    Verse 1
    When 
    we 
    hid 
    out 

    behind 
    the risers 
    at 
    he high 
    school, 

    Work
    ing 
    bitter 
    calculations 

    with a 
    slide 
    rule. 

    The 
    grim 
    particulars 
    of 
    poisoning 

    the swimming 
    pool, 

    Well you 
    looked 
    me 
    in 
    the eye, 

    Ready 
    to 
    die. 


    Verse 2
    We were 
    becoming 
    what we 
    are, 


    Collapsing 
    stars. 

    Verse 3

    When 
    we 
    chewed 
    up 
    baby 

    aspirin 
    like 
    bubble 
    gum, 

    Til 
    our hearts 
    were 
    beating 
    as 

    deep 
    and rich 
    as 
    kettle 
    drums 

    We 
    knew if 
    we 
    waited 
    long 
    enough 

    the 
    change 
    would 
    come. 

    And then 
    the day 
    did 
    come 

    and at 
    last 

    Hold 
    tight. 

    Hold 
    fast. 

    Verse 4

    Catch 
    lightning 
    in a 
    jar, 

    Collapsing 
    stars. 

    Verse 5

    I 
    told 
    you 
    to load 
    up 
    on 
    provi
    sions, 

    Because 
    we 
    wouldn't 
    be 

    back 
    for 
    a while. 

    Pack up 
    your 
    troubles 
    in 
    your 
    old 
    kit 
    bag 

    Turn 
    toward 
    the 
    camera 
    and 
    smile, 

    smile, 
    smile. 

    When 
    we 
    ditched 
    Verse 6
    the plan 
    to pois

    on 
    all 
    our 
    enemies, 

    Stuffed 
    our 
    weapon
    s in 
    a clearing, 

    and 
    covered 
    them 
    with 
    leaves, 

    We 
    are 
    going to 
    come 
    rejoicing 

    bringing 
    in 
    the sheaves 

    One 
    day, 
    and we 
    are on 
    our 
    way. 

    Verse 7
    You can 
    look, 

    But 
    you won't 
    find 

    Another 
    love 
    like 
    ours, 

    Outro 1

      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.
