    Verse 1
    Promise 
    me 
    my 
    soul 
    to keep. 

    And 
    promise 
    me 
    you'll 
    never 
    sleep. 

    And 
    promise 
    me 
    that 
    when 
    it's 
    over, 


    Verse 2
    We will 
    drink 
    the 
    whole 
    world 
    sober. 

    Promise 
    me 
    that 
    lines 
    get 
    drawn. 

    Point no 
    point 
    to 
    wish 
    me 
    well. 

    Promise 
    me 
    there's 
    no 
    denying, 

    And 
    you 
    will stop 
    to 
    wish 
    me 
    well. 

    Oh 
    Verse 3
    promise 
    me. 

    Verse 4

    Promise 
    me 
    it'll 
    all 
    get 
    done. 

    And a lion's 
    share 
    of 

    good 
    will 
    last. 

    Promise 
    me 
    you'll 
    turn 
    away 
    first, 

    And 
    promise 
    me 
    you 
    won't 
    turn 
    back. 

    Verse 5
    For 
    all 
    the 
    years 
    we 
    kept 
    on 
    trying, 

    It 
    wasn't 
    'cause 
    we 
    were 

    scared 
    to 
    quit. 

    Promise 
    me 
    there'll 
    be 
    no 
    pity, 

    And 
    promise 
    me 
    there'll 
    be 
    safer 
    bets. 

    Verse 6
    Oh 
    promise 
    me 

    You 
    won't 
    make 
    these 
    promises. 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 7
    With 
    calloused 
    hands 
    we 

    forged 
    this 
    hammer, 

    Broke 
    these 
    rocks 
    into 
    equal 
    parts. 

    Sent 
    the sparks, 

    flyin' 
    off 
    the 
    handle. 

    Asked 
    for 
    nothing, 

    but 
    delivered 
    much. 

    Verse 8
    Never 
    were 
    the 
    main 
    event, 

    Always 
    played 
    the sideshow 
    tent. 

    The drunken 
    cowards 
    came 

    to 
    look 
    us 
    over. 

    Verse 9
    Can 
    you 
    promise 
    we 
    did 
    not 
    belong 
    there? 

    Oh 
    promise 
    me 

    You 
    won't 
    make 
    these 
    promises. 

    Interlude 2


    Prom
    ise 
    me 
    the 
    Verse 10
    best 
    you 
    know. 

    And 
    promise 
    me 
    you'll 
    break 
    down 
    slow. 

    And 
    when 
    you 
    find 
    the 
    nerve 
    to 
    quit, 

    Pass 
    it 
    'round 
    and 
    we'll 
    share 
    in 
    it 

    Verse 11
    There 
    is somethin' 
    cruel 
    about 
    this, 

    But 
    know 
    hopeful 
    it's 
    not 
    far 
    behind. 

    What 
    was 
    unknown 
    just 
    hours 
    ago, 

    Is 
    now 
    the 
    killer 
    with 
    the 
    angel's 
    eye. 

    Oh 
    Verse 12
    promise 
    me. 

    Oh 
    promise 
    me.

    • 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.
