    • Verse 1
    The city 
    stays 
    high, 
    all 
    night 

    Lit 
    up 
    and 
    shivering 

    Like 
    a 
    pinball table 
    of 
    fireflies 

    An 
    echo 
    of 
    home, 
    on 
    the 
    edge 
    of 
    life 

    Shot 
    through 
    the 
    veins 
    of 
    an 
    angel 

    I'm 
    a 
    devil 
    in 
    exile 

    Verse 2

    But 
    if 
    you 
    have

    tongue 

    What 
    do 
    you 
    think 
    your 
    mother 

    Would 
    say 
    of 
    what 
    you've 
    done? 

    And 
    if 
    you 
    can't 
    re
    member 
    the 
    place 

    You 
    call 
    a 
    home, 

    or 
    having 
    trouble 
    placing 

    Who's 
    calling 
    on 
    the 
    phone 

    Verse 3
    Who's 
    calling

    Dip 
    the nose 
    of 
    the 
    car 
    to 

    the sugar 
    lines 

    Out 
    to 
    the 
    desert 

    Under 
    cinnamon 
    hills 
    and 
    moonshine 

    He said 
    'what 
    can 
    I 
    do 
    to 
    make 

    you 
    mine?' 

    Kiss out 
    the 
    twang 
    from 
    my 
    lips 

    On 
    the 
    way 
    to 
    big-time

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
