    Way 
    down, 
    Verse 1
    way 
    far 
    under
    ground 

    We 
    got 
    started 
    at 
    the 
    bottom 

    of 
    the 
    basement 

    We 
    didn't 
    stretch 
    to come 
    to 
    a 
    sound 

    We'd 
    just 
    play 
    until 
    we 
    found 

    the 
    proper 
    placement 

    And 
    it 
    was all 
    right 

    It 
    was 
    just 
    the 
    way 
    we used 
    to do 
    it 

    But 
    now 
    the 
    times 
    have 
    changed 

    and all 
    the 
    questions 
    too 

    Like 
    why 
    bother 
    to 
    pursue 
    it 

    Verse 2
    For 
    far 
    too 
    many, 
    many 
    years 

    I'd 
    ask 
    myself 
    the same 

    thing 
    everyday 

    What 
    do 
    I 
    want 
    and 
    where 
    should 
    I 
    do 

    Is 
    playing 
    music 
    just 
    leading 
    me 
    astray 

    I 
    didn't 
    think 
    so 

    And 
    all 
    my 
    sisters 
    convinced 
    me 

    that 
    I 
    should 
    keep 
    it 
    up 

    Because 
    it 
    was 
    embedded 

    in my 
    blood 
    type, 
    oh 

    Verse 3

    All 
    that 
    we 
    needed 
    was 
    four 
    tracks 

    and maybe 
    some 
    paint 
    fumes 

    And 
    the desire 
    for 
    creation 
    was 
    away 

    It 
    always 
    sounded 
    good, 

    and 
    we 
    knew 
    it 
    would 

    We 
    never 
    dreamed 
    that 

    one 
    day 
    it 
    would 
    pay 

    And 
    now 
    we're 
    slowly 
    wak
    ing 
    up 

    I 
    had 
    the 
    strangest 
    dream 

    I 
    was 
    drown
    ing 
    in 
    a flooded 
    studio 

    coiled 
    in 
    cables 
    and 
    inputs 

    And I 
    was 
    coming 
    apart 
    at 

    Interlude 1
    the seams 



    Forty 
    track
    s 
    Verse 4

    Forty 
    mikes 

    Turn 
    up 
    the 
    heaters 
    and 
    fire 

    up 
    the 
    floodlight
    s 

    Because 
    we're 
    going 
    to be 

    here 
    for 
    a long 
    time 

    But 
    this 
    place 
    feels 
    right 

    because 
    this 
    is 
    our 
    space 

    And 
    we 
    can 
    do 
    what 
    we 
    want 
    when we 

    need 
    it and it's 
    on 
    our 
    own 
    dime 

    Verse 5

    And 
    now 
    I'm 
    raising 
    up 
    a 

    ballet 
    boy 
    and 
    a 
    hockey 
    girl 

    And 
    I've 
    a wife 
    that 
    I really 
    love 

    Truly, 
    dearly, 
    completely, 

    and 
    hopefully 
    so 

    Somebody's 
    watching 
    over 
    from 
    above 

    Just 
    who, 
    I 
    can't 
    say 

    I 
    try 
    to 
    rationalize 
    it in 
    my 
    own 
    way 

    These 
    are 
    the 
    reasons 
    that 
    you 
    do 
    what 

    you do 
    and 
    I 
    can 
    be 
    satisfied 

    With 
    a 
    life 
    of less 
    work 
    and 

    more 
    play 

    Poor me

      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 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.
