And the mealworms I mis

heard for lunch
G

Are rotting in my guts
D
A

With a childhood of fingernails
G

That ripped my throat to shreds
A

A walk that chimes like church bells
G

From all these loose joints in my legs
Verse 2
G
Em

These three lions that were

sitting on my chest
D

Are clawing hard into my skin

As I am gasping for my breath
G

And as they each play

noughts and crosses

On the scratches they have left
D

I have to screw up both my eyes
F#m

As it goes into sudden death.
Em

They whisper

"Really all these noughts

are circles holed, bereft
D

And all these crosses crucifixes,

Spreading guilt and sense of dread."
G

And as we stumbled homeward up the hill

To where you used to live
D

The cold makes ice upon our cheeks

From all the tears that we have shed

These things rattle round my head

If he hasn't blown the whistle

Verse 7
G

Where they're standing
Em

in the kit chen

With his arms around her waist
D

With no idea of what's to come

And a smile across your face
G

And all the fittings are the same

But every other thing has changed
D

Must forget everything you know

As though your mouth

and tongue estranged
Em

Small comforts found

in ABBA Gold

And electronic chess
D

When West Clewes was my Waterloo

My most dramatic test
G

Now I've been walking

down the shortcuts

And the alleys in the dark
D

Because I'm not scared

of the shadows

They're no blacker than my heart

  • 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.
