    Come 
    with 
    me now 

    into 
    a 
    piece 
    of 
    velvet 

    And 
    the 
    plastic 
    painters' 

    daring dance 
    of 
    death 

    We'll 
    journey 
    very 
    far 
    into 
    the 
    surface 

    Those 
    not 
    used 
    to 
    diving 
    hold 
    your 
    breath 

    The 
    lady 
    of 
    my 
    dream 
    paints 
    scars 
    of 
    velvet 
    on 

    the 
    mirror 
    of 
    the 
    words 
    she 
    chose 
    to 
    speak. 

    And 
    there 
    the 
    heavy 
    hands 
    that 

    hang 
    suspended 
    broke 
    the 

    Easter 
    undertaker's 
    laughter 
    breaks. 

    Paint
    er, 
    she cried 
    this 
    morning, 

    she 
    stared 
    like 
    a 
    saint 
    undone. 

    Grandpainter, 
    look, 
    it's 
    morning 

    And 
    we 
    cannot 
    find 
    the 
    sun 

    I 
    offered 
    her 
    my 
    cap 

    and 
    tiny 
    shovel 

    Saying 
    surely 
    this 
    will 
    hide 

    you 
    from 
    the 
    sun 

    I've 
    tamed 
    it from 
    a 
    banker 
    in 
    depression 

    He 
    was 
    a 
    memory 
    from 
    1931 

    She 
    butchers 
    up 
    her 
    meat 

    in 
    careful 
    quarters 

    For 
    she knows 
    the price 

    at 
    stake 
    is 
    very 
    high 

    And 
    she builds 
    her 
    worn 

    cliché 
    into 
    a climax 

    For 
    she knows 
    that 
    she 
    will 
    barely 
    get 
    by 

    Paint
    er, 
    she cried, 
    it's 
    morning 

    She 
    stares 
    like 
    a 
    saint 
    undone 

    Crying, 
    painter, 
    look, 
    it's 
    morning 

    And 
    we 
    cannot 
    find 
    the 
    sun

    Lady, 
    return 
    my 
    dream 

    It 
    wasn't 
    free, 
    it's 
    not 
    for 
    sale 

    Lady, 
    return 
    my 
    dream 

    And 
    let 
    me 
    go 
    on 
    with 
    the 

    telling 
    of 
    my 
    tale 

    Her 
    gentle 
    voice 
    cried 
    quietly 
    to 
    thank 
    me 

    It's 
    nothing, 
    the 
    hol
    low 
    answer 
    said 

    I 
    let 
    her ride 
    the 
    railroad 
    line 
    to 
    nowhere 

    And 
    I left 
    the 
    lost 
    survivor 
    on 
    her 
    bed 

    Crying 
    painter, 
    look, 
    it's 
    morning 

    She 
    stared 
    like 
    a 
    saint 
    undone 

    Crying 
    painter, 
    look, 
    it's 
    morning 

    And 
    we 
    cannot 
    find 
    the 
    sun

    Lady, 
    you returned 
    my 
    dream 

    It 
    once 
    was 
    real 

    It 
    held 
    my 
    life 

    Oh, 
    a 
    dream 
    ends 
    in 
    a 
    scream 

    Two 
    hearts 
    sewn 
    together 

    Good 
    night

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
