    Every

    Verse 1

    walk 
    the 
    line 

    Your 
    days 
    are numbered, 
    so 
    are 
    mine 

    Time 
    is 
    pilin' 
    up, 

    we 
    struggle 
    and 
    we scrape 

    We're 
    all 
    boxed 
    in

    nowhere

    before 

    Don't 
    even 
    have 
    anything 

    for 
    my
    self 
    anymore 

    Sky 
    full 
    of fire, 

    pain 
    pourin' 
    down 

    Nothing 
    you 
    can 
    sell me, 

    I'll 
    see 
    you 
    around 

    All 
    my 
    powers 
    of 
    expression 
    Verse 4
    and 

    thoughts 
    so

    Could 
    never

    the 
    devil's 
    in 
    the

    the stall 

    Say 
    anything 
    you want 
    to, 
    have 
    heard 
    it all

    falling 
    from 
    the trees 

    Feeling 
    like 
    a stranger 
    nobody 
    sees 

    So 
    many 
    things 
    that we

    I'm 
    gonna 
    look 
    at 
    you 
    'til 

    my 
    eyes 
    go 
    blind 

    Well 
    got 
    here 
    following 
    Verse 8

    the 
    southern 
    star 

    I crossed 
    that 
    river 
    just 
    to 
    be 
    where 
    you 
    are 

    Only 
    one 
    thing 
    did 
    wrong

    Interlude 2



    Verse 9
    Well 
    my 
    ship's 
    been 
    split 
    to splinters 

    and 
    it's 
    sinking 
    fast 

    I'm drownin' 
    in the 
    poison, 

    got 
    no future, 
    got 
    no 
    pas

    But 
    my heart 
    is not 
    weary, 

    it's 
    light 
    and 
    it's 
    free 

    I've 
    got 
    nothin' 
    but 
    affection 
    for all 

    those 
    who've sailed 
    with 
    me 

    Verse 10
    Everybody 
    movin' 
    if 
    they ain't 

    already 
    there 

    Everybody 
    got 
    to 
    move 
    somewhere 

    Stick 
    with 
    me baby, 
    stick with 
    me anyhow 

    Thing
    s should 
    start 
    to 

    get interesting 
    right 
    about 
    now 

    Verse 11
    My 
    clothes 
    are wet, 
    tight 
    on 
    my skin 

    Not 
    as 
    tight 
    as 
    the corner 
    that 

    painted 
    myself 
    in

    know that 
    for
    tune 
    is 

    wait
    in' 
    to be 
    kind 

    So give 
    me your 
    hand 

    and say 
    you'll 
    be mine 

    Verse 12
    Well, 
    the 
    emptiness 
    is 
    endless, 

    cold 
    as 
    the clay 

    You 
    can always 
    come 
    back, 

    but 
    you 
    can't 
    come 
    back 
    all 
    the 
    way 

    Only 
    one 
    thing 
    did 
    wrong 

    Stayed 
    in 
    Missis
    sippi 
    a day 
    too 
    long

    • 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.
