Verse 1
D
G

Yesterday, I walked outside
D
G

Out into a sea of dust, arid and dry
C
D
G

And so hot and so unbelievably radiant

And unforgiving
C
D
G

And I watched myself go under
D
G

And I felt energy rising
D

And then I saw this woman
G

coming towards me
D

All heat and haze
G

But with a smile like a river
D

that swept me up
G

And I took my hand and I put it in hers
D
G

And I said, "Will you be

my spirit guide?"
D

And she said,
G
D

"You don't need a spirit guide
G

All you gotta do is ride
D

You just close your eyes
G

and then open them wide"
C

She said

Do something that scares you

C
Bb

Do something that scares you
D

And I washed my hands in the
G

clear green water
D

Rushing from the mountain like
G

some kind of absolution

Like a resurrection
D

I put my whole body into the water
G
D

Like I was transforming, a chrysalis
G

I could taste the dirt
D

The red earth on my tongue
G

And I felt like I was just a girl,
D

Seventeen, looking for something,
G

edgy and green
D

And bursting and beautiful
G

and undecipherable

With the reins held tight
D

And I felt like I was just
G

holding onto a thread
D

Taking off, ready for joy,
G

on a bird's wing, fragile
C

And I heard that voice
Bb
C
Bb
C

Do something that scares you

Do something that scares you

Do something that makes you feel
C
Bb

Do something that makes you feel
D

And I stood on the edge of that cliff
G

And I realized I was all alone
D

With no way up or down
G

And I was scared

And I started to climb
D

Up, up, up
G

And I could suddenly feel
Bm
D

And I could feel rain on my skin,
G

sweet and cold
D

And I could feel all the pain
G

from all the years
D

All the sweat and all the untold
G

passions and the tears
D
G

Like rain flowering in me so strong
D

Like jasmine, and releasing me

And I fell onto the sand
G

and I put up my hands
D

And I put up my body arms
G

And I cried with the rain
D
G

And I felt myself becoming myself
D

Like I was freed from the beliefs that
G

I'd been handed as a child
Bm
D

Like I could see the world from above
G

Like I could live pure
D

And I took off that red ribbon
G

from around my head
D

And I buried it under the yellow earth,
G

scratching at the sand
D

Burying it deeper and deeper
G

Into the heat, into the core

I said
C
Bb
C
Bb

I did something that scares me
C

I did something that scares me

I did something that makes me feel

I did something that makes me feel
C
Bb
D

I did something that makes me feel

  • 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.
