    If 
    Verse 1

    we 
    seek 
    solace 
    in 
    the prisons 
    of 
    the 
    distant 
    pas

    Security 
    in 
    human 
    systems 
    we're 

    told 
    will 
    always 
    always 
    last 

    Emotions 
    are 
    the 
    sail 
    and 

    blind 
    faith 
    is 
    the mast 

    Without 
    the 
    breath 
    of 
    real 
    freedom 

    we're 
    getting 
    nowhere 
    fast 

    Verse 2
    If 
    God 
    is 
    dead 
    and 
    an 
    actor 
    plays 
    his 
    part 

    His 
    words 
    of 
    fear 
    will 
    find 

    place 
    in 
    your 
    heart 

    Without 
    the 
    voice 
    of 
    reason 
    every 

    faith 
    is 
    its 
    own 
    curse 

    Without 
    freedom 
    from 
    the 
    past 
    things 

    can 
    only 
    get 
    worse 

    Verse 3
    Sooner 
    or 
    later 
    just 
    like the world 

    first 
    day 

    Sooner 
    or 
    later 
    we learn 

    to throw 
    the 
    past 
    away 

    Sooner 
    or 
    later 
    just 
    like 

    the world 
    first 
    day 

    Sooner 
    or 
    later 
    we learn 

    to throw 
    the 
    past away 

    Sooner 
    or 
    later 
    we learn 

    to 
    throw 
    the past 
    away 

    Verse 4
    History 
    will teach 
    us 
    nothing 

    Verse 5
    History 
    will 
    teach us 
    nothing 

    Our 
    written 
    history 
    is 

    a catalog 
    of crime 

    The sordid 
    and 
    the powerful, 

    the 
    architects 
    of 
    time 

    The 
    mother 
    of 
    invention, 

    the 
    oppression 
    of 
    the mild 

    The 
    constant 
    fear 
    of 
    scarcity, 

    aggression 
    as 
    its 
    child 

    Verse 6

    Sooner 
    or 
    later 

    Sooner 
    or 
    later 

    Sooner 
    or 
    later 

    Verse 7
    Sooner 
    or 
    later 


    Convince 
    an 
    enemy, 

    convince 
    him 
    that 
    he's 
    wrong 

    Is 
    to 
    win 
    bloodless 
    battle 

    where victory 
    is 
    long 

    A simple 
    act 
    of faith 

    In 
    reason 
    over 
    might 

    To 
    blow 
    up 
    his 
    children 
    will 

    only 
    prove 
    him 
    right 

    History 
    will 
    teach 
    us 
    nothing 

    Sooner 
    or

    the 

    world 
    first 
    day 

    Sooner 
    or 
    later 
    we 
    learn to 

    throw 
    the pas
    away 

    Sooner 
    or 
    later 
    just 
    like 
    the 

    world 
    first 
    day 

    Sooner

    • 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.
