    Verse 1
    What do 
    you 
    think 

    Heaven's 
    like? 

    think 
    it's 
    a garden 

    think it's 
    your eye

    And 
    think it's 
    my 

    beating 
    heart 

    Verse 2
    If you don't 
    mind 
    me asking 

    Who 
    do you 
    think God 
    is? 

    Do you 
    think 
    he was born 
    to spite 

    Both 
    the wicked 
    and the 
    right
    eous? 

    Well, 
    I think 
    he is 
    good 

    Verse 3

    Did 
    you hear 
    the church 
    bells 
    ring? 

    Night 
    rang 
    out 
    in Char
    leston 

    As blood 
    rained

    up their 
    of
    ferings

    The poor 
    and 
    the prophet 

    Sang 
    hymns 
    of their 
    sor
    row 

    They're 
    tired 
    of being 
    for
    gotten 

    And I'm 
    tired 
    of 
    watching 

    No, I 
    won't 
    look 
    on 

    Verse 5
    The 
    cities 
    are 
    burn
    ing 
    down 

    All 
    I've got 
    is 
    a song 

    So 
    will 
    sing 
    it 
    out 

    Just 
    to help 
    the world 

    Verse 6

    Where 
    is our 
    humanity? 

    Have 
    we 
    lost 
    our 
    ca
    pacity? 

    To 
    see 
    that every 
    breath 
    we breathe 

    Is 
    a thread 
    in 
    the 
    tapestry 

    Verse 7
    That 
    winds 
    into 
    eternity 

    Where 
    we'll stand 
    as 
    a family 

    And 
    our bodies 
    so 
    heavenly 

    Sisters 
    and 
    brothers 

    So 
    won't 
    look 
    on

    Cities 
    are 
    burn
    ing 
    down 

    All 
    I've got 
    is 
    a song 

    And so 
    I'll 
    sing 
    it 
    out 

    No, 
    won't 
    stand 
    by 

    Verse 9
    The 
    cities 
    are 
    burn
    ing 
    down 

    All I've 
    got 
    is this 
    life 

    And 
    so I'm 
    gonna 
    live 
    it loud 

    Verse 10
    Oh- oh, oh, 
    ooh, oh 

    (no, I

    • 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.
