    Verse 1
    She took 
    me 
    to 
    a secret 
    place 

    Not 
    knowing 
    that I 
    had 
    been 
    there 

    before 

    And I struggle 
    with 
    the 
    memories 

    Already 
    lingering 
    behind 

    the doors 

    Verse 2
    Deciding 
    in 
    an instant 
    not 

    to 
    bring 
    it 
    up 

    I slapped 
    a smile 
    on 
    my face 

    Blocked 
    my 
    tongue 
    with 
    my 
    teeth 

    To 
    keep 
    it 
    from 
    falling 
    out 

    And 
    on 
    the 
    Verse 3
    bed 
    well 
    it 
    came 
    to 
    her 

    All 
    the 
    reasons 
    for getting 

    away 

    Yeah, they 
    poured 
    out 
    all 
    over 
    me 

    They poured 
    out 
    in 
    anger 

    and 
    in rage 

    And she 
    said, 
    "Well, 
    Verse 4

    I 
    don't 
    know 
    what 
    it 
    is 

    Why 
    we 
    are 
    falling 
    apart 

    I only 
    know 
    that 
    I 
    am 
    not 
    happy 

    Not 
    only, 
    I know 
    that 
    you're 

    breaking 
    my 
    heart 

    But 
    I 
    won't 
    lay 
    here 
    an
    d 
    judge 
    you 

    'Cause 
    everybody 
    goes 

    through 
    their 
    stuff 

    But 
    your 
    stuff 
    is 

    drowning 
    us" 

    'Cause 
    the 
    liquid 
    is 
    Verse 5
    killing 
    her 

    It's 
    washing 

    her 
    away 

    It's 
    pulling 
    her 
    un
    der 

    a 
    veil 
    of 
    white 

    And 
    beneath 
    the dead 
    mermaids 

    Are 
    screaming 
    out 
    her 

    name 

    They're screaming 
    out 
    her 
    name 

    Hered
    ity, 
    yeah, 
    yeah, 

    yeah 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 6
    So 
    brought 
    the conversation 

    You 
    know 
    that it 
    all 
    came 

    back 
    around 

    And 
    the out of the 
    one 
    constant 
    evil 

    That 
    grew 
    in 
    small 
    town
    s 

    And 
    she 
    said, 
    "Well, 
    why 
    do 
    you 
    do 
    it? 

    Why 
    do 
    you 
    let 
    yourself 
    go?" 

    And 
    I 
    replied 

    I 
    have 
    no 
    answer 
    for a 
    ques
    tion 

    with so 
    many 
    years 
    to 
    go 

    Verse 7
    But the 
    liquid 
    is 
    killing 

    her

    It's 
    washing 
    her 
    away 


    It's

    her 
    un
    der 
    a 
    veil 
    of 
    white 

    And

    out 
    her 

    name

    a beginning 

    and 
    an 
    ending 

    On 
    the same 
    hotel 
    floor 

    And 
    then 
    I 
    think 
    of 
    her 
    walking 

    alone 
    in 
    the dark 

    There were 
    tears 
    of 

    surrender

    And 
    with 
    a stomach 
    full 
    of 
    knots 

    And she's

    should 
    have 
    said

    I'm 
    not 
    ready 
    to 

    let 
    this 
    love 
    go"

    under 
    a 
    veil

    white 

    And

    Are screaming 
    out

      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.

      "

      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.
