  • Verse 1
    I never 
    got 
    to kiss 
    your 
    head, 
    ah, 
    Emme 

    And 
    the call 
    came 
    the 
    week 
    I got 
    di
    vorced 

    thought 
    I had 
    real 
    understanding 

    then 
    of loss 

    But I didn't 
    know 
    thing 
    'til you 

    were 
    gone 

    And I'm tired 
    of trying to 
    find 
    some sort 

    of 
    meaningful 
    thing 

    In making 
    sense 
    of such 

    unspeakable 
    loss 

    But as 
    I'm staring 
    at 
    your folks, 

    the sweetest 
    people 
    know 

    get a glimpse 
    of what 
    it is 
    to be strong 

    Just 
    holding 
    hands 
    and 
    sobbing 

    with 
    sunglasses 
    on 

    Verse 2
    'Cause 
    nothing 
    tuned 
    me in 

    to absurdity 
    as 
    fast 

    As 
    gravestone 
    with 
    the name 
    of 

    baby 
    that 
    has 
    passed 

    I used 
    to wanna 
    be 
    important, 

    now I just 
    wanna 
    be 
    alive 

    And without 
    fear 

    You got 
    to 
    persevere 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    couldn't 
    coun

    t the 
    times 
    I've 
    ragged 
    on 
    heaven 

    As an opi
    ate 
    in
    vented 
    by 
    the weak 

    It's 
    an argument 
    hate 
    'cause I'm 

    content 
    to 
    love 
    the 
    fates 

    But 
    it comes 
    up 
    a lot 
    with 

    Emme's dad 
    and me 

    So 
    I'm 
    shotgun 
    in the 
    car 
    and 

    we're 
    just shoot
    ing the 
    shit 

    And 
    predictably, the talking 
    turns 
    to God 

    So 
    I throw 
    him forty 
    lines 
    how 

    don't think 
    he ex
    ists 

    And 
    he just 
    smiles 
    and takes 

    a dignified 
    pause 

    Says, 
    "It's 
    okay 
    to feel 

    unbe
    lievably 
    lost" 

    Verse 4
    But 
    God 
    is full 
    of 
    grace 
    and 

    his faith
    fulness 
    is 
    vast 

    There 
    is safety 
    in 
    the moments 

    when the 
    shit 
    has hit 
    the fan 

    Not 
    some 
    vin
    dictive 
    motherfucker, 

    nor 
    is he 
    shitty 
    at 
    his job 

    What 
    words 
    to hear 

    And I'm 
    a mess 
    by 
    now 

    'Cause 
    nothing 
    tuned 
    me 
    in 
    to 

    my fail
    ure 
    as 
    fast 

    As griev
    ing for 
    a friend 
    with 
    more 

    be
    lief 
    than I 
    possessed 

    "It's 
    not 
    some 
    disembodied 

    heaven," 
    he as
    sured 
    me 

    Then he 
    laughs 
    and says 

    through 
    tears 

    "You got 
    to 
    per
    severe" 

    Per
    severe 

    Persevere 

    Per
    severe 

    Interlude 2



    Verse 5
    We 
    threw 
    party 
    up 
    in here, 

    but God, 
    it 
    was 
    bittersweet 

    live 
    hard 
    'cause 
    am scared 

    that 
    I won't 
    mean 
    anything 

    So 
    now 
    I'm pray
    ing 
    to 
    the ceiling, 

    to the 
    win
    dows, 
    to the 
    walls 

    Against 
    this 
    sudden 
    sink
    ing 
    feeling 
    that 

    there's 
    nothing 
    there 
    at 
    all 

    And still 

    We just 
    per
    severe

    • 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.
