    Verse 1
    Heavy 

    northern 
    autumn sky 

    Mist- 
    hung forest, 
    dark 
    spruce, 

    bright 
    maple 

    And the great 
    lake rolling 
    forever 
    to 

    the narrow gray 
    beach 

    Verse 2

    I look west 
    along the 
    red road 

    of 
    the frail 
    sun 

    Where 
    it hovers 
    between shelf 

    of cloud 
    and spiky 
    trees 

    Receding 
    shore 

    Verse 3

    The world 
    is full 
    of season
    s 
    of 
    anguish, 

    of laughter 

    And it comes to 
    mind to 

    write you this 

    Verse 4
    Nothing 
    is sure 

    Nothing 
    is pure 

    And 
    no matter who 
    we think we 
    are 

    Everyone 
    get
    s his chance 

    to be 
    nothing 


    Verse 5

    Love's 
    supposed 
    to heal, but 
    it 

    breaks 
    my 
    heart to 
    feel 

    The pain 
    in your 
    voice 

    But 
    you know, 
    it's 
    all going somewhere 

    And 
    I would 
    crush 
    my heart 

    and throw it in 
    the street 

    If 
    I could pay 
    for your choice 


    Verse 6

    Isn't 
    that what 
    friends 
    are 
    for? 

    Isn't 
    that what 
    friend

    s are 
    for? 

    Verse 7

    We're 
    the insect 
    life of paradise 

    Crawl 
    across 
    leaf or among 

    towering 
    blades 
    of grass 

    Glimpse 
    only some
    times 
    the amazing 

    breadth 
    of heaven 


    Verse 8

    You're as loved 
    as you were 

    Before 
    the strangeness 

    swept through 

    Our bodies, 
    our houses, 

    our 
    streets 

    When we could speak 
    without codes 

    And 
    light swirled 
    around 
    like 

    Wind- blown 
    petals 

    Our feet 

    Verse 9

    I've been 
    scraping 
    little shavings 

    off my ration 
    of light 

    And I've 
    formed it into 
    a ball, and 

    each time 
    I 
    pack a bit 
    more onto 
    it 

    I make 
    a bowl of my 
    hands and 
    I 

    scoop 
    it from 
    its secret cache 

    Under 
    a loose board 
    in the floor 

    And I 
    blow across 
    it 
    and I send 
    it to you 

    Against those 
    moments 
    when 

    The darkness 
    blows under 

    your door 

    Verse 10

    Isn't 
    that what 
    friends 
    are 

    for? 


    Isn't 
    that what 
    friends 
    are 
    for? 

    Isn't 
    that what 
    friends 
    are 

    for?

      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.
