    Verse 1
    I 
    remember 
    everything 

    I've 
    learned 
    about 
    survival 

    I've 
    walked 
    with 
    fools 
    and 
    kings 

    And 
    I've even 
    read 
    the 
    Bible 

    Verse 2

    There 
    I 
    came 
    upon 
    some 
    lines 

    Givin' 
    me 
    direction 

    Gather 
    not 
    your 
    gold 
    on 
    earth 

    Verse 3
    Your 
    kingdom 
    is 
    in 
    heaven 


    But 
    I 
    chose 
    to 
    live 
    instead 

    Inside 
    the shell 
    they 
    gave 
    me 

    'Til 
    in 
    spite 
    of 
    everything 

    Good 
    fortune 
    came 
    to 
    find 
    me 

    Verse 4
    I tried 
    my best 
    to 
    run 
    away 

    But 
    I 
    could not 
    avoid 
    the feelin' 

    Soon 
    I 
    was 
    reelin' 
    on 
    my 
    feet 

    I 
    made 
    a grab 
    at 
    anything 

    The 
    earth 
    was gone 
    and I 
    was on 

    A 
    vicious 
    circle 
    then 

    Verse 5

    After 
    I'd 
    gone 
    and let 

    myself 
    surrender 

    I didn't 
    want 
    to 
    die 
    at all 

    Verse 6
    I thought 
    I'd 
    live 
    forever 


    Then 
    she gave 
    me 
    everything 

    A king 
    could 
    never 
    borrow 

    But 
    I twisted 
    all 
    her 
    gifts 

    Verse 7
    Her wisdom 
    was 
    my 
    sorrow 


    So 
    I left 
    her 
    cryin' 

    And 
    roamed 
    across 
    the river 

    The angels 
    offered 
    me 
    their 
    hands 

    But I 
    could 
    not 
    forget 
    her 

    Verse 8
    So 
    I 
    came 
    to where 
    she was 

    By 
    river, 
    road 
    and 
    reason 

    I slept 
    beneath 
    her 
    window 

    In 
    the moonlight 
    summer 
    season 

    Verse 9
    But 
    I could 
    not 
    go 
    inside 

    I 
    heard 
    the sound 
    of laughter 

    And 
    the 
    rustle 
    of her 
    hair 
    upon 
    his skin 

    I 
    made 
    a grab 
    at anything 

    The 
    earth 
    was gone 
    and I 
    was on 

    A 
    vicious 
    circle 
    then 

    Verse 10

    After 
    I'd 
    gone 
    to cry 

    down 
    my 
    sorrow 

    I didn't 
    want 
    to 
    live 
    no more 

    Verse 11
    Nor face 
    the bright 
    tomorrow 


    Then I 
    remembered 
    everything 

    I've 
    learned 
    about 
    survival 

    Havin' 
    walked 
    with 
    fools 
    and kings 

    Verse 12
    I've even 
    read 
    the Bible 


    I 
    remember 
    all 
    those 
    lines 

    Givin' 
    me 
    direction 

    Gather 
    not 
    your 
    gold 
    on 
    earth 

    Verse 13
    It will 
    not 
    pass 
    inspection 


    And still 
    I 
    think 
    when I'm 
    alone 

    Away 
    from all 
    night 
    splendor 

    If gold 
    could 
    buy 
    one 
    night 
    with her 

    I 
    wish 
    I 
    had 
    some 
    to 
    send 

    Outro 1
    her

    • 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.”
