  • Verse 1
    There 
    are times 
    that 
    walk 
    from 
    you 

    Like 
    some 
    passing 
    afternoon 

    Summer 
    warmed 
    the 
    open 

    window 
    of 
    her 
    honeymoon 

    And 
    she 
    chose 
    a yard 
    to 
    burn 

    But 
    the 
    ground 
    remembers 
    her 

    Wooden 
    spoons, 
    her 
    children 
    stir 

    Her 
    Bougainvillea 
    blooms 

    Verse 2
    There 
    are things 
    that 
    drift 
    away 

    Like 
    our 
    endless, 
    numbered 
    days 

    Autumn 
    blew 
    the quilt 
    right 
    off 

    the 
    perfect 
    bed 
    she 
    made 

    And 
    she's 
    chosen 
    to 
    be
    lieve 

    In 
    the 
    hymns 
    her 
    mother 
    sings 

    Sunday 
    pulls 
    its 
    children 
    from 
    the 

    piles 
    of 
    fallen 
    leaves 

    Verse 3
    There 
    are sailing 
    ships 
    that 
    pass 

    All 
    our 
    bodies 
    in 
    the grass 

    Springtime 
    calls 
    her 
    children 

    Until 
    she 
    let's 
    them 
    go 
    at 
    last 

    And 
    she's 
    chosen 
    where 
    to 
    be 

    Though 
    she's 
    lost 
    her 

    wedding 
    ring 

    Somewhere 
    near 
    her 
    misplaced 
    jar 

    Of 
    Bougainvillea 
    seeds 

    Verse 4
    There 
    are things 
    we 
    can't 
    recall 

    Blind 
    as 
    night 
    that 
    finds 
    us 
    all 

    Winter 
    tucks 
    her 
    children 
    in 

    Her 
    fragile 
    China 
    doll

    But 
    my 
    hands 
    remember 
    hers 

    Rolling 
    around 
    the shaded 
    ferns 

    Naked 
    arms, 
    her secrets 
    still 

    Like 
    songs 
    I'd 
    never 
    learned 

    Verse 5
    There 
    are 
    names 
    across 
    the 
    sea 

    Only 
    now 
    do 
    believe 

    Sometimes, 
    with 
    the 
    windows 
    closed 

    She'll 
    sit 
    and 
    think 
    of 
    me 

    But 
    she'll 
    mend 
    his 
    tattered 
    clothes 

    And 
    they'll 
    kiss 
    as 
    if 
    they 
    know 

    baby 
    sleeps 
    in 
    all 
    our 
    bones 

    So 
    scared 
    to 
    be 
    alone

    • 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.
