    Verse 1
    A sliver 
    of chalk 
    across 
    the blue 

    Lord 
    knows 
    I don't 
    know 
    what 

    the hell's 
    the use 
    of 
    the 
    midday 
    moon 

    You 
    came 
    to my arms 
    too 

    goddamn 
    soon 

    Lord 
    knows 
    don't 
    know 
    what 
    to 
    do 

    with 
    you 
    and 
    the 
    midday 
    moon 

    This is 
    Verse 2
    just 
    to say 

    They've 
    taken 
    everything 
    away 

    Every 
    step 
    we made 
    fit into 
    six 
    trucks 

    Pick- 
    ups 
    drawing 
    dust 

    above 
    the 
    driveway 

    The 
    muddy 
    Verse 3
    cavalcade 
    came 

    at half 
    past 
    eight 

    Collecting 
    everything 

    in that 
    grassy 
    bank 

    And every 
    trace 
    of you 
    was 
    taken 
    too 

    And 
    what 
    was once 
    a womb 

    is just 
    a hollow 
    room 

    It was 
    Verse 4
    a windy 
    day 

    That kind 
    that makes 
    me 
    hate 
    L.A. 

    'Cause 
    God 
    gave 
    them 

    a perfect 
    sun 

    And they 
    think 
    gangs 
    and smog 

    were 
    hardly 
    a fair 
    trade 

    Verse 5
    They don't 
    breathe 
    or flinch 

    Or even 
    blink 
    at how 
    the green 
    will shift 

    When 
    the wind 
    parades 

    across 
    the meager 
    ridge 

    And 
    kicks 
    the weeds 
    a bit 
    to 
    make 

    seem 
    as if the 
    lea 
    is a 
    sea of 
    waves 

    They say you 
    Verse 6
    can't 
    cheat 
    death 

    Maybe 
    it's 
    just a 
    shortness 
    of 
    breath 

    Or no 
    pains 
    in your 
    chest 

    A dis
    ease 
    we 
    agree 
    that we 

    ain't 
    cured 
    yet 

    Verse 7
    Forgive 
    me dear 
    never 

    thought 
    that we'd 
    end 
    up here 

    From 
    ["sweet dreams"] whispered 

    in 
    your ear 

    Before 
    long 
    night's 
    sleep 

    so cold 
    and clear 

    Verse 8
    A sliver 
    of 
    chalk 
    across 

    the blue 

    Lord 
    knows 
    don't 
    know 
    what 
    the 
    hell's 

    the use 
    of 
    the midday 
    moon 

    You 
    came 
    to my 
    arms 
    too 

    goddamn 
    soon 

    Lord 
    knows 
    don't 
    know 
    what 
    to 
    do 

    with 
    you 
    and 
    the 
    midday 
    moon 

    Verse 9
    I've 
    been 
    told 
    that when 
    we die 
    we 

    pass 
    onto 
    the 
    other 
    side 

    There's 
    no 
    bright 
    light, 

    no 
    bright 
    light. 

    Death 
    is 
    just 
    pasture 
    gate 
    that 

    opens 
    by 
    lifting 
    a plank 

    To 
    just 
    more 
    life, 
    just 
    more 
    life 

    Verse 10
    met 
    an 
    old 
    man, 
    sun- 
    tanned, 

    provided 
    by 
    Jesus 

    And 
    the light 
    that 
    passed 
    through 

    stain glassed 
    pieces 

    He clutched 
    rosary 
    flat 
    to his 
    chest 

    And con
    fessed 
    he wasn't 

    ready 
    for death 

    Verse 11
    I seen 
    an 
    iron 
    eyed 
    firefly, 
    femme 
    fatale 

    Too 
    vain 
    to explain 
    how 
    her hair 
    fell 
    out 

    Lusting 
    for the 
    next 
    thing to 

    erase 
    her shame 

    She 
    doesn't 
    want 
    to live forever, 

    but she's 
    scared to 
    fade 
    away 

    Verse 12
    This 
    is 
    how they 
    came 
    to me, 

    one 
    at a time 

    Pilgrims 
    to 
    my building 
    on the 

    cemetery 
    ground 

    All 
    they 
    wanted 
    was 
    an answer 

    and I could 
    never 
    let 
    'em down 

    I couldn't 
    promise 
    them forever 

    Verse 13
    but I could 
    buy 
    a lot 
    of time 

    You 
    Jeanvieve, you 
    were the straw 

    Whispering 
    your 
    wishes 
    in cotton 
    Quebeois 

    wonder 
    if 
    the Maker 
    ever 

    felt 
    he botched 
    the flock 

    But 
    never 
    had the 
    mettle 

    to make 
    the 
    world 
    stop 

    Stop, 
    stop, 
    stop, 
    stop, 
    stop, 

    Verse 14
    stop, 
    stop, 
    stop, 
    stop 

    [I
    wonder 
    if 
    the maker 
    ever 
    felt 
    he 
    botched 
    the 

    flockBut never 
    had 
    the mettle 
    to make 
    the world 
    stop] 

    Stop, 
    stop, 
    stop, 
    stop, 
    stop, 

    Verse 15
    stop, 
    stop, 
    stop, stop 

    [I
    wonder 
    if the 
    maker 
    ever 
    felt 
    he botched 

    the flockBut never 
    had 
    the mettle 
    to make 
    the 
    world 
    stop] 

    Stop, 
    stop, 
    stop, 
    stop, 
    stop, 
    stop, 

    stop, 
    stop 

    Stop, 
    stop, 
    stop, 
    stop, 
    stop, 

    stop, 
    stop, stop 

    Verse 16

    A sliver

    Lord 
    knows 
    don't 
    know

    to 
    do 

    with 
    you 
    and 
    the midday 
    moon 

    Verse 17
    A sliver 
    of chalk 
    across 

    the blue 

    Lord 
    knows 
    don't 
    know

    the 
    hell's 

    the 
    use

    • 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.
