    Verse 1
    Aunt 
    Clara 
    kept 
    her 

    bib
    le 
    right 
    next 
    to 
    the phone 

    In case 
    she 
    needed 
    a quote 

    while 
    she 
    talked 
    to someone 

    In 
    my memory 
    she 
    smiles 
    while 

    the blessing
    s said 

    And 
    visions 
    of 
    freeze 
    tag 

    dance 
    in my 
    head 

    She 
    says 
    I'll 
    grow 
    up 
    big 
    if 

    eat 
    all 
    my 
    roast 

    That I'll still 
    believe 
    in 
    heaven 
    but I 

    won't 
    believe 
    in 
    ghosts 
    any
    more 

    Verse 2
    I'll 
    put 
    away 
    childish 
    things, 

    I'll 
    put 
    away 
    childish 
    things 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    Every 
    other 
    weekend, 
    age 
    of 
    thirteen 

    With 
    my fishing 
    pole 
    and 

    my Field 
    & Stream 

    Rid
    ing 
    back 
    home 
    on 
    the 

    Trailways bus 

    I looked 
    out 
    the 
    window 

    till 
    I saw 
    too 
    much 

    And 
    I called 
    my parent

    by 
    their 
    own 
    first 
    names 

    I played 
    in the 
    alley 
    but I didn't 

    play 
    the game 
    any
    more 

    Verse 4
    put 
    away 
    childish 
    things, 

    put 
    away 
    childish 
    things 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 5
    The wolves 
    howl 
    all 
    night 
    long 

    They 
    won't 
    stop 
    and 
    they 

    won't 
    go 
    home 

    Beneath 
    my 
    window 
    they 

    run 

    Probably 
    it'll 
    be 
    alright 

    If 
    I keep 
    it 
    all 
    locked 
    up 
    tight 

    And 
    wait 
    till 
    daylight

    And to 
    sell 
    all 
    my 
    stock 
    and 

    live 
    on 
    the coast 

    I don't 
    believe 
    in 
    heaven 
    but 
    still 

    believe 
    in 
    ghost

    Verse 7

    things 

    I've

    • 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.
