Verse 1
D

The

hour is out of joint

Black sun has risen

And the river of words

Is flowing on through
Em

The cages of tradition
D

And they're handing out emptiness

We'll take it 'cause it's given

Free with this plastic innocence

Em

And these standards of living
D
Verse 2


Questions lighted questions

Burnin' holes into my head

Hanging like shadows o'er the sun
Em

Staring out like the eyes of the dead
D

And sometimes my soul flickers

When the wind of change blows cold

Over the mire of repetition
Em

Down the corridors of rigmarole
Verse 3
A

What I say, what I think

What I put down in ink

I'm only trying to find a way to

A

And I mean no harm
E

I'm just searching for calm
G

In the storm of mankind
D
Verse 4

Do you find it there

In the sea of faces

That drowns you everyday

Or in the silence and rubble

and empty spaces
Em

Where children and rottweilers play
D

Is it buried in the praise

Given so cheap

With a meaningless

movement of the jaws

In the looking glass

That flatters you
Em

Or in the rattle of hollow applause
Verse 5
A

Blind circle, moon and sun body willing,
G

mind undone

One pain ending while an

Through the urban hollows

Out into the poles of the extreme

Of these godless minutes

D
And here watching the night As it opens
Verse 7
D


like a flower

And the day starts to rust

Feeling time pound

Like a silent hammer
G

On this empire of dust
D

And I'm thinking bout the bullet

And the TV screen, the dollar,

and the clenched fist

And if we're searching for peace

How come we still believe
Em

In hatred as the catalyst
Verse 8
A

Oh through the borderline
G

In front and behind

One pain ending

Verse 9
D

And I feel it from the pit of my stomach

Into the ditch of my mind
Em
D

Inside the chambers of my heart
Em

As I stare half blind

At these walls of cardboard

At this space that I've rented

At your beauty that is crumbling

Though you try so hard to prevent it

  • 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.
