From a Balance Beam chords by 
Bright Eyes
N/A•
Verse 1
D
There's a man holding a megaphone
A
D
He must have been the voice of God
A
D
The bystanders claimed
they saw angels
A
Flying up and down the block
G
Well, they must have been
attached to wires
Bm
I've seen one laying in
A
the lawn with a broken arm
So I called 911
D
Well, that's one less founded opinion
A
One more cause for a dispute
D
So the street filled like a basin
A
Up with cameras and their crews
G
And they washed away the rumors
D
Bm
Leaving just the concrete truth
A
It was a spectacle
No, I, I mean a miracle
D
So I fell like a girl from
A
a balance beam
D
A gymnasium of eyes,
G
all are holding on to me
I lifted one foot to cross the other
Bm
and I felt myself slipping
A
It was a small mistake
G
Sometimes that's all it takes
Verse 2
Bm
G
Now I'm staring at my wrist
A
Hoping that the timing is right
D
When the planets will align
G
There will be no planets to align
Just the carcass of the sun
Gm
With little painted marbles
G
Spinning senseless through
D
an endless black sky
A
And so it never started And
Verse 3
D
it will never stop
Just like I am and you are
Verse 4
D
It was in a foreign hotel bathtub
A
D
I baptized myself in change
And one by one, I drowned all
A
G
A
of the people I had been
G
And I emerged to find the
Bm
parallels were fewer
I was cleansed
A
I looked in the mirror and
someone new was there
D
But I was as helpless as a chess piece
A
D
When I was lifted up by someone's hand
And delivered from the corner
A
My enemies had got me in
G
But in all of my salvation I still
Bm
felt imprisoned inside
A
That holding cell that is myself
D
A
So I wait for the day when I'll hear the key
D
A
As it turns in the lock and
G
the guard will say to me
A
G
"Oh, my patient prisoner,
Bm
you have waited for this day and finally
A
You are free, you are free,
you are freezing"
G
Now
Verse 5
Bm
G
I'm staring at the sun
A
Waiting for it to explode
D
Because a day is gonna come
G
Don't know when, but it will come
And we'll finally know the way
Gm
G
out of here
Verse 6
G
And I'll throw away this wrinkled map
And my chart of stars and compass,
cracked
And I'll climb that tree
all wet with sap
To avoid the hungry beasts below
I'll cut out my lover's tongue and sing
Of a graveyard grey
and a garden green
And we won't have to worry no more
No, we won't have to wonder again
About how this song or story ends
About how this song and story will end

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
