    Verse 1
    The 
    blue 

    it speaks 
    so 
    full. 

    It's like 
    beauty 
    one 
    can 
    barely 
    stand. 

    Or 
    too much 
    things 
    dropped 

    in 
    your hand. 

    And 
    there's 
    a green 
    like 
    the 
    peace 
    in your 
    heart, 

    some
    times. 

    Painted 
    underneath 

    the sheets 
    of 
    ashy 
    snow. 

    And 
    there's 
    a blue 
    like 
    where 
    the 
    urban 
    angels 
    go, 

    very 
    bright. 

    Now 
    the Calder 
    mo
    bile 
    tips 

    biomorphic sphere. 

    Then 
    it swings 
    its 
    dangling 
    pieces 
    round 

    to 
    other 
    paint
    ings 
    here. 

    Verse 2

    Your 
    beha
    vior 
    is 
    so 
    male. 

    It's 
    like 
    you can
    't 

    explain 
    your
    self 
    to me. 

    think 
    I'll 
    ask 
    Ren
    oir 
    to tea. 

    For 
    his 
    flowers 
    are as 
    real 
    as 
    they 
    are, 

    all 
    the time. 

    And 
    the sunlight 
    sets 
    the furniture 
    aglow. 

    It's 
    a pleasant 
    time 
    as 
    far 
    as 
    people 
    go, 

    how 
    far 
    do they 
    go? 

    Well 
    his 
    roses 
    are 
    perfect 
    and 

    his 
    words 
    have 
    no 
    wings. 

    know 
    what 
    he can 
    give 
    me 
    and 
    like 
    to know 

    these 
    things. 

    Interlude 1


    met her 
    at 
    the funeral. 
    Verse 3

    She 
    said 
    don't 
    know what 
    he 
    meant 
    to me. 

    just 
    know 
    he 
    affected 
    me. 

    An 
    effect 
    not 
    unlike 
    his 
    art, 

    believe. 

    The service 
    starts 
    and 
    we 
    are 
    in 
    the know. 

    He 
    had 
    so 
    much 
    to say 
    and 
    more 
    to show, 

    and 
    ain't 
    that 
    true 
    of life? 

    So 
    we 
    weep 
    for a 
    person 
    who 

    lived 
    at great 
    cost. 

    And 
    we barely 
    knew 
    his 
    powers 
    till 

    we sensed 
    what we 
    had 
    lost. 

    Verse 4

    A friend 
    and I 
    in 
    museum 
    room. 

    She 
    says, 
    "Look 
    at Mark 
    Rothko's side. 

    Did 
    you know 
    about 
    his 
    sui
    cide? 

    Some 
    folks 
    were 
    born 
    with 
    a foot 
    in the 
    grave, 

    but 
    not 
    me, of 
    course." 

    And she 
    smiles 
    as if 
    to say 

    we're 
    in 
    the know. 

    Then she 
    names 
    coffee 
    place 

    where 
    we 
    can 
    go, 
    uptown. 

    Now 
    the painting 
    is 
    desperate, 

    but 
    the crowd
    s wash 
    away. 

    In a 
    world 
    of kind 
    pedestrians 
    who've 
    seen 

    Outro 1
    enough 
    today.

    • 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.
