    Verse 1
    Once 
    upon 
    a time 
    there 

    was an 
    ocean 

    But now 
    it's 
    a mountain 
    range 

    Something 
    unstoppable 
    set 
    into 
    mo
    tion 

    Nothing 
    is 
    different, 

    but 
    everything's 
    changed 

    Verse 2

    It's 
    a dead 
    end 
    job, 

    and 
    you gets 
    tired 
    of sit
    tin' 

    And 
    it's like 
    nicotine 
    habit 
    you're 

    always 
    thinking 
    about 
    quittin' 

    think 
    about 
    quittin' 
    every 

    day 
    of 
    the 
    week 

    When 
    look 
    out 
    my 
    window 

    it's brown 
    and 
    it's 
    bleak 

    Verse 3
    Outta 
    here 

    How am 
    I gonna 
    get outta 
    here? 

    I'm 
    thinking 
    outta 
    here 

    When am 
    I gonna 
    get out
    ta here? 

    And 
    when 
    will 
    cash 
    in 
    my 
    lottery 
    ticket 

    And 
    bury 
    my 
    past 
    with 

    my 
    burdens 
    and strife? 

    want 
    to 
    shake 
    every 
    limb 

    in 
    the 
    garden 
    of 
    Eden 

    And 
    make 
    every 
    love 
    the 
    love 
    of 
    my 
    life 

    figure 
    that 
    once 
    upon 
    Verse 4

    time 
    was 
    an ocean 

    But 
    now 
    I'm 
    a moun
    tain 
    range 

    Something 
    unstoppable 
    set 
    into 
    motion 

    Nothing 
    is 
    different, 

    but 
    everything's 
    changed 

    Verse 5

    Found 
    a room 
    in the 
    heart 
    of the 
    city, 

    down 
    by 
    the 
    bridge 

    Hot 
    plate 
    and 
    TV 
    and 
    beer 
    in 
    the fridge 

    But 
    I'm 
    easy, 
    I'm 
    open, 
    that's 
    my 
    gift 

    can 
    flow 
    with 
    the 
    traffic, 

    can 
    drift 
    with 
    the drift 

    Home 
    again? 

    Naw, 
    never 
    going 
    home 
    again 

    Think 
    about 
    home 
    again? 

    I nev
    er 
    think 
    about 
    home 

    Verse 6
    But 
    then 
    comes 
    letter 
    from 
    home 

    The 
    handwriting's fragile 
    an
    strange 

    Something 
    unstoppable 
    set 
    into 
    mo
    tion 

    Nothing 
    is different, 

    but 
    everything's 
    changed 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 7
    The 
    light 
    through 
    the 
    stained 

    glass 
    was 
    cobalt 
    and 
    red 

    And 
    the frayed 
    cuffs 
    and 
    collars 
    were 

    mended 
    by 
    haloes 
    of 
    golden 
    thread 

    The 
    choir 
    sang, 

    "Once 
    Upon 
    Time 
    There Was 
    An Ocean" 

    And 
    all 
    the 
    old 
    hymns 
    and family 
    names 
    came 

    fluttering 
    down 
    as 
    leaves 
    of 
    emotion 

    Verse 8
    As 
    nothing 
    is 
    different, 
    but 

    Outro 1
    everything's 
    changed

    • 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.
