    Verse 1
    Forms 
    are loosely 
    fitting 

    Jury 
    still 
    are sitting 

    Sense 
    of 
    duty 
    keeps 
    us 
    all 
    in mo
    tion 

    Prison 
    sirens 
    wailing 

    That 
    se
    curity 
    is 
    failing 

    Do 
    not 
    inspire 
    a lifetime 
    of 
    devo
    tion 

    No 
    one 
    will 
    sympath
    ize 

    No 
    one 
    really 
    tries 

    They 
    need 
    a faith 
    that leads 

    them 
    like 
    a drum 

    And I 
    can 
    hear it 
    pounding 

    down 
    among 
    the 
    ruins 

    Sad 
    to say, 
    don't 
    think 
    I'm 
    the only 
    one. 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 2
    awoke 
    and 
    someone 
    spoke 

    They 
    asked 
    me 
    in 
    a whisper 

    If all 
    my dreams 
    and 
    visions 

    had 
    been answered 

    And I 
    don't know 
    what 
    to say 

    never 
    even 
    pray 

    I just 
    feel 
    the pulse 
    of 

    universal 
    dan
    cers 

    They'll 
    waltz 
    me 
    till I 
    die 

    They'll 
    never 
    tell 
    me why 

    never 
    stop 
    to ask 
    them 

    where 
    we're go
    ing 

    Yes, 
    but the 
    holy, 
    the pro
    fane 

    Are all 
    helplessly 
    insane 

    Wishful, 
    hopeful, 
    never 
    even 
    know
    ing. 

    Interlude 2



    And they 
    asked if I 
    believe 
    And 
    do the angels 
    Verse 3

    really grieve 

    Or 
    is it all 
    a comforting 
    in
    vention? 

    It's just 
    like gravity, 
    I said 

    It's not a pro
    duct of 
    my head 

    It doesn't 
    speak, 

    but nonetheless 
    commands 
    attention 

    And I don't 
    care what 

    it means 

    Or who decorates 
    the scenes 

    The problem 
    is 
    more with 

    my sense 
    of pride 

    Because 
    it keeps 
    me thinking 
    "me" 

    In
    stead of what 
    it is 
    to be 

    I'm 
    not a passen
    ger, 
    I am 
    the ride 

    I'm not 
    a passen
    ger 

    am the ride

    • 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.
