    Verse 1
    When 
    the rats 
    run 
    riot, 

    And 
    the screen 
    door 
    slams 

    When 
    the trees 
    grow 
    quiet, 

    Nothing 
    but cats 
    and cans 

    When 
    the breeze 
    says 
    "try 
    it", 

    But 
    you 
    can 
    hardly 
    see 

    When 
    your 
    love 
    has 
    died, 

    And 
    you 
    rat 
    on 
    me 

    Verse 2
    I see 
    your 
    eyes 
    in 
    the 
    half-
    light, 

    I 
    I see 
    the number 
    on 

    your 
    wall 

    Endless 
    strange 
    things 
    I 
    see 
    at 
    night, 


    You 
    don't see 
    anything 
    at all 

    Verse 3

    Shine 
    a 
    light 
    in
    to 
    your 
    soul 

    City 
    streets 
    so 
    freez
    ing 
    cold 

    City 
    shadows 
    mark 
    the 
    route, 

    When 
    they let 
    the 
    rat
    s out 

    Verse 4

    Rats, 
    you 
    call 
    it 

    love 
    alright 

    That 
    was 
    the catch, 

    a 
    cold 
    suicide 

    Verse 5
    Let 
    me 
    place 
    you 
    in 
    my 
    past, 


    With 
    other 
    precious 
    toys 

    But 
    if 
    you're 
    ever 
    feeling 
    low, 
    down, 

    In 
    the 
    fractured 
    sunshine, 

    I'll 
    help 
    you 
    feel 

    the 
    noise 

    Verse 6

    Shine 
    down, 

    You 
    can 
    go 
    on 
    home 

    Shine 
    down 

    Go, 
    go 

    Interlude 1



    Rats, 
    Verse 7
    you're 
    working 

    overtime 

    You 
    are 
    the moon 
    bey
    ond 

    your 
    mind 

    When 
    the 
    rats 
    run 
    riot, 

    And 
    the screen 
    door 
    slams 

    When 
    the world 
    goes 
    quiet, 

    You'll 
    all 
    know where 
    I 
    am 

    Verse 8

    You 
    could 
    be 
    my 
    open 
    road, 

    You 
    could 
    be 
    the 
    reason 

    why 

    You 
    could 
    ease 
    my 
    heavy 
    load 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    freeze 
    you 
    up 
    now 

    Verse 9

    You 
    can 
    let 
    it 
    shine, 

    Keep 
    that 
    in 
    mind 

    When 
    they 
    let 
    'em 
    out 
    next 
    time 

    You 
    can 
    move 
    a little 
    closer, 

    Until 
    you're 
    moving 
    all 
    up 
    around 

    my 
    shoulder 

    Verse 10

    City 
    shadows 
    mark 
    the 
    route 

    When 
    they 
    let 
    the 
    rats 
    out

      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

      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 🙂

      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 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.

      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.
