    Verse 1
    was 
    raised 
    up 
    believing 

    was 
    somehow 
    unique 

    Like 
    snowflake 

    distinct 
    among 
    snowflakes, 

    u
    nique 
    in 
    each 
    way 
    you 
    can 
    see 

    And 
    now 
    after 
    some 
    thinking, 

    I'd 
    say 
    I'd 
    rather 
    be 

    functioning 
    cog 
    in 
    some 
    great 
    machinery 

    serving 
    something 
    beyond 
    me 

    Chorus 1
    But 
    don't, 
    don't 
    know 
    what 
    that 
    will 
    be 

    I'll 
    get 
    back 
    to 
    you 
    someday 
    soon 

    you 
    will 
    see 

    Verse 2
    What's 
    my 
    name, 
    what's 
    my 
    station? 

    Oh, 
    just 
    tell 
    me 
    what 
    should 
    do 

    don't 
    need 
    to 
    be 
    kind 
    to 
    the 
    armies 
    of 
    night 

    that 
    would 
    do 
    such 
    injustice 
    to 
    you 

    Or 
    bow 
    down 
    and 
    be 
    grateful 

    and 
    say, 
    "Sure, 
    take 
    all 
    that 
    you 
    see" 

    To 
    the 
    men 
    who 
    move 
    only 
    in 
    dimly-lit 
    halls 

    and 
    de
    termine 
    my 
    future 
    for 
    me 

    Chorus 2
    And 
    don't, 
    don't 
    know 
    who 
    to 
    be
    lieve 

    I'll 
    get 
    back 
    to 
    you 
    someday 
    soon 

    you 
    will 
    see 

    Verse 3
    If 
    know 
    only 
    one 
    thing, 

    it's 
    that 
    everything 
    that 
    see 

    Of 
    the 
    world 
    outside 
    is 
    so 
    inconceivable 

    often 
    barely 
    can 
    speak 

    Yeah 
    I'm 
    tongue-tied 
    and 
    dizzy 

    and 
    can't 
    keep 
    it 
    to 
    myself 

    What 
    good 
    is 
    it 
    to 
    sing 
    helplessness 
    blues, 

    why 
    should 
    wait 
    for 
    anyone 
    else? 

    Chorus 3
    And 
    know, 
    know 

    you 
    will 
    keep 
    me 
    on 
    the 
    shelf 

    I'll 
    come 
    back 
    to 
    you 
    someday 
    soon 


    Interlude 1
    (my
    self) 



    Verse 4
    If 
    had 
    an 
    orchard, 

    I'd 
    work 
    'til 
    I'm 
    raw 

    If 
    had 
    an 
    orchard, 

    I'd 
    work 
    'til 
    I'm 
    sore 

    And 
    you 
    would 
    wait 
    ta
    bles 

    and 
    soon 
    run 
    the 
    store 

    Verse 5
    Gold 
    hair 
    in 
    the 
    sunlight, 

    my 
    light 
    in 
    the 
    dawn 

    If 
    had 
    an 
    orchard, 

    I'd 
    work 
    'til 
    I'm 
    sore 

    If 
    had 
    an 
    or
    chard 

    I'd 
    work 
    'til 
    I'm 
    sore 

    Outro 1






    Some
    day 
    I'll 
    be 
    like 

    the 
    man 
    on 
    the 
    screen

    • 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.
