  • Intro 1


    Verse 1
    Doted 
    on 
    like seeds 

    planted 
    in rows 

    The untied 
    shoelaces 
    of your 
    life 

    Nurtured 
    all year, 
    then 
    pressed 
    in 
    a book 

    Or 
    dis
    played 
    in 
    bad 
    taste 

    at the 
    table 

    Problems 
    arise 
    and 
    you 
    fan 
    the fire 

    While 
    there's 
    a wild 
    pack 
    of dogs 
    loose 

    in your 
    house 
    tonight 

    Cut you from 
    bad 
    cloth 
    or 

    soiled 
    like 
    sock

    Add it 
    up and 
    basic
    ally 

    people 
    never change 

    They just 
    talk 
    and make plans 
    Verse 2
    in the dark 

    Or make 
    haste 
    with ideas 

    that 
    can't 
    help 

    But creep 
    good 
    people 
    out

    As 
    you 
    talk 
    to me 
    too 
    much, 

    you're assum
    ing 

    We don't 
    al
    ways 
    want 
    what's 

    right 

    Verse 3

    Did I strike 
    the 
    right set 

    of chords? 
    You're annoyed 

    The 
    goal 
    is 
    to ig
    nite 

    you, then 
    move 
    on 

    You feel ill 
    at ease, you 

    got 
    no 
    squeeze 

    And the 
    wise 
    crack
    s won't 

    make 
    you more 
    stable 

    You've 
    learned 
    you lines 

    to 
    scale 
    and to 
    time 

    Why 
    must 
    I re
    mind 
    you now 

    I'm only less able 

    Cut 
    from bad 
    cloth 
    or 

    soiled like 
    sock

    We're 
    ordinary 
    people, 

    we 
    can't help 
    but to change 

    As we walk 
    Verse 4
    and 
    make plans 
    in the dark 

    Or make haste 
    with the boy 

    who 
    can't help 

    But 
    creep 
    good 
    people 
    out

    As 
    you 
    talk to 
    me 
    too 
    much, 

    you're assum
    ing 

    We don't 
    al
    ways 
    want 

    what's 
    right 

    Verse 5

    Two 
    fallen 
    sap
    lings 
    in an 
    open 
    field 

    Snow 
    padding 
    gently 
    on 
    an empty 
    bench 

    An 
    old woman's 
    jew
    elry 
    lying 
    unadorned 

    Coal 
    nesting 
    robins 
    allied 

    for 
    the first 
    time 

    I know 
    when 
    you hear 
    these 
    sappy 
    lines 

    You'll 
    roll your 
    eyes 
    and 
    say, 
    "nice try"

    • 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.
