    Verse 1
    Tonight 
    the bright
    est 

    moon 
    in a 
    hun
    dred 
    years 

    Flood
    s the streets 
    of 
    Rome 

    and I 
    am standing 
    here 

    Wondering 
    where 
    the ghosts 
    of Antiquity 

    Hide 
    on 
    nights 
    like 
    this 
    once 
    a century 

    Verse 2
    Where 
    do 
    shadows 
    fall 
    when 

    there's 
    only 
    light? 

    Why'd 
    you 
    follow 
    me 
    halfway 

    'round 
    the 
    world 
    tonight? 

    What 
    I'd 
    give 
    right 
    now 

    not 
    to 
    even 
    care 

    And 
    then 
    this 
    could be 

    someone 
    else's 
    prayer 

    Verse 3
    And on 
    a sleepless 
    night 
    by 

    St. 
    Stephen's 
    Green 

    Oh, 
    I turned 
    and tossed 

    with 
    my 
    Irish 
    dreams 

    And when 
    the morning 
    shone 

    through the 
    burned- 
    off 
    mist 

    could sense 
    you still 
    just 
    as 
    close 
    as 
    this 

    Verse 4
    Just 
    as 
    close 
    as 
    lips 
    brush 
    against 
    a cheek 

    It's 
    your 
    voice 
    hear 
    and 
    it's 

    your name 
    speak 

    But when 
    look 
    around 

    there's 
    no 
    one 
    there 

    How 
    I wish 
    you were 
    someone 
    else's 
    prayer 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 5
    And 
    now 
    the 
    twilight 
    comes 

    as a 
    si
    lent 
    guest 

    And of 
    all 
    its 
    gifts 
    like 
    stillness 
    best 

    Except 
    for tin- 
    roof 
    rains 
    that 

    commence 
    with 
    spring 

    It's 
    lul
    laby 
    when 

    that tin 
    roof 
    sings 

    Verse 6
    Now 
    you can 
    look 
    for me 

    on 
    the streets 
    of 
    Rome 

    Or 
    in Dub
    lin 
    town, 

    but 
    I've gone 
    back 
    home 

    would 
    always 
    be 
    just 
    a stranger 
    there 

    And 
    now 
    you're 
    free 
    to be 
    someone 

    Outro 1
    else's 
    prayer

    • 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.
