    Verse 1
    I

    in 
    bloom 

    I

    the coun
    tryside 

    With 
    my 
    net 
    and 
    my 
    bait 

    And 
    a pocket
    ful 
    of

    er twine 

    I 
    break 
    the 
    promises 
    I 
    made

    all 
    the butter

    Verse 3
    I 
    ru
    in 

    Everything 

    As 
    I sit 
    in 
    a field 
    of 
    grass 

    In 
    the 
    spring 

    Listening 

    To 
    the 
    beat 
    of 
    its 
    little 
    heart 

    And 
    to 
    it
    s 
    wings 

    Struggling 

    For 
    air 
    under 
    an 
    upturned

    I 
    put

    its 
    wings 

    Verse 4

    my 
    heart

    Just 
    as

    bees 

    And 
    my 
    own 
    little 
    in
    securit
    ies 

    I 
    creep 
    around 
    in 
    the 
    dark 
    Verse 6

    And 
    I tear 
    up 
    all 
    the dandelions 

    And 
    I 
    break 
    my 
    own 
    heart 

    As 
    I 
    box 
    up 
    all 
    the 
    but
    terflies 

    Tirelessly, 
    Verse 7

    Following 

    Its 
    tiny 
    butterfly 
    tracks 

    Across 
    the 
    field 
    in

    plastic 
    carrier 
    bag 

    Full 
    of 
    fish, 
    Verse 8

    Hooks, 
    and 
    string 

    I 
    lay 
    a 
    little 
    matchbox 
    trap 

    And 
    I 
    put 
    pin 

    Through 
    its 
    wings 

    Verse 9
    And 
    I 
    bottle 
    it 
    up
    , 

    I 
    box 
    it 
    up 

    And 
    bury 
    it 
    in 
    my 
    heart 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 10
    I folded 
    up 
    its 
    furry 
    wing
    s 

    And 
    opened 
    up 
    its 
    little 
    heart 

    It 
    might 
    sound 
    stupid 

    But 
    something 
    about 
    it 
    made 
    me 

    want 
    to 
    pull 
    it 
    apart 

    Verse 11

    I 
    ru
    in 

    Everything 

    As 
    I sit 
    in

    of 
    its 
    little 
    heart 

    And 
    to 
    it
    s wings 

    Struggling 

    For 
    air 
    under 
    an 
    upturned 
    glass 

    And 
    I 
    put 
    a 
    pin 
    through

    bury

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
