  • Intro 1

    Verse 1
    He was 
    crazy 
    of 
    course 

    From 
    the first 
    she 
    must 
    have 
    known 
    it 

    But 
    still 
    she 
    went 
    on 
    with 
    him 

    Verse 2
    And 
    she never 
    once 
    had 
    shown 
    it 

    And 
    she 
    took 
    him 
    off 
    the street 

    And 
    she 
    dried 
    his 
    tears 
    of 
    grieving 

    Verse 3
    She 
    listened 
    to 
    his 
    vis
    ions 

    She 
    be
    lieved 
    in 
    his 
    believe-ins 

    Oh, 
    Verse 4
    Oh, 
    he 
    was 
    the sun 

    burning 
    bright 
    and 
    brittle 

    And 
    she 
    was 
    the 
    moon 
    shining 

    back 
    his 
    light 
    a little 

    He 
    was 
    shooting 
    star 

    She 
    was 
    softer 
    and 
    more 
    slowly 

    Verse 5
    He could 
    not 
    make 
    things 
    possible 

    But, 
    she 
    could 
    make 
    them 
    holy 

    He 
    was 
    dancing 
    to some 
    music 

    No 
    one 
    else 
    had 
    ever 
    heard 

    Verse 6
    He'd 
    speak 
    in 
    unknown 
    lan
    guages 

    She 
    would 
    translate 
    every 
    word 

    And 
    then 
    when 
    the world 
    was 
    laughing 

    At 
    his 
    castles 
    in 
    the sky 

    Verse 7
    She'd 
    hold 
    him 
    in 
    her 
    body 

    Till 
    he 
    once 
    again 
    could 
    fly 

    Oh, 
    he 
    was 
    the sun 
    burning 

    bright 
    and 
    brittle 

    And 
    she 
    was 
    the 
    moon 
    shining 

    back 
    his 
    light 
    little 

    Verse 8
    He 
    was 
    shooting 
    star 

    She 
    was 
    softer 
    and 
    more 
    slowly 

    He 
    could 
    not 
    make 
    things 
    possible 

    But, 
    she 
    could 
    make 
    them 
    holy 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 9
    Well, 
    she gave 
    him 
    a daughter 

    And 
    she 
    gave 
    him 
    a son 

    She was 
    a mother, 
    and 
    wife, 

    And 
    a lov
    er 
    when 
    the 
    day 
    was 
    done 

    Verse 10
    He 
    was 
    too 
    far 
    gone 
    for 
    giving 
    love 

    What 
    he 
    offered 
    in 
    its 
    stead 

    Was 
    the knowledge 
    she 

    was 
    the 
    only 
    thing 

    That 
    was 
    not 
    in 
    his 
    head 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 11
    He took 
    off 
    East 
    one 
    morning 

    Towards 
    the 
    rising 
    sun's 
    red 
    glow 

    She 
    knew 
    he was 
    going 
    nowhere 

    But of 
    course 
    she 
    let him 
    go 

    And 
    as she 
    Verse 12
    stood 
    and watched 

    him dwindle 

    Much too 
    empty 
    to 
    be sad 

    He 
    reappeared 
    beside 
    her 
    saying, 

    "You're 
    all 
    I've 
    ever 
    had" 

    Verse 13
    Oh, 
    he 
    was 
    the sun 
    burning 

    bright 
    and 
    brittle 

    And 
    she 
    was 
    the moon 

    shining 
    back 
    his light 
    a little 

    He 
    was 
    a shooting 
    star 

    She 
    was softer 
    and more 
    slowly 

    Verse 14
    He 
    could 
    not 
    make 
    things 
    possible 

    But, 
    she could 
    make 
    them holy 

    Holy

    • 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.
