Am
G

Am
I know, leaving's your living,
G
built in your bones
No one can ever escape
Em
all of their ghosts
So if you walk,
F
you better learn how to run

Your contrail's coated in broken homes

You polished up this pretty

F
G

Am

Verse 4
She always made the best
of deaf and blind
G
Fashionable dress of canes and signs
Tracing their apparel,
Em
like a judge of character in Braille
She never missed a lift,
a bump or a line
F
But fingertips will drift and miss
blip from time to time
Verse 5
And this is how we find
Am
Secrets that slipped our grip
Over wit and charm
G
on whispered breath
Frantically fishing for
familiarness on fingertips
Em
F
And this is just, shit, what is this?
This is redress
Verse 6
Am
I know her cane is just a comedy
Tin cup's a crutch for crippled honesty
G
Her slain perception's lame
deception
Em
What's astonishing, we bought it, see
Every Harry, Dick, and Tom,
F
left her very fickle palms
Palming a broken promise
Am
ring, you follow me?
Verse 7
G
A hundred strong men choked on a bit
While the blind bride guides
Em
the bridle toward the abyss
And this can only end wrong
F
But motherfuck it, that's the
G
reason why I wrote this song
C
I
Verse 8

G
Lionel Terray said it the truest, I set
Verse 10
it to music
We're all "Conquistadors
of the Useless"
Em
E
What kind of fool is so stupid to climb
Em
a mountain to do it
F
Then climb back down to the town
C
without a picture to prove it?
Am
I knew it
Verse 11
From the moment I saw your eyes flash wide in the crowd
G
That you would cut and run, it's too
Em
late to turn back now
Am
It's when those burnt black clouds
F
submerge the Earth in shroud
G
Am
That kings earn that crown
Verse 12
G
And this is how we rise by taking a fall
Survive another winter on straight
Em
to the thaw
One day you'll learn to strain
F
the tea through your teeth
And maybe find the strength
to proceed to the peak
Verse 13
Am
Press on into the thin again
till I cannot breathe
F
G
I swallowed so much of my damn
F
pride that it chokes me
Em
The real risk is not a slipped grip
Am
at the edge of the peak
The real danger is just to linger
G
at the base of the thing
Am
I
Verse 14

song)

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
