  • Verse 1

    know, 
    leaving's your living, 

    built 
    in your bones 

    No one 
    can ever 
    escape 

    all 
    of their ghosts 

    So 
    if 
    you walk, 

    you better 
    learn 
    how to run 

    That's 
    why 
    I wrote 
    this 
    song 

    Your 
    contrail's coated 
    in broken 
    homes 
    Verse 2


    You polished 
    up this 
    pretty 

    pearl 
    of a hope 

    That I 
    won't parade 
    your skeletons 

    for 
    every
    one 

    That's 
    why 
    I wrote 
    this 
    song 

    That's 
    why 
    wrote 
    this 
    song 
    (that's why 
    Verse 3

    wrote this 
    song) 

    That's why 
    I wrote 
    this 
    song 
    (that's why 

    wrote 
    this 
    song) 

    That's why 
    I wrote 
    this 
    song 

    (that's why 
    I wrote this song) 

    I know 
    you know 
    the word
    s, 

    so 
    sing 
    along 

    Verse 4
    She always 
    made the 
    best 

    of deaf 
    and blind 

    Fashionable 
    dress 
    of canes 
    an
    d signs 

    Tracing 
    their 
    apparel, 

    like 
    a judge 
    of character 
    in 
    Braille 

    She 
    never 
    missed 
    a lift, 

    a bump 
    or a line 

    But fingertips 
    will 
    drift 
    and miss 

    blip from 
    time 
    to time 

    Verse 5
    And this 
    is how we 
    find 

    Secrets that 
    slipped 
    our grip 

    Over 
    wit and 
    charm 

    on whispered 
    breath 

    Frantically 
    fishing 
    for 

    familiarness on fingertips 

    And 
    this is 
    just, 
    shit, 
    what is this? 

    This 
    is redress 

    Verse 6
    I know her 
    cane 
    is just 
    a comedy 

    Tin 
    cup's 
    a crutch 
    for crippled 
    honesty 

    Her 
    slain 
    perception's lame 

    deception 

    What's 
    astonishing, 
    we 
    bought 
    it, see 

    Every 
    Harry, 
    Dick, and 
    Tom, 

    left 
    her 
    very 
    fickle 
    palms 

    Palming 
    a broken 
    promise 

    ring, you 
    follow 
    me? 

    Verse 7
    A hundred 
    strong 
    men 
    choked 
    on a bit 

    While 
    the blind 
    bride 
    guides 

    the bridle 
    toward 
    the abyss 

    And this 
    can only 
    end 
    wrong 

    But 
    motherfuck it, that's 
    the 

    reason 
    why 
    I wrote 
    this song 

    Verse 8
    know 
    leaving's your living, 

    built 
    in your bones 

    No one 
    can ever 
    escape 
    all 

    of their ghost

    So 
    if 
    you walk, 

    you better 
    learn 
    how to run 

    That's 
    why 
    I wrote 
    this 
    song 

    Verse 9
    Your 
    contrail's coated 
    in broken 
    homes 


    You polished 
    up this 
    pretty 

    pearl 
    of a hope 

    That 
    I won't parade 
    your skeletons 

    for 
    every
    one 

    That's 
    why 
    I wrote 
    this 
    song 

    Lionel 
    Terray 
    said 
    it the truest, 
    I set 
    Verse 10

    it to music 

    We're all "Conquistadors 

    of the Useless" 

    What 
    kind 
    of fool is 
    so 
    stupid 
    to climb 

    a mountain 
    to 
    do 
    it 

    Then climb 
    back 
    down to the 
    town 

    without 
    a picture 
    to prove 
    it? 

    I knew 
    it 

    Verse 11
    From 
    the moment 
    I saw 
    your eyes 
    flash 
    wide 
    in the crowd 


    That you would 
    cut 
    and run, it's 
    too 

    late to 
    turn 
    back now 

    It's when those 
    burnt 
    black cloud

    submerge 
    the 
    Earth 
    in shroud 

    That 
    king
    s earn 
    that 
    crown 

    Verse 12
    And this 
    is how 
    we rise 
    by 
    taking 
    a fall 

    Survive 
    another 
    winter 
    on 
    straight 

    to the thaw 

    One day you'll 
    learn to 
    strain 

    the tea through 
    your teeth

    And maybe 
    find 
    the strength 

    to proceed 
    to the 
    peak 

    Verse 13
    Press 
    on 
    into the 
    thin 
    again 

    till I cannot 
    breathe 

    swallowed 
    so much 
    of my 
    damn 

    pride 
    that it chokes 
    me 

    The real 
    risk 
    is not a 
    slipped grip 

    at the 
    edge 
    of the peak

    The real 
    danger 
    is just to 
    linger 

    at the 
    base 
    of the thing 

    Verse 14
    know 
    leaving's your living, 

    built 
    in your bones 

    No one 
    can ever 
    escape 
    all 

    of their ghost

    So 
    if 
    you walk, 

    you better 
    learn 
    how to run 

    That's 
    why 
    wro
    te 
    this 
    song 

    Verse 15
    Your 
    contrail's coated 
    in broken 
    homes 


    You polished 
    up 
    this pretty 

    pearl 
    of a hope 

    That 
    I won't parade 
    your skeletons 

    for 
    every
    one 

    That's 
    why 
    I wrote 
    this 
    song 

    Verse 16
    That's 
    why 
    I wrote 
    this 
    song (that's why 
    I wrote this 

    song) 

    That's why 
    I wrote 
    this 
    song 
    (that's why I 

    wrote 
    this 
    song) 

    That's why 
    I wrote 
    this 
    song 

    (that's why 
    I wrote this song) 

    I know 
    you know 
    the words, 
    so 
    sing 
    along

    • 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.
