    Verse 1
    Well my 
    daddy 

    he stood 
    at the 
    foot 
    of 
    the stairs 

    He was 
    calling 
    to me 
    at 
    the time 

    And 
    I 
    knew 
    even 
    then, 

    I 
    could die 
    for 
    the thoughts 

    That I 
    kept 
    in 
    the 
    back 
    of my 
    mind 

    Verse 2
    But 
    I dared 
    not 
    to speak 

    How 
    I 
    felt 
    for 
    my dad 

    Cause 
    there 
    were 
    no 
    words 
    to define 

    The 
    ball 
    of 
    confusion, 
    of 
    feelings 
    and 
    stuff 

    That 
    I 
    kept 
    in 
    the 
    back 
    of my 

    Interlude 1
    mind 



    Verse 3
    So I 
    took 
    to 
    the highway 

    And 
    I 
    kept 
    to myself 

    Just 
    a 
    lookin' 
    and 
    hopin' 
    to find

    Some 
    solu
    tions, 
    some 
    answers, 

    some
    way 
    to exist 

    All this 
    stuff 
    in 
    the 
    back 
    of my 
    mind 

    Verse 4
    So I 
    took 
    me 
    a job 

    And I 
    took 
    me 
    a wife 

    And 
    I 
    took 
    me 
    a bottle 
    of 
    wine 

    And 
    it 
    did not 
    take 
    long, 
    'til 
    all 
    I 
    had 
    left 

    Was 
    this 
    junk 

    in 
    the 

    back 
    of 
    my 
    mind 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 5
    Well the 
    end 
    of 
    the 
    tunnel 

    It 
    never 
    came 
    up 

    'til I 
    came 
    to 
    the 
    end 
    of 
    the line 

    And 
    I 
    saw 
    that 
    the 
    light 
    I'd been 

    hoping 
    to see 

    Was just 
    a 
    spark 
    in 
    the 

    back 
    of my 
    mind 

    Verse 6
    And the 
    cold 
    wind 
    that blew 

    Through the 
    hole 
    in 
    my heart 

    Made 
    a 
    fire 
    for 
    the very 
    first 
    time 

    From some 
    branches 
    of trust 

    And 
    a 
    kindling 
    of faith 

    And 
    that 
    spark 
    in 
    the 
    back 
    of my 
    mind 

    Verse 7
    Drivin' 
    like 
    rain, 
    or 

    a 
    run

    away 
    train 

    Flyin' 
    blind, 

    shot 
    from 
    the dark 
    in 
    the back 
    of 
    my 
    mind

    • 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.”
