Verse 1

A

I saw you

coming so I got to running

Like hell, I could tell that

you played for keeps

Now I live on a boat that sits on a moat

On top of piss river, outside your castle

And wind death comes 'round, we all sing,

"Oh, what an asshole"

He stirs quite the fuss and he

cause quite the hassle

We all buy black suits as our

lives go on mute

And meet under the belfry

to cry and say sorry
Verse 2
A

And oh my God
D

Mama, I'm scared
F#m
G

I know you are, baby
A

I am scared too
Verse 3
A


Do you want to play chess

inside my chest?

You move, I move

You choose, I choose

And hoot, hoot, hoot

I beg like an owl

As I sit on my perch

And I stare and I scowl

I know I left you

But I cannot forget you

Now I only know how to harm or upset you
Am
A

See, I came for your love but I

stayed for your anger

And you rocked me, mama,

like a babe in the manger
Verse 4

And oh my God
D

Mama, I'm angry

She's angry at you
Verse 5

A

I tried to pray but I didn't

know what to say

So I just mumbled some names

I said, "I hope they're okay

then amen"

They were the names of my

family and friends

Oh, the planet's so lonely and the

planet's so cold

And if I'm so lucky I'll die when I'm old

I pray no disaster, no fight, no rain

And I pray that no devil gets

inside my brain

As the world does its twirl

between the moon and the sun

Casting clock shadows

beyond everyone

And the hours devour us

As I stare out my window, as I ride this bus

In men it goes fast, in men what a blur

But I write it just the same

or just as it were

That feeling in my stomach

when the light was low

And I get warm in my chest

when my heart would slow

That feeling in my head

when that music played

Get dizzy in my soul from the glad

song they sang

What a dream to have ever

felt the air so warm

What a dream to have

even ever been born
Verse 6

So I got to running

But next time I'll stay put

  • 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.
