  • Intro 1

    Verse 1
    Down 
    by 
    the lake 

    we were 
    overturning 
    pebbles 

    And 
    upending all 
    the 

    animals 
    alight 

    And I 
    took 
    drag 
    from 
    your cigarette 

    And 
    I pinched 
    it 'tween 
    my 
    fin
    ger 
    and 
    my 
    thumb, 

    'til 
    it 
    had died 

    And 
    the sun 
    burned 
    low, 
    on 
    the radio 

    Verse 2

    Say 
    that you 
    will, 
    say 
    you will, 

    or will 
    you 
    or 
    won't 

    Or you 
    whatever 
    you 
    prevaricate, 

    you 
    whole 
    life, 
    don't 
    you? 

    And 
    this 
    much 
    can 
    say: 
    would've 

    waited 
    'til 
    the oceans 

    Fell away 
    and 
    all 
    the sunken 
    cities 

    would reveal 
    themselves 
    to you 

    But 
    you 
    won't, 

    will 
    you? 
    Be
    cause 
    you nev
    er 
    do 

    And 
    the sun 
    burned 
    through, 

    sweet 
    as hon
    eydew 

    Verse 3
    And 
    I, 
    sev
    en
    teen 

    and 
    ter
    minally fey 

    I wro
    te 
    it down 
    and 
    threw 
    it all 
    away 

    Never 
    gave 
    thought 
    to 
    what 
    paid 

    And 
    you, 
    all 
    sibylline, 

    reclining 
    in your 
    pew 

    You tattered 
    me, 

    you 
    tethered 
    me 
    to you 

    The things 
    you would, 

    the 
    things 
    you 
    wouldn't 
    do 

    To tell 
    the truth, 

    never 
    had 
    clue 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 4
    Now 
    we 
    arise 
    to 
    curse 
    those 

    young 
    suburban 
    villains 

    And 
    their 
    ill-begotten 
    children 

    children 
    from 
    the lawn 

    Come 
    to 
    me now, 

    and on 
    the station 
    wagon 
    window 

    Set 
    the 
    ghost 
    of your 
    two footprints 

    That they 
    might 
    haunt 
    me 

    when 
    you're 
    gone 

    And when 
    the light 
    broke 
    dawn, 

    you were 
    forever 
    gone 

    But I 
    re
    member 
    you: 

    you were 
    full 

    You were 
    full 
    and sweet 
    as 
    hon
    eydew 

    Verse 5
    And 
    I, 
    sev
    enteen 

    and 
    ter
    minally fey 

    Well, 
    wro
    te 
    it down 
    and 

    threw 
    it all 
    away 

    Never 
    gave 
    thought 
    to 
    what 
    I'd 
    pay 

    And 
    you, 
    all sibyl
    line, 

    re
    clining 
    in your 
    pew 

    You tattered 
    me, 

    you 
    tethered 
    me 
    to you 

    The things 
    you would, 

    and 
    the things 
    you wouldn't 
    do 

    You notice 
    now, I 
    never 
    had 
    clue 

    Never 
    had 
    clue 

    You were 
    full 
    and sweet 

    as honeydew 

    You were 
    full 
    and sweet 

    Outro 1
    as honeydew

    • 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.
