  • Verse 1
    When panic 
    grips 
    your 
    body 
    and your 

    heart is 
    humming
    bird 

    Raven 
    thoughts 
    blacken 
    your 
    mind 

    until you're breath
    ing 
    in 
    re
    verse 

    All your 
    friends 
    and sed
    atives 
    mean 
    well, 

    but 
    make 
    it 
    worse 

    Every 
    reas
    surance 
    just 

    magnifies 
    the doubt 

    Better find 
    your
    self 
    a place 

    to 
    level 
    out 

    Verse 2

    Got 
    cricket 
    for 
    a conscience, 

    always 
    looks 
    the 
    other way 

    A cocaine 
    soul 
    starts 
    seeming 
    like 

    an empty 
    cab
    aret 

    Hey, where 
    have all 
    the dan
    cers 
    gone? 

    Now the 
    music 
    does
    n't 
    play 

    Tried to 
    listen 
    to 
    the river 
    but you 

    couldn't 
    shut 
    your mouth 

    Better 
    take 
    a little 
    time 
    to 
    level 
    out 

    Verse 3
    I never 
    thought 
    of run
    ning 

    My 
    feet just 
    led 
    the 
    way 

    Verse 4

    Mixed 
    up signals 

    Bullet 
    train 

    Cars 
    are switched 
    out 

    in the 
    crazy 
    rain 

    I could 
    meet 
    you 
    any 
    place 

    If the 
    brake
    man 
    turns 

    my 
    way 

    Verse 5

    All this 
    automatic 
    writing 

    I have tried 
    to 
    under
    stand 

    From 
    psychedelic angel 
    who was 

    tugging 
    on 
    my hand 

    It's an in
    finite 
    coin
    cidence 

    but it 
    doesn't 
    form 
    a plan 

    So 
    I'm 
    headed 
    for 
    New 
    England 

    or the 
    Paris 
    of 
    the South 

    Going to find 
    myself 
    some
    where 

    to 
    level 
    out 

    Verse 6

    Are your 
    brothels 
    full, 
    oh Babylon, 

    with 
    merry 
    middle
    men? 

    Never peer 
    out 
    of 
    their periscopes 
    from 

    those deep 
    opium 
    dens 

    All this death 
    must 
    need 
    a counter
    weight, 

    always 
    someone 
    born 
    again 

    First 
    mother 
    bathes 
    her child, 

    then the 
    other 
    way 
    around 

    The 
    scales 
    always 
    find 
    a way 

    to 
    level 
    out 

    Verse 7

    I tried to 
    pass 
    for noth
    ing 

    But my 
    dreams 
    gave me 
    away 

    Verse 8

    Mixed up 
    signals 

    Bullet 
    train 

    People 
    snuffed 
    out 
    in the 
    brutal 
    rain 

    I could 
    live 
    to 
    any 
    age 

    If the 
    brake
    man 
    turns 
    my 
    way 

    Verse 9
    It 
    is an 
    old 
    world, 

    it's 
    hard 
    to 
    remember 

    Like 
    dime 
    store 
    mys
    tery 

    I'm 
    repeat 
    first 

    time 
    of
    fender

    Who has 
    rewritten 
    history 

    Verse 10
    Mixed 
    up 
    tea 
    leaves 

    Phantom 
    pain 

    Fuzzy 
    logic 
    in 
    the 
    the 
    crazy 
    rain 

    Getting 
    better 
    every 
    day 

    If 
    the 
    brakeman 
    turns 
    my 
    way 

    Verse 11
    Mixed 
    up 
    signals 

    Bullet 
    train 

    Cars 
    are switched 
    out 
    in 

    the 
    blinding 
    rain 

    He'll 
    be smiling 
    as 
    he 
    seals 
    my 
    fate 

    When 
    the 
    brake
    man 
    turns 
    my 
    way

    • 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.
