    Verse 1

    Islands, 

    from 
    the first 
    time 
    we 
    saw, 

    We could 
    wait 
    for 
    this 
    moment, 

    like 
    rocks 
    on 
    the 
    shore. 

    We can 
    never 
    be 
    closer, 
    somehow, 

    For 
    the moment 
    that 
    lasts, 

    is 
    this 
    moment 
    now. 

    When 
    the night's 
    on 
    fire, 

    will 
    you 
    keep 
    the candlelight 
    burning? 

    Hold 
    on 
    to 
    your 
    heart's 
    desire. 

    (When the 
    night's on 
    fire) 

    When 
    you see 
    one 
    bird 
    into 
    the 
    wind, 

    another 
    one's 
    turning, 

    And 
    the two 
    can 
    fly 
    much 
    higher. 

    We 
    are 
    islands, 
    but 
    never 
    too 
    far, 

    We 
    are 
    islands 

    And 
    I need 
    your 
    light 
    tonight, 

    And 
    I 
    need 
    your 
    light 
    tonight. 

    We 
    are 
    islands, 
    but 
    never 
    too 
    far, 

    We 
    are 
    islands 

    And 
    I 
    need 
    your 
    light 
    tonight, 

    And 
    I 
    need 
    your 
    light 
    tonight. 

    Islands, 
    never 
    been 
    to 
    before, 

    And 
    we climb 
    so 
    high 
    to 
    where 

    the 
    wild 
    birds 
    soar. 

    There's 
    a 
    new 
    path 
    that we 
    found 
    just 
    today, 

    I 
    was lost 
    in 
    the 
    forest 
    and 

    you showed 
    me 
    the 
    way. 

    When 
    the 
    night's 
    on 
    fire, 

    will you 
    keep 
    the candlelight 
    burning? 

    Hold 
    on 
    to 
    your 
    heart's 
    de
    sire. 

    (When the night's 
    on 
    fire) 

    When 
    you 
    see 
    one 
    bird 
    into 
    the wind, 

    another 
    one's 
    turning, 

    And 
    the two 
    can 
    fly 
    much 
    higher. 

    We 
    are 
    islands, 
    but 
    never 
    too 
    far, 

    We 
    are 
    islands 

    And 
    I 
    need 
    your 
    light 
    tonight, 

    And 
    I 
    need 
    your 
    light 
    tonight. 

    We 
    are 
    islands, 
    but 
    never 
    too 
    far, 

    We 
    are 
    islands 

    And 
    I need 
    your 
    light 
    tonight, 

    And 
    I need 
    your 
    light 
    tonight. 

    We 
    are 
    islands, 
    but 
    never 
    too 
    far, 


    We are islands 

    And I 
    need your 
    light tonight, 

    And 
    I need your light 
    tonight. 

    We are islands, 
    but 
    never too far, 


    We are islands 

    And 
    I need 
    your 
    light 
    tonight, 

    And 
    I need 
    your 
    light 
    tonight. 

    We 
    are 
    islands, 
    but 
    never 
    too 
    far, 

    We 
    are 
    islands 

    And 
    I need 
    your 
    light 
    tonight, 

    And 
    I 
    need 
    your 
    light 
    tonight. 

    We 
    are 
    islands, but 
    never 
    too

    And 
    I need 
    your 
    light 
    tonight, 

    And 
    I need 
    your 
    light 
    tonight.

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
