    Verse 1
    I was 
    on 
    the beach 
    but 

    I was 
    thinking 
    about 
    the bay 

    Got 
    to 
    the bay 
    but by 

    then I 
    was far 
    away 

    I was 
    on 
    the ground 
    but 

    looking straight 
    into 
    the sun 

    But the 
    sun 
    went 
    down 
    and 

    I couldn't 
    find 
    another 
    one 

    For 
    awhile 

    For because 
    it was 
    an all-burning 

    feeling 
    feeling 
    in 
    my chest 

    To 
    fill 
    the void 

    Of a 
    long 
    night 
    unwatched 
    by, 

    well, 
    the sun 

    Until 
    the morn 

    Until 
    when, 
    well, 
    the sun's 
    reborn 

    And 
    so am 
    I 

    From 
    all the 
    scorn 
    buried 
    deep 

    Within 
    the 
    psyche 
    of my 
    soul 

    I was 
    standing 
    down 
    but 
    I 

    was also 
    on 
    the run 

    Interlude 1
    In my 
    mind 



    Verse 2
    I was 
    on 
    the radio 
    talking 

    with 
    a friend 
    of 
    mine 

    There 
    wasn't 
    no 
    format 
    because 
    well, 

    we like 
    it like 
    that 

    He was 
    out 
    of his 
    mind 
    and 

    I was 
    way 
    out 
    of mine 

    Then 
    everything 
    went 
    backwards 

    With 
    words 
    coming 
    out 

    Bassackwards 

    And I appreciate him 
    to 

    Interlude 2
    the 
    utmost 
    degree 




    Verse 3
    I was 
    on 
    the beach 
    but 

    I was 
    thinking 
    about 
    the bay 

    Got 
    to 
    the bay 
    but by 

    then I was 
    far 
    away 

    I was 
    on 
    the ground 
    but 

    looking straight 
    into 
    the sun 

    But the 
    sun 
    went 
    down 
    and 

    I couldn't 
    find 
    another 
    one 

    For 
    a while 

    To fill 
    the 
    void 

    Until 
    the morn 

    Then 
    everything 
    went 
    backwards 

    I mean, 
    phrases 
    flying 
    out 

    Bassackwards, yeah 

    Interlude 3






    Verse 4
    I was 

    on 
    the moon 
    but more 
    so, 

    I was 
    in 
    the grass 

    So 
    I 
    was 
    chilling 
    out 
    but 

    with a 
    very 
    drifting 
    mind 

    So I 
    was 
    on the 

    ground 
    circa 
    planet 
    earth 

    But out 
    of sorts 
    but 

    I snapped 
    back, 
    baby 

    Just 
    in time 
    to jot 

    it down 
    and 
    come 
    around 

    And 
    it's 
    always 
    to see 
    you 

    And I 
    came 
    around 

    It's always 
    to 
    see 
    you 

    here 
    when I come 
    around 

    Or when 
    I'm 
    plain 
    come, 
    comin' 
    down 

    Verse 5
    Then 
    everything 
    goes 
    backwards 

    I 
    mean, everything 
    moving 
    out 

    Then 
    everything 
    goes 
    backwards 

    I 
    mean, 
    everything 
    oozing 
    out 

    Bassackwards 

    (Strummin' a Chet 
    Atkins) 

    Verse 6
    I was standing 
    up 

    But 
    you know 
    I 
    hate 

    to 
    still 
    stoop 
    you down 

    To 
    my 
    level 

    Interlude 4

    Verse 10
    It's 
    just 
    the way 

    things 
    is 
    these 
    days 

    That's 
    the way 
    they 

    come 
    out 
    these 
    days 

    Just the 
    way 
    things 
    come 
    out

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
