    • Verse 1
    Gonna 
    lay 
    my 

    burden 
    down 

    Lay 
    my 
    body 
    in 
    the ground 

    Cold 
    clay 
    again
    st my 
    skin 

    But 
    I don't 
    care 
    at all 

    Verse 2

    Can't 
    seem 
    to find 
    my 
    piece 
    of 
    mind 

    So 
    with 
    the 
    earth 
    I'll 
    lay 
    en
    twined 

    Six 
    feet 
    un
    derground 

    My 
    feet 
    are warm 
    and 
    dry 

    When I 
    get to 
    the 
    Verse 3
    other 
    side 

    I'll 
    put 
    your pic
    ture 
    way 
    up 
    high 

    But 
    I'm 
    not 
    coming 
    back 
    to you 

    It's 
    just 
    too 
    far 

    Verse 4

    If 
    I 
    was 
    cast 
    off 
    on 
    the 
    sea 

    Would 
    you 
    come 
    and 
    look for 
    me 

    Or 
    would you 
    just 
    let 
    me sink 

    Beneath 
    the 
    waves 
    so 
    blue 

    Verse 5
    What 
    if 
    I 
    had 
    learned 
    to fly 

    Fly 
    all 
    night 
    till 
    day 
    drew 
    nigh 

    Touch 
    down 
    upon 
    a 
    branch 
    and 

    Scan 
    the crowd 
    for 
    you 

    Verse 6
    When 
    I 
    touch 
    my 
    feet 
    on 
    the land 

    I'll 
    kiss 
    your lips 
    and 
    take you 
    in 

    But you know 
    I'm 
    not 
    here 
    to stay 

    It's 
    just 
    too 
    far 

    Verse 7
    Darling 
    can't 
    you 
    hear 
    me cry 

    My 
    bones 
    are broke 

    My 
    tongue 
    is tied 

    The 
    moon 
    is swaying 
    back 
    and forth 

    Again
    st 
    the navy 
    sky 

    Is 
    all 
    I can 
    see 

    My 
    body 
    is trembling 
    on my 
    knees 

    Just 
    have 
    a little 
    mer
    cy 
    on me 

    Run 
    away 
    an
    d 
    hide 

    Verse 8

    When 
    I sleep 
    the 
    angels 
    sing 

    But 
    I 
    cannot 
    hear 
    a thing 

    Eyes 
    close 

    Dreaming 
    of 
    the 
    bet
    ter 
    days 
    gone 
    by 

    Verse 9
    When 
    I 
    wake 
    the trum
    pets 
    play 

    And 
    I'm standing 
    at 
    the gates 

    Fall 
    down 
    and joy 

    I know 
    my 
    race 
    has 
    just 
    been 
    won 

    Verse 10
    When 
    I 
    was young 
    my 

    momma 
    would say 

    Well life 
    is hard, 
    but 
    that's 
    O.K. 

    If you 
    can 
    make 
    it 
    through 
    the day 

    It's 
    not 
    that 
    far 

    No, 
    it's not 
    that 
    far

      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

      "

      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.
