  • Verse 1
    Sing 
    to 
    me, 
    baby, 
    in 
    your 
    native 
    tongue 

    Sing 
    the 
    words 
    of 
    the 
    wise 
    and 
    the 
    young 

    Show 
    me 
    the 
    place 

    where 
    your 
    words 
    come 
    from 

    Love 
    is 
    the 
    language, 

    love 
    is 
    your 
    native 
    tongue 

    Feel 
    your 
    heartbeat 
    bang 
    the 
    drum 

    Open 
    up 
    your 
    eyes 
    and 
    fill 
    your 
    lungs 

    The 
    same 
    word 
    from 

    where 
    the 
    stars 
    are 
    flung 

    Love 
    is 
    the 
    language, 

    Chorus 1
    love 
    is 
    your 
    native 
    tongue 

    My 
    heart 
    is 
    beating 
    drum 

    My 
    head 
    in 
    oblivion 

    My 
    soul, 
    such 
    long 
    way 
    from 

    My 
    lips, 
    my 
    lungs, 
    my 
    native 
    tongue 

    My 
    friend, 
    where 
    did 
    we 
    go 
    wrong? 

    My 
    Lord, 
    we 
    forgot 
    our 
    sound 

    My 
    soul, 
    such 
    long 
    way 
    from 

    My 
    lips, 
    my 
    lungs, 
    my 
    native 
    tongue 

    (Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh) 
    My 
    native 
    tongue 

    Verse 2
    (Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh) 
    My 
    native 
    tongue 

    Sing 
    it 
    to 
    me, 
    whisper 
    into 
    my 
    ear 

    Accuser's 
    voices 
    start 
    to 
    disappear 

    In 
    the 
    wind, 
    in 
    the 
    tongues 
    of 
    the 
    flame 

    In 
    my 
    soul, 
    in 
    my 
    one 
    true 
    name, 
    oh 

    Back 
    before 
    we 
    learned 

    the 
    words 
    to 
    start 
    fight 

    Back 
    before 
    they 
    told 
    us 

    that 
    the 
    haters 
    were 
    right 

    He 
    spoke 
    the 
    truth, 

    "let 
    there 
    be" 
    and 
    there 
    was 

    Love 
    is 
    the 
    language, 

    love 
    is 
    your 
    native 
    tongue 

    Chorus 2
    My 
    heart 
    is 
    beating 
    drum 

    My 
    head 
    in 
    oblivion 

    My 
    soul, 
    such 
    long 
    way 
    from 

    My 
    lips, 
    my 
    lungs, 
    my 
    native 
    tongue 

    My 
    friend, 
    where 
    did 
    we 
    go 
    wrong? 

    My 
    Lord, 
    we 
    forgot 
    our 
    sound 

    My 
    soul, 
    such 
    long 
    way 
    from 

    My 
    lips, 
    my 
    lungs, 
    my 
    native 
    tongue 

    Bridge 1
    So 
    sing 
    it 
    loud, 
    get 
    loud, 
    get 

    Louder 
    than 
    the 
    voices 
    in 
    the 
    crowd, 
    yeah 

    Even 
    when 
    they 
    tried 

    to 
    drown 
    you 
    out, 
    eh

    tongue 

    So 
    sing 
    it 
    out, 
    get 
    loud, 
    get 

    Louder 
    than 
    the 
    darkness 

    and 
    the 
    doubts, 
    eh 

    Louder 
    than 
    the 
    curses 

    and 
    the 
    shouts, 
    yeah 

    Your 
    lips, 
    your 
    lungs, 
    your 
    native 
    tongue 

    (Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh) 

    Chorus 3
    (Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh) 

    My 
    heart 
    is 
    beating 
    drum 

    My 
    head 
    in 
    oblivion 

    My 
    soul, 
    such 
    long 
    way 
    from 

    My 
    lips, 
    my 
    lungs, 
    my 
    native 
    tongue 

    My 
    friend, 
    where 
    did 
    we 
    go 
    wrong? 

    My 
    Lord, 
    we 
    forgot 
    our 
    sound 

    My 
    soul,

    Outro 1
    want 
    the 
    world 
    to 
    sing 

    in 
    her 
    native 
    tongue 

    To 
    sing 
    it 
    like 
    when 
    we 
    were 
    young 

    Back 
    before 
    the 
    pendulum 

    had 
    swung 
    to 
    the 
    shadows 

    want 
    the 
    world 
    to 
    sing 
    in 
    her 
    native 
    tongue 

    Maybe 
    we 
    could 
    learn 
    to 
    sing 
    along 

    To 
    find 
    way 
    to 
    use 
    our 
    lungs 

    for 
    love 
    and 
    not 
    the 
    shadows 

    want 
    the 
    world 
    to 
    sing 
    in 
    her 
    native 
    tongue 

    To 
    sing 
    it 
    like 
    when 
    we 
    were 
    young 

    Back 
    before 
    the

    • 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.
