  • Verse 1
    Dad 
    know 
    you 
    were sad 

    when 
    you 
    died 

    And 
    was 
    young 
    it's 
    the way 

    kept 
    you 
    in 
    my 
    mind 

    The mess 
    that 
    was 
    left 
    and 

    my mother 
    cried 

    And 
    when she 
    stood 
    up 
    she 
    was 

    nobody's 
    mother 
    I'd 
    be 
    fine 

    Verse 2
    But 
    missed 
    you 
    then 

    And 
    mis
    you 
    now 

    Liked 
    you'd 
    missed 
    things 
    might 
    say 

    You 
    seemed 
    lost 
    in 
    clouds 

    But 
    I'm 
    older 
    now 

    can see 
    through 
    lifting 
    haze 

    That 
    you 
    were 
    away 
    even 
    when 

    you 
    were 
    here 

    Verse 3

    Some
    times 
    a phrase 
    or 
    man

    ner 
    that's 
    you 

    Comes 
    through 
    me, 
    it 
    goes 
    in 
    a flash 

    It's 
    a frame, 
    it's 
    blink 
    like 
    life 

    Oh 
    and 
    how 
    much 
    now 
    should 

    we 
    pay 
    for 
    the 
    past 

    'Cause 
    you 
    could 
    age 
    with 
    grace 

    if 
    freed 
    you 
    in 
    my 
    mind 

    Verse 4
    But 
    loved 
    you 
    then 

    And 
    love 
    you 
    now 

    All 
    the thing
    s I 
    wished 
    I'd 
    asked 

    When 
    I'm 
    lost 
    in 
    cloud

    re
    member 
    how 

    was 
    robbed 
    and 
    was 
    blessed 

    And 
    you 
    were 
    away 
    even 

    when 
    you 
    were 
    here 

    'Cause 
    it's 
    not 
    about 
    you, 

    not 
    you, 
    anymore 

    It's 
    about 
    what 
    I'd 
    do 
    with 
    it 
    all 

    And 
    I, 
    I'll 
    never 
    let 
    you 
    let 
    me 
    down 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 5
    This 
    morning 
    wake 
    to 
    be 

    older 
    than 
    you 
    were 

    Fresh 
    white 
    snow 
    for 
    miles, 

    every 
    footstep 
    will 
    be 
    mine 

    You'd 
    have 
    lost 
    that 
    weight, 

    you'd 
    have 
    gone 
    so 
    straight 

    You'd 
    have 
    made 
    my 
    wed
    ding 
    day 

    You'd 
    have saved 
    my 
    youth 

    from 
    that 
    bullet 
    of 
    truth 

    You'd 
    have 
    kep
    those 
    wolves 
    at 
    bay 

    But 
    you 
    were 
    away, 

    you 
    were 
    away 
    even 
    when 
    you 
    were

    • 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.
