Verse 1
D

I

Can

take this all, I can take all this from you
G

Just to spit in your eye,

just to laugh at your fears
D

I can take this all,

I can take all this from you
G

Just to spit in your eye,

just to laugh at your fears
Bm

I can take this all,
G

I can take all this from you
A

And you'll hear as a child

you played with the devil
G

Almost burned the house down

with your smoke and your candle
D

The clue was in the fallen down from
A

which you could no longer hide

The clue is in those tears,
G

the stumble and those tears
D

I can take this all,

I can take all this from you
G

Just to keep you alive,

just to lighten your fears
D

I can take this all,

I can take all this from you
G

Just to keep you alive,

just to lighten your fears
Bm

I can take this all,
G

I can take all this from you
A

And I stake my claim on forty

years of prayer
G

And I stake my claim on forty

years of curses
D

And all those years you left me bewildered
A

But I am feeling very mortal

right now
G

And feathers are falling left,

right and centre

Feathers are falling left, right and centre
D

Please say goodbye to those

you hold dear
G

For that frivolity and fun

can no longer deliver
D

Please say goodbye to those

you hold dear
G

For that frivolity and fun

can no longer deliver
Bm

And I could take this all,
G

I could take knowledge from you
D

And remember I have a tender side

A side that cannot be
F#
Bm

But surrounded man from those songs
G

But sometimes he is real and sometimes he's

not the lucky one to be around
D

Remember I have a tender side,
F#

a side that cannot be fucked around
Bm

And the gal from those songs,

well sometimes she was real
G

Sometimes she was the

lucky one to be around
D

Please say goodbye to those

you hold dear
G

For the frivolity and fun

can no longer deliver
D

Please say goodbye to

those you hold dear
G

For the frivolity and fun

can no longer deliver
Bm

And I can take this all,
G

I can take all this from you
D

One fun morning we turned up at his heads
G

with a slight turn off a well -worn path
Bm

We drove to it like sailors just losing our way in
G

the mess and the noise of a landlocked world
D

And as we walked through it all, spying a young sparrow hawk,
G

slowing and gaining just words in progress
Bm

I watched the tops of the trees as they shed
G

and tickled the airspace high above our heads
D

In a few drops of rain and you opened and closed your tiny eye
G
Bm

s as though I am to blame or could muster an answer

Believe it or not,
G

I fear I will miss this when you're past
D

Young enough to carry the clamp

of the legs and the bury of the head
G

A long forgotten
Bm

And the clamp of the legs

and the bury of the head
G

A long forgotten
D

And please say goodbye

to those you hold dear
G

For the frugalty and fun

can no longer deliver
Bm

But I can take us all,

I can take all this money
G

Just to spin your eye,

just to laugh at your fears
D

I can take us all,

I can take all this money
G

Just to keep you alive,

just to laugh at your fears
Bm

I could take my soul,

I could take all this body
G

Just to live your life,

just to laugh at your fear
D

  • 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.
