    Verse 1
    After 
    I died, 
    and 
    the 
    makeup 
    had 
    dried 

    went 
    back 
    to 
    my 
    place 

    No 
    moon 
    that 
    night 

    But 
    heavenly 
    light 
    shone 
    on 
    my 
    face 

    Still 
    Verse 2
    thought 
    it 
    was 
    odd 

    There 
    was 
    no 
    sign 
    of 
    God 
    just 

    to 
    usher 
    me 
    in 

    Then 
    a voice 
    from 
    above 

    Sugar 
    coated 
    with 
    love, 
    said, 

    "let 
    us 
    begin" 

    You 
    got 
    to 
    Verse 3
    fill 
    out

    the 
    line 

    You 
    got 
    to

    you 
    wait 
    in 
    the 
    line 

    Verse 4
    Okay, 
    new 
    kid 
    in 
    school 

    Got 
    to 
    follow 
    the 
    rule 

    You 
    got 
    to 
    learn 
    the 
    routine 

    Woah, 
    there's 
    girl 
    over 
    there 

    With 
    the sunshiny 
    hair, 

    like 
    homecomin' 
    queen 

    Verse 5
    said, 
    "hey, 
    what 
    you say? 

    It's 
    glorious 
    day, 

    By 
    the 
    way 
    how 
    long 
    you 

    been 
    dead?" 

    Maybe 
    you, 
    maybe 
    me 

    Maybe 
    baby 
    makes 
    three 

    But 
    she 
    just 
    shook 
    her 
    head 

    Verse 6
    You 
    got 
    to 
    fill 
    out

    Verse 7
    Buddah and 
    Moses 
    and 
    all 
    the 

    noses 
    from 
    narrow 
    to 
    flat 

    Had 
    to stand 
    in 
    the 
    line 

    Just 
    to 
    glimpse 
    the 
    divine 

    What 
    you 
    think 
    about 
    that? 

    Verse 8
    Well 
    it 
    seems 
    like 
    our 
    fate 
    to 
    suffer 

    And 
    wait 
    for 
    the 
    knowledge 

    we 
    seek 

    It's 
    all 
    his 
    design, 
    no 
    one 
    cuts 
    in 
    the 
    line 

    No 
    one 
    here, 
    likes 
    a sneak

    then 
    you 
    wait 
    in 
    the 
    line

    Verse 10
    After 
    you 
    climb, 
    up 
    the 
    ladder 
    of 
    time 

    The Lord 
    God 
    is 

    here 

    Face 
    to 
    face, 
    in 
    the 
    vastness 
    of 
    space 

    Your 
    words 
    disappear 

    Verse 11
    And 
    you 
    feel 
    like 
    swimming 

    in 
    an 
    ocean 
    of 
    love, 

    And 
    the 
    current 
    is strong 

    But 
    all 
    that 
    remains

    • 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.
