    Verse 1
    Eight 
    years 
    old 

    I 
    was 
    in love 
    with 
    a girl 

    Eight 
    years 
    old 

    My 
    only 
    love 
    meant 
    the 
    world 

    We'd hang 
    out 

    Play catch 
    and 
    kiss 
    at lunch 
    time 

    I 
    was young 
    she 

    was something 
    to 
    call 
    mine 

    I'd 
    be lying 
    if 
    I said 
    I was not 

    Devastated 
    and broken 
    when she 

    Opened 
    my hand 
    slid 
    hers 
    in 

    Then 
    walked 
    away 

    Verse 2
    It was bad 

    The 
    only 
    eight year 
    old kid 

    sui
    cidal 

    In the school 

    Convinced 
    I was down 
    to 
    survival 

    Melodramatic 
    in my 
    usual 
    way 

    I 
    was sure 
    that 
    the whole 

    world 
    would end 

    When 
    the girl 
    left 
    that 
    day 

    An
    d it did 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 3
    Seventeen 
    years 
    old 

    Rid
    ing home 
    on 
    the bus 

    Seventeen 

    Looking 
    for 
    someone 
    to trust 

    The 
    seat next 
    to me 

    Sits 
    down 
    a girl 
    I 
    once 
    loved 

    She 
    looks at me 

    And then 
    I remember 
    her touch 

    She smiles 

    Then 
    touches 
    my 
    knee 

    All 
    of the sudden 
    I'm 
    eight 

    years 
    old 
    not 
    seventeen 

    Again 

    Verse 4

    Here's 
    this girl 

    I was 
    in love, 
    I was 
    eight 

    Almost 
    a decade 
    later 

    A decade 
    too 
    late 

    So 
    she smiles 

    Asks me "so 
    how 
    you 
    been?" 

    Then gives 
    me her number 
    to go 

    out 
    sometime 
    this 
    weekend 

    My 
    head 
    is spinning 
    it's 
    all 
    too 
    surreal 

    Deja 
    vu 
    doesn't 
    begin 
    to 
    describe 

    how 
    I 
    feel 


    So 
    I 
    laugh 

    There's 
    noth
    ing 
    to 
    say 

    Maybe 
    everything 
    in 
    my 
    life's 

    gonna 
    end 
    up 
    this 
    way

      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.
