    ["I
    f 
    I 
    Verse 1

    Was 
    the 

    Kind"] 

    inclined 
    to 
    cry. 
    I'd 
    cry 
    for 

    the 
    strings 
    I 
    cut 
    loose. 

    An
    d 
    I'd 
    cry 
    for 
    the 
    bridges 
    I 
    bent. 

    Just 
    to 
    make 
    myself 
    a 
    little 

    room 
    to 
    move. 

    Now 
    I'm 
    full 
    up 
    with 
    lessons 

    learned 
    an
    d 
    the 

    days 
    that 
    I 
    made 
    just 
    to 
    throw 
    them 
    away 

    now 
    I'm 
    closing 
    all 
    the curtains 

    I'm 
    switching 
    off 
    the 
    phone 
    now 

    I took 
    down 
    all your 
    cameras 

    and 
    I 
    opened 
    the 
    fridge 
    and 

    hun
    g 
    from 
    the 
    hinges 

    with 
    the 
    eggs 
    and 
    garlic 
    the 

    cheese 
    and 
    toma
    toes 

    the 
    milk 
    and 
    the 
    beer 
    the 

    strings 
    and 
    the 
    bridges 

    of 
    a 
    brand 
    new 
    year. 

    The first 
    tier 
    was 
    a 
    note, 

    and 
    the 
    note 
    made 
    a 
    song, 
    and 
    I 
    hung 

    the 
    song 
    from 
    the 
    hinges 
    of 
    the 
    door. 

    Then 
    I 
    carried 
    on 
    just 
    the 

    same 
    as 
    before, 
    and 

    nothing 
    got 
    different, 

    and 
    nothing 
    got 
    changed. 

    But 
    a new 
    tune 
    gets 

    sweeter 
    and 
    simpler 
    with 

    If 
    you 
    leave 
    it 
    alone, 
    if 
    you 
    leave 
    it 
    alone 

    If 
    you leave 
    it 
    alone, 

    it gets 
    sweeter 
    and 

    And simpler, 
    and 
    softer, 
    and 
    slower, 
    and 
    younger, 

    the 
    longer 
    you 
    leave 
    it 
    alone. 


    So 
    I 
    wrote 
    you 
    a 
    note 
    and 

    the 
    note 
    read 

    There's 
    so 
    much 
    good 
    si

    lence 
    in 
    the 
    emptiest 
    heads 

    I 
    had 
    tipped 
    my 
    mouth 

    towards 
    pillowless 
    beds 

    And 
    poured 
    out 
    my 
    brains 

    and 
    my 
    guts 
    into 
    years 

    And 
    for 
    each 
    dear 
    black 
    sentence, 

    a 
    sheer 
    lack 
    of 
    tears 

    No, 
    I 
    don't 
    want 
    those 
    words 
    back, 

    I 
    don't 
    miss 
    those 
    years 

    But 
    if 
    I 
    could 
    hold 
    your 
    knees 
    again, 

    under 
    my 
    chin 
    again 

    If 
    I 
    could 
    kiss 
    your 
    nose, 

    us 
    both 
    brittle 
    and 
    thin 
    again 

    Maybe 
    then, 
    maybe 
    then, 

    I 
    could 
    get 
    light 
    again 

    Maybe 
    then, 
    maybe 
    then, 

    I could 
    get 
    light 
    again 

    If 
    I 
    could 
    kiss 
    your 
    toes, 

    kiss 
    your 
    ribs, 
    kiss 
    your 
    fingers 

    Well, 
    maybe 
    then, 
    maybe 
    then, 
    I 
    could 
    get 
    light, 
    and 
    then 
    I 
    would 
    be 
    light, 

    I 
    would 
    be 
    light, 
    I 
    would 
    be 
    light, 
    I 
    would 
    be 
    light 

    Ah, 
    but 
    if 
    you leave 
    it 
    alone 

    If 
    you leave 
    it 
    alone 

    If 
    you 
    leave 
    it 
    alone 

    It 
    gets 
    sweeter 
    and 
    simpler 

    And 
    softer 
    and 
    slower 

    And 
    younger 
    the 
    longer 

    You 
    leave 
    it 
    alone 

    Leave 
    it 
    alone 






    Thank you for watching!

      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 🙂

      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.
