Verse 1
G
Em

He was in his room, half awake, half asleep
G

The walls of the room seem

to alter angles
D
Em
C
G

Elongating and shrinking alternately
D
Em

Then twisting around completely
C
G

so that he was on the opposite
D

Side of the room
Em
C

A trick of the light and too much caffeine,
G
Em
D
Ebdim
Em

he thought
G

Then came a knock on the door
Em

And this sound was the same dark-brown
G

tone tone as the wood of which
D

The door was made
Em
G
D

At first, he thought he'd imagined it
Eb
B
Em

Because it would not have been
G

out of place with the other
D
Em

Strange hallucinatory events of that night
G

But then it came again
D
Bm
Em

Only heavier this time
G
Em
B

With a sense of real urgency
Em

So pulling himself up
G
Em

And stepping through pools of
Bm

moonlight and shadow
G
D

He made his bleary way across
Em
G

the room towards the door
D
Em

And slowly, apprehensively,
G
D
Em

raised the latch
Verse 2
Em

The latch became a fingertip,
Bm
B
Em
D

touching his own
Em
G
Em

G
Em
G

Energy sapping as a new form,
Em

transversing the edge of his

Emotions
G

His power became his agony,
Em
D

his power knew no bounds
Em

Whereas before,
G
D

his peace withstood the vastness
Em

His prerogative became an endless
G
Em

force of the all impossible
G
Em
B

His final soul is flying
Em
D

with contempt only
Em

Even the legendary glance backward
G
D

to meet with eternity's stone
B
Em
G

In peace or save his already destroyed
D
B
Em
G
D
B
Em
G

You cannot share,

the temperature is rising
G
D
Em

G
Em
B
Em

This...
G
D
Em

This...
Verse 3
G

He tried to will himself back to bed
D
Em
B
Em

He wanted desperately to feel the
G
D

reassuring crisp, white sheets
Em
D

Once taken for granted
Em
G

To be back home, safe as houses,
D

protected by walls covered in
Em

Familiar patterns
G

But even wallpaper had
D
Ebdim

become sinister to him
B
Em
G

He remembered staring into the
D
C

paisley print and seeing a
G

Repetition of skulls
D
Em

At night he would listen to the click

of heels on the concrete
C

Outside
D
Em

And try to ima gine the facial
C
G
D

features of the unseen figure
Em

He would always see his own face
G
D

And another realization of this proph
B
Em

ecy rang terrible and true

For at this moment, it was indeed,
G

his own feet that filled the
Em

Shoes
B

Shoes that no man would want
Em

to wear

G

Verse 4
Em
B
Em
G

Into the hills then to search for
D
Em

another searcher's closely
G

Held goals
D
Em
G

Into the forest under the
C
G
D
Eb

billowing leaves
B
Em
G
Em

Under the dreadful birds, the singing soil,
G
Em
G

the decrepid babies,
D
Eb
Em

The un happy new loves
G
D
B
Em

The preaching alphabetics,
G
D
B

the long-lost lovers never to find
Em

The safety of their mothers
G
D
Eb
Em

In fact, all the guilty clouds he
G
D
B

will move into a playground
Em
G

A sense of moonlight and shadow
D
Eb
B
Em
G
D
Em
B
Em
G

All the stars touch to the cold mol ten sunflower,
D
B

fly to his
Em
G
Em

Middle eye
G
D
Eb
B
Em

The wallpaper
G
B

had sinister tones
G
D
Eb
B

Alas, white cold
Em
G
Em
G
D
B

Alas, rainbow's middle
Em
G
D

infinity's destination.

  • 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.
