    Verse 1
    Step 
    out 
    to clutch 

    the evening 
    air

    Distraction 
    from 
    your 
    disrepair 

    And all 
    of 
    those 
    who say 

    they 
    know 

    Verse 2

    And 
    walk 
    the bal
    ustrade 
    till 
    dawn 

    You 
    won't 
    blink 
    and 
    you 
    won't 
    yawn 

    Never 
    let 
    your 
    weakness 
    show 

    Verse 3

    And 
    though 
    I 
    keep 
    your 
    picture 

    on 
    the wall 

    Unplug the phone 
    in 
    case 
    you call 

    Dust 
    col
    lects 
    upon 
    the sill 

    Verse 4

    And still 
    you 
    misplace 
    all 

    your 
    faith 
    in word
    s 

    As 
    though 
    you'll 
    ever 
    feel 
    assured 

    If 
    you 
    don't 
    know, 

    you 
    never 
    will 

    Verse 5

    But no 
    I 
    never 
    meant 
    you 
    any 
    harm 

    Suffocating 
    shel
    ter 
    of 
    your 
    arms 

    And if 
    I 
    let 
    you 
    down, 
    it 

    Wasn't 
    me, 

    but you 
    who 
    kept 
    me 
    'round 

    Linger 
    on, 
    linger 
    on 

    Verse 6

    And 
    while 
    your 
    tears 
    fall 
    down 
    his 
    cheek 

    For 
    the fallen, 
    small 
    and 
    meek 

    Look 
    what 
    the 
    invalids 
    compose 

    Verse 7
    Well 
    he 
    should've 
    warned 

    you 
    from 
    the start 

    Another 
    callus 
    on 
    the 
    heart 

    Another 
    victim 
    of 
    the 
    throes 

    Verse 8

    And 
    me, 
    I'm 
    in 
    the 
    company 
    of 
    thieves 

    They 
    get 
    their 
    word 
    in, 
    then 
    they 
    leave 

    Such 
    a false 
    affair 

    Verse 9

    But 
    who 
    am 
    I 
    to claim 
    such 
    moral 
    high
    s 

    And 
    though 
    my 
    judgement 
    on 
    the night 

    As 
    though 
    I'm 
    so 
    aware 

    Verse 10

    No 
    I 
    never 
    meant 
    you 
    any 
    harm 

    Suffocating 
    shel
    ter 
    of 
    your 
    arms 

    And 
    if 
    you 
    should 
    feel 
    betrayed 

    It 
    wasn't 
    me, 

    but you 
    who 
    made 
    me 
    stay 

    Linger 
    on, 
    linger 
    on 

    Interlude 1



    Well 
    Verse 11
    I'll 
    take 
    your 

    convalescent 
    dream
    s 

    Patch 
    the wounds 
    and 
    sew 
    the seam
    s 

    Get 
    you 
    ready 
    for 
    the fall 

    Verse 12

    But should 
    you mis
    s 
    me 
    when 
    I'm 
    gone 

    Girl 
    your 
    memory 
    serves 
    you wrong 

    You 
    never 
    needed 
    me 
    at all 


    Verse 13
    But 
    you can 
    miss 
    the 
    hol
    low 
    of 
    my 
    hand 

    And 
    all 
    the 
    lives 
    that 
    we 
    had 
    planned 

    And 
    all 
    the jealousies 
    you sowed 

    Verse 14

    And 
    I'll 
    take 
    back 
    the 

    youth 
    you 
    can't 
    repay 

    All 
    the 
    hours 
    I 
    gave 
    away 

    And 
    all 
    the lies 
    I 
    never 
    told 

    Verse 15

    And 
    no 
    I 
    never 
    meant 
    you 
    any 
    harm 

    Suffocating 
    shel
    ter 
    of 
    your 
    arms 

    And 
    if 
    I 
    did 
    you 
    wrong 

    It 
    wasn't 
    me, 

    but 
    you 
    who 
    wrote 
    this 
    song 

    Linger 
    on, 
    linger 
    on

      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 🙂

      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.
