    • Verse 1
    So 

    who 
    was 
    first? 

    Obvi
    ously 
    not 
    me. 

    She's 
    locked 
    up 
    inside 
    herself 

    And 
    I can't 
    get 
    anything 
    free 

    So 
    won't 
    somebody 
    tell 
    me 
    please 

    Why 
    the 
    former 
    owner 
    al

    ways 
    keeps 
    the 
    keys. 

    There's 
    no 
    bubbles 
    Verse 2
    to burst 

    No burst
    ing 
    out 
    crying 
    nor 

    dy
    ing 
    of thirst 

    She's 
    utterly 
    tied 
    to some
    body 
    else 

    And 
    it 
    seems 
    he 
    got 
    there 
    first. 

    And no, 
    I'm not 
    un
    tying 

    The re
    ins 
    around 
    her 
    neck 
    that 
    she 
    feels 

    And 
    I won't 
    try 
    to prise 
    out 

    of 
    her 
    the truth 
    anymore 

    When 
    she lies 
    about 

    the things 
    that 
    she 
    sees 

    Be
    cause 
    the former 
    owner 
    al
    ways 
    keeps 
    the 
    keys. 

    Interlude 1






    There's 
    Verse 3
    no 
    call
    ing 

    "come 
    here, 

    you're necessary 
    to 
    me." 

    There's 
    no 
    excitement 
    in 

    her 
    face 
    when 
    I 
    im
    plore 

    "corrupt 
    me 
    and 
    confess 
    to 

    me 
    some 
    more." 

    And when 
    we 
    hear 
    trees 
    falling 

    or 
    see 
    people 
    disappearing 

    Her 
    emo
    tions 
    won't 
    be 

    reached 
    or 
    released, 

    Be
    cause 
    the former 
    own
    er 

    is 
    keeping 
    the 
    keys 

    Verse 4
    Like 
    a tick
    et 
    inspector 

    running 
    for 
    a bus 

    Irony's re
    venge 
    surrounds 
    us. 

    And it's 
    ironic 
    that he 
    prom
    ised 

    you 
    he'd never 
    let 
    you 
    go 

    When 
    he's 
    left 
    you 
    used-up 

    and 
    and 
    dis
    turbed 

    And 
    I said 
    "just 
    as 
    the 
    early 

    bird 
    catches 
    the worm 

    The 
    early 
    cat 
    catches 
    the 
    bird" 

    But 
    that 
    former 
    owner 
    is 
    keeping 
    his 
    word

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
