    my 
    eyes shut 
    tight 

    any wonder 
    that 
    i cannot 
    resist 

    punchin' 
    blindly 
    in 
    a fight 

    the first 
    time i 
    saw swans 

    flyin' 
    to 
    the sun 

    i wanted 
    to be 
    one 

    Verse 2

    every 
    mother's 
    son 

    when i 
    saw 
    my life 
    had 
    begun 

    i wanted 
    to 
    be 
    someone 

    like 
    my brother 
    and 
    my one 
    and 
    only

    to 
    fulfill 

    i was 
    taught 
    to defend 
    what 
    was 
    mine 

    and 
    instructed 
    not 
    to 
    kill 

    my 
    small 
    mortal 
    eyes can 
    see eternity 

    in 
    the clouds 
    that 
    dissolve 
    and 
    then 
    regroup endlessly

      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 🙂

      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.
