    feet 
    bit

    livin'll break 
    young

    Beautiful

    me 

    I fly 
    above 
    'em 
    all 
    the time, 

    straight

    cloud 
    nine

    dirt 

    Hidin' 
    smokes 
    in 
    the 
    pocket 

    of 
    homemade 
    shirt 

    Runnin' 
    laps 
    in 
    the 
    yard 
    until 
    my 
    little 

    legs 
    hurt 
    and

    Six 
    feet 
    of 
    air 
    off 
    a plywood 
    ramp 

    Dad's 
    welding 
    machine 

    parked 
    where 
    would 
    land 

    All 
    could 
    taste 
    was 
    blood, 

    all 
    could 
    feel 
    were 
    the 
    rocks 

    In 
    the palms 
    of 
    my 
    hands 

    Verse 8
    was 
    a country 
    kid 
    throwin' 

    parties 
    in 
    the woods 

    Draggin' 
    my 
    friends 
    out 
    of 

    their 
    neighborhoods 

    Jealous 
    of 
    their 
    cable 
    TV

    their 
    girls 
    next 
    door 

    Verse 9

    Slip
    pin' 
    off 
    into 
    the dark 

    of 
    the 
    night 

    The shape 
    of 
    body 
    traced 
    by 
    moonlight 

    Inter
    rupted 
    by 
    some 
    other 
    kid 

    wantin' 
    to 
    fight 
    over 
    her

    Verse 10
    Then 
    grew 
    up 
    and 
    hit 
    the city 

    But 
    the sky
    scrapers 
    never 
    get 
    me 

    I fly 
    above 
    'em 
    all

    • 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.
