
    geometric 
    farms 

    Dreams, 
    Amelia, 
    dreams, 

    and 
    false 
    a
    larms

    • 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.
