    island

    a month 
    and you 

    knew 
    you 
    were 
    dying 

    How 
    would you spend 
    your time 

    What 
    goodbyes 
    would 
    take 
    too 
    long 

    You 
    don't 
    like 
    this 
    game 

    and

    People 
    in 
    the pool 
    like 

    the drowning 
    army 

    Smoke 
    along 
    the moats 
    and 

    the

    can 
    dance

    you 
    want 
    to 
    make 
    a toast 

    To 
    the 
    ennui 
    of

    a mannequin 

    don't 
    know 
    what 
    it 
    means 

    when 
    he takes 
    my 
    pulse 

    And 
    says 
    that 
    I'm 
    a lot 
    like 
    him 

    I say 
    that's 
    fair 
    enough 
    that's 
    why 

    I'm try
    ing 
    to

    Verse 5
    Pretend 
    that 
    you 
    were stranded 

    on

    when 

    that 
    plane 
    was 
    flying 

    If 
    you 
    were 
    the pilot 
    would 
    you 

    curse 
    or 
    would 
    you 
    pray 

    No 
    one's 
    gonna 
    cry 
    at 

    this

    was 
    someone's 
    friend 

    Throw some 
    flowers 
    on 
    the grave

      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

      "

      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 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.

      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.
