    • Verse 1
    Another 
    draggy week 
    behind me. 

    I wrote 
    a song to help 
    me hide it. 

    I 
    took it to 
    my publishers, 

    with 
    a piece of me 
    inside it. 

    They'll 
    take it to 
    some record 
    man, 

    and 
    he'll say 
    the bridge is 
    loose, 

    and 
    the lyric needs 
    some work. 

    And 
    we've got 
    no one 
    to do this 
    number anyway, 

    so 
    good day. 

    And like 
    a fountainhead 
    of sorrow, 

    that 
    has no place 
    for flowing, 

    The 
    part of 
    me that lingers 
    there, 

    will have 
    no field 
    for growing, 

    And 
    we'll die there 
    on some dusty 
    shelf 

    In 
    the subtle 
    suffocation 

    of 
    the part 
    of me I gave 

    And then 
    soon I'll 
    write a 
    song 

    the 
    way the others 
    do 

    And 
    then I'll 
    be dead 
    too 

    And 
    like 
    a fire 
    slowly 
    dying, 

    as 
    one by 
    one the 
    embers 
    blacken, 

    I 
    miss the 
    pieces of 
    myself 

    that no 
    one ever 
    warmed 

    themselves 
    beside. 

    Another 
    draggy 
    week before 
    me, 

    and 
    somewhere 
    a 
    song will 
    find me. 

    I'll 
    slice another 
    piece of 
    heart, 

    and 
    leave it 
    there behind 
    me. 

    But 
    perhaps 
    I'll 
    write a 
    hit this year, 

    and 
    you'll 
    know me 
    well. 

    I'll 
    have my 
    name there 

    underneath 
    the singer 

    Look 
    for the 
    smallest 
    let
    ters 

    and 
    that's 
    where I'll 
    be 

    In 
    parentheses

    • 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.”
