    Verse 1
    I 
    know 
    it's foolish, 

    and 
    I 
    feel 
    so 
    wrong, 

    But 
    I've 
    been 
    holding 
    this 
    candle 
    up 

    to the 
    sun 
    for 
    much 
    too 
    long. 

    But 
    when 
    the day 
    takes 
    its leave 
    of 
    the night, 

    I 
    can cast 
    aside 
    the 
    flame, 

    But the 
    morning 
    brings 
    obsession 
    and 
    ob
    session 

    brings 
    that 
    vigil 
    on 
    again. 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    Not 
    too 
    sentimental, 

    but 
    I want 
    you 
    to know, 

    That 
    I 
    drove 
    past 
    your 
    street 
    tonight 

    on 
    my 
    way 
    back 
    from a 
    show. 

    I 
    was 
    less 
    than 
    one 
    hundred 
    footsteps 

    away 
    from you 
    I 
    sup
    pose, 

    And 
    I could 
    feel 
    your 
    sweet 
    eyes, 

    watching 
    headlights 
    roll 
    by, 

    Maybe 
    you 
    noticed 
    one, 

    swept 
    by 
    a little 
    too 
    slow, 

    And 
    on 
    down 
    that 
    road. 

    Interlude 2
    On 
    down 
    that 
    road. 



    Verse 3
    We 
    ask these 
    question
    s, 

    then we 
    cover 
    our 
    ears, 

    But 
    I 
    think 
    a question 
    unanswered's much 
    worse 

    than 
    an 
    answer 
    you 
    don't 
    want 
    to hear. 

    When 
    your silence 
    grows 
    wings 
    and 

    your doubts 
    start 
    to 
    travel 

    Now 
    the 
    seams 
    between 
    the 
    virtual 

    and real 
    they 
    unravel 
    now. 

    What 
    have you 
    done? 

    Don't 
    you know 
    not 
    to stare 
    into 
    the sun, 

    But 
    on 
    down 
    that 
    road? 

    But 
    on 
    down 
    that 
    road? 

    But on 
    down 
    that 
    road 

    What 
    have 
    you 
    done? 
    Don't 
    you know 
    not 

    to stare 
    into 
    the sun
    ?

      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

      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 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.
