    a 
    thunderstorm 

    Searching 
    room 
    from 
    room 
    and 
    I 
    watched 

    color 
    draining 
    from

    face 

    Fog 
    lights 
    started 
    forming

    ing 
    snow 

    Backwards 
    down 
    Wick

    Road 

    I

    grow) 

    Strictly

    Kicked 
    you 
    out 
    to 



    teach 
    you 
    what 
    a man 
    is 

    But 
    I don't 
    think 
    I'll 
    ever 
    know 

    what 
    that 
    means 

    They'll

    it 

    They're 
    hateful 
    'cause 

    they're empty 

    We've got 
    a chance 
    to break 

    the cycle

      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.

      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.
