    Verse 1
    You 
    said that 
    you 
    were 
    with me 

    You 
    said 
    you were 
    my friend 

    Did you 
    really 
    love 
    the city 

    Or 
    did you 
    just 
    pretend 

    Verse 2
    You said 
    you loved 
    her 
    secret


    And her freedom
    hid 
    away 

    She was 
    better 
    than America 

    That's 
    what I 
    heard 
    you 
    say 

    Verse 3
    You 
    said 
    how 
    could 
    this happen 

    You 
    said how 
    can 
    this be 

    The 
    remnant 
    all 
    dishonored 

    On the 
    bridge 
    of 
    misery 

    Verse 4
    And 
    we who 
    cried 
    for mer
    cy 

    From 
    the 
    bottom 
    of 
    the pit 

    Was 
    our pray
    er 
    so 
    damn 
    unworthy 

    The 
    Son 
    re
    jected 
    it? 

    Verse 5
    So 
    gather 
    up 
    the killer

    Get 
    everyone 
    in 
    town 

    Stand 
    me by 
    those 
    pillars 

    Let me 
    take 
    this 
    temple 
    down 

    Verse 6
    The 
    king 
    so kind 
    and 
    solemn 

    He 
    wears 
    bloody 
    crown 

    So stand 
    me 
    by 
    that 
    column 

    Let me 
    take 
    this 
    temple 
    down 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 7
    You 
    said 
    how could 
    this happen 

    You 
    said 
    how can 
    this be 

    The chains 
    are gone 
    from 
    heaven 

    The storms 
    are 
    wild 
    and free 

    Verse 8
    There's 
    other 
    ways 
    to 
    an
    swer 

    That 
    cer
    tainly 
    is 
    true 

    Me, 
    I'm 
    blind 
    with 
    death 

    and 
    anger 

    And that's 
    no place 
    for 
    you 

    Verse 9
    There's a 
    woman 
    in 
    the win
    dow 

    There's 
    bed 
    in 
    Tinsel 
    Town 

    I'll 
    write you 
    when 
    it's over 

    Let me 
    take 
    this temple 
    down 

    Verse 10
    You said 
    you 
    loved 
    her secret


    Her freedoms 
    hid away 

    She 
    was 
    better 
    than 
    Amer
    ica 

    That's 
    what 
    I heard 
    you say

    • 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.
