    Verse 1
    can 
    recall 
    the sound 
    of 
    the 
    wind 

    As it 
    blew 
    through 
    the trees 

    and the 
    trees 
    would bend 

    can 
    recall 
    the smell 
    of 
    the 
    rain 

    On a 
    hot 
    summer 
    night 

    Coming 
    through 
    the 
    screen 

    Verse 2
    I'd 
    crawl 
    in 
    your bed 
    when 

    the 
    lightning 
    flashed 

    And 
    I'd 
    still 
    be 
    there 

    when the 
    storm 
    had passed 

    Dead 
    to the 
    world, 
    to the 
    morn
    ing 
    cast 

    Its 
    light 
    all 
    around 
    your 
    room 

    Verse 3

    We lived 
    on 
    a street 

    where the 
    tall 
    elm 
    shade 

    Was as 
    green 
    as 
    the 
    grass 

    and as 
    cool 
    as a 
    blade 

    That you 
    held 
    in 
    your 
    teeth 

    as we 
    lay 
    on 
    our 
    backs 

    Staring 
    up 
    at the 
    blue 

    and the 
    blue 
    stared 
    back 

    Verse 4
    used 
    to 
    believe 
    we were 

    just 
    like 
    those 
    trees 

    We'd 
    grown 
    just 
    as 
    tall 
    and 

    as 
    proud 
    as 
    we pleased 

    With our 
    feet 
    on the 
    ground 
    and 

    our 
    arms 
    in 
    the breeze 

    Under 
    a sheltering 
    sky 


    Verse 5
    Twirl 
    me 
    about, 
    and 
    twirl 
    me 
    around 

    Let 
    me grow 
    dizzy 
    and 
    fall 

    to the 
    ground 

    And when 
    look 
    up 
    at 
    you 
    looking 
    down, 

    Say 
    it 
    was only 
    a dream 

    Verse 6

    A big truck 
    was parked 

    in the drive 
    one 
    day 

    They 
    wrapped 
    us 
    in paper 

    and 
    moved 
    us 
    away 

    Your 
    room 
    was 
    no 
    longer 

    next 
    door 
    to 
    mine 

    And this 
    kid 
    sister 
    thing 

    was 
    old 
    by 
    that time 

    Verse 7
    But 
    oh 
    how 
    our 
    dreams 

    went 
    bump 
    in 
    the night 

    And the voices 
    downstairs 

    get
    ting 
    into 
    a fight 

    And the 
    next 
    day 
    a silence 
    you 

    could 
    cut 
    with 
    a knife 

    And feel 
    like 
    a blade 
    at 
    your throat 

    Verse 8
    Twirl 
    me 
    about 
    and twirl 
    me 
    around 

    Let 
    me 
    grow 
    dizzy 
    and 
    fall 

    to the 
    ground 

    When 
    look 
    up 
    at you 
    looking 
    down 

    Say 
    it 
    as only 
    dream 

    Interlude 1


    The day 
    you 
    Verse 9
    left 
    home 

    you got 
    an early 
    start 

    watched 
    your car 
    back 
    out 
    in the 
    dark 

    opened 
    the door 
    to your 

    room 
    down 
    the hall 

    I turned 
    on 
    the light 

    And all 
    that I 
    saw 

    Was 
    a bed 
    and a desk 
    and 

    couple 
    of tack

    No 
    sign 
    of 
    someone 
    who ex

    pects 
    to be 
    back

    It 
    must 
    have been 
    one 
    hell 
    of 
    a suit
    case 

    you 
    packed 

    Interlude 2

    Twirl 
    Verse 10
    me about, 
    twirl 
    me 
    around 

    Let 
    me 
    grow 
    dizzy 
    and 
    fall 

    to the 
    ground 

    When 
    look up 
    at 
    you 
    looking 
    down 

    Say 
    it was 
    only 
    dream

    • 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.
