    Verse 1
    Everything 
    is 
    quiet 

    Since 
    you're 
    not 
    a
    round 

    And 
    live 
    in 
    the 
    numbness 
    now 

    In 
    the 
    back
    ground 

    Verse 2
    do 
    the 
    things 
    we 
    did 
    before 

    walk 
    Haight 
    Street 
    to 
    the 
    store 

    And 
    they 
    say, 
    "Where's 
    that 
    crazy 
    girl?" 

    You 
    don't 
    get 
    drunk 
    on 
    red 
    wine 

    and 
    fight 
    no 
    more 

    don't 
    see 
    you 
    any
    more 
    since 
    the 
    hospital 

    Chorus 1
    The 
    plans 
    make 
    still 
    have 
    you 
    in 
    them 

    'Cause 
    you 
    come 
    swimming 
    into 
    view 

    And 
    I'm 
    hanging 
    on 
    your 
    words 

    Like 
    always 
    used 
    to 
    do 

    The 
    words 
    they 
    use 
    so 
    lightly 

    only 
    feel 
    for 
    you 

    only 
    know 
    because 
    carry 
    you 
    around 

    In 
    the 
    back
    ground 

    I'm 
    in 
    the 
    back
    ground 

    Verse 3
    Words, 
    they 
    come 
    and 
    memories 
    all 
    repeat 

    lift 
    your 
    head 
    while 
    they 

    change 
    the 
    hospi
    tal 
    sheets 

    And 
    would 
    never 
    lie 
    to 
    you 
    no 

    would 
    never 
    lie 
    to 
    you 
    no 

    felt 
    you 
    long 
    after 
    we 
    were 
    through, 

    we 
    were 
    through 

    Chorus 2
    The 
    plans 
    make 
    still 
    have 
    you 
    in 
    them 

    'Cause 
    you 
    come 
    swimming 
    into

    Solo 1
    In 
    the 
    back
    ground 


    Bridge 1
    'Cause 
    felt 
    you 
    long 
    after 
    we 
    were 
    through 



    Outro 1
    Well, 
    you 
    come 
    swimming 
    into 
    view 

    And 
    I'm 
    hanging

    I'm 
    way, 
    I'm 
    way 
    in 
    the 
    background 

    I'm 
    in

    • 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.
