  • Intro 1






    When 
    you 
    were born, 
    you were 
    not 
    alone 
    Verse 1

    Nothing 
    was 
    carved 
    into 
    the stone

    Well, 
    yeah, 

    but 
    don't 
    forget: you 
    heard 
    someone 
    say 

    "it 
    won't 
    get 
    better 
    than 
    this." 

    That 
    was 
    the sound 
    of your 
    father 

    As 
    he held 
    you 
    up to 
    your 
    mother

    No 
    one 
    will 
    ever 
    know 
    love 
    as pure 
    as 

    The 
    one 
    that you 
    felt 
    right 
    then 

    They 
    held 
    you 
    Verse 2
    up, 

    they 
    held 
    you 
    up 

    And everybody 
    else, 

    they fell 
    to 
    the 
    wayside 

    This 
    is 
    the start, 
    be
    ginning 

    A prologue 
    to the 
    yarn 

    that you're 
    spinning 

    One 
    million 
    synonyms 
    will 
    never 
    come 

    Close 
    to de
    scribe 
    the feeling 

    Verse 3
    Don't 
    ever 
    leave. 
    cause 
    if 
    you 
    do, 
    dear 

    guaran
    tee 
    that 
    you'll 

    regret 
    the day 
    you 
    did 

    And 
    you'll 
    miss 
    all 
    the simple 
    things 

    And 
    you'll 
    see 
    everything 

    you 
    ever 
    loved 

    Start 
    fading 
    till 
    there's 

    nothing 
    left 
    but 
    dust 

    An
    d I 
    believe 
    that 
    Verse 4
    every 
    broken 

    bone 
    is meant 
    to 
    be 

    When 
    it 
    heals 
    it 
    will 
    be stronger 

    than 
    it 
    was 
    be
    fore 

    And I 
    see 
    the things 
    that 
    pre

    tend 
    that 
    I don't 
    see 

    And I 
    store 
    them 
    in 
    my 
    head, 
    love, 

    if 
    only 
    for 
    memories 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 5
    So 
    now 
    you're young 
    and you 

    feel 
    alone 
    his 
    wife 

    Friends, 
    family 
    and all the 
    good 

    things 
    now 
    surrounding 
    you 

    You 
    can't 
    helping 
    thinking, 
    oh 

    There's 
    gotta 
    be some 
    more 
    to do 

    When 
    all 
    the things 
    that you 

    cherished 
    turn 

    Into 
    burdens 
    and 
    there 
    is 

    no 
    other 
    path 
    to take 

    You 
    know 
    what you 
    gotta 
    do 

    but 
    you 
    don't 
    know 
    how 

    They 
    hold 
    you 
    Verse 6
    back; they 

    hold 
    you 
    down 

    And you're 
    gonna 
    feel 
    bad 

    but you 
    know 

    That you 
    gotta 
    get 
    out. 
    this 
    is 
    your pain 

    Your 
    dilemma: do you 

    stay 
    in the 
    town 
    where 

    They 
    raised 
    ya? 
    or 
    will 
    you 
    sail 
    away? 

    Pull 
    the 
    anchor 
    and go 
    in 

    it for what 
    come 
    what 
    may 

    Verse 7
    You 
    have 
    to leave, 

    cause 
    if 
    you 
    don't, 
    dear 

    You'll 
    never 
    see 
    the 
    things 

    that you 
    read 
    about 
    in 
    books 

    You 
    saw 
    the 
    films 
    and you 
    were 
    hooked 

    But 
    everything 
    you 
    want 

    will 
    come 
    to you 

    You realize 
    now 
    that you 
    gotta 

    come 
    see 
    this 
    through 

    And 
    be
    lieve 
    that 
    Verse 8
    every 
    broken 

    bone 
    is meant 
    to 
    be 

    When it 
    heals 
    it 
    will 
    be stronger 

    than 
    it 
    was 
    be
    fore 

    And 
    see 
    the 
    things 
    that 

    pre
    tend 
    that 
    I don't 

    See 
    and 
    I store 
    them 
    in 
    my 
    head, 
    love, 
    if 
    only 
    for 
    memories 

    Interlude 2












    be
    lieve 
    that 
    Verse 9
    every 
    broken 

    bone 
    is meant 
    to be 

    When 
    it 
    heals 
    it 
    will 
    be stronger 

    than 
    it 
    was 
    be
    fore 

    And 
    I see 
    the 
    things 
    that 
    pre
    tend 
    that 

    don't 
    see 
    and I 
    store 

    them 
    in 
    my 
    head 

    Love, 
    if 
    only 
    for 
    memories

    • 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.
