    Verse 1
    tried 
    to communicate, 
    I tried 
    to relate 

    Now 
    all I want 
    to do 
    is 
    escape 

    and vanish 
    into 
    fantasies 

    ventured 
    out 
    of the 
    galaxy 
    into 

    the outer 
    regions 

    Where folks 
    believe 
    in 
    something 

    Much, 
    much 
    bigger 
    than their 

    demons 

    And aren't con
    trolled 
    by their 
    Verse 2

    circumstances 

    Sounds 
    ro
    mantic, 

    we'll 
    dance 
    with 
    it slowly 

    In 
    here 
    my failures 
    don't control 
    me 

    It's 
    a place 
    of solitude 
    but 
    I'm not 
    lonely 

    And 
    it's beautiful 
    but 
    let's 

    be reason
    able 

    Verse 3
    It's 
    just 
    not 
    real, 

    it 
    just 
    plays 
    with your 
    imagination 

    And 
    for 
    mo
    ment 
    or two 
    can 

    make 
    time 
    stand 
    still 

    But 
    when it's 
    over, 
    all 
    you have 
    is 
    a memory 

    had to 
    leave 
    'cause 
    the real 

    world 
    was calling 
    me 

    I left 
    my 
    youth 
    in pursuit 
    of the 
    truth 

    And 
    gained 
    a world 
    of dis
    honesty 

    see 
    Verse 4
    your 
    innocence 
    and 
    envy 
    it 

    re
    minisce 
    of 
    mine 
    and remember 
    it 

    Full 
    of 
    peace 
    full of 
    hope 
    full 
    of 
    truth 

    re
    member 
    when 
    used 
    to 
    be 

    you 
    before 
    you 
    be
    came 
    me 

    see 
    Verse 5
    your 
    innocence 
    and 
    envy 
    it 

    reminisce 
    of 
    mine 
    and remember 
    it 

    Full 
    of 
    peace 
    full of 
    hope 
    full 
    of 
    truth 

    remember 
    when 
    used 
    to 
    be 
    you 

    before 
    you 
    became 
    me 

    Verse 6
    Man, 
    it's sort 
    of overwhelming 

    It didn't 
    seem 
    like I 
    was storytelling 

    But 
    you didn't 
    believe 
    me 
    when 

    told 
    you 
    that 
    I could 
    see 

    My 
    hopes 
    and 
    dreams 

    come 
    alive 
    as 
    it seems 

    But 
    there's a 
    time 
    and place 
    Verse 7

    for 
    everything 

    Well, 
    left 
    my 
    imagination 
    there 

    Now it's 
    only 
    what I 
    can touch, 

    see, taste 
    and hear 

    With 
    my natural 
    senses, 

    wish 
    I could stretch 
    the limits 

    But 
    my 
    defenses 
    keep me 
    limited 
    Verse 8

    from the 
    boundaries 
    I set 

    So 
    I won't 
    get 
    burned 
    again 

    Sure, 
    I'd like 
    to be 
    optimistic 
    but that 

    doesn't 
    line 
    up 
    well 
    with reality 

    So 
    I'll go 
    to sleep 
    now 
    and 
    dream 

    of 
    younger 
    healthier 
    bet
    ter 
    me 

    see 
    Verse 9
    your 
    innocence 
    and 
    envy 
    it 

    re
    minisce 
    of 
    mine 
    and remember 
    it 

    Full 
    of 
    peace 
    full 
    of 
    hope 
    full 
    of

    re

    used 
    to

    Verse 10
    your 
    innocence 
    and 
    envy 
    it 

    reminisce 
    of

    and remember

    when

    you 

    before 
    you

    Verse 11
    take 
    innocence 

    for 
    ignorance 

    Don't 
    mis
    take 
    purity 
    for inexperience 

    Don't mis
    take 
    humil
    ity

    sin
    cerely 
    mean 
    this 

    You 
    understand 
    more 
    than you 
    Verse 12
    know 

    There's 
    no 
    goal 
    like 
    peace 
    of mind 

    So what 
    else 
    are you 
    trying 
    to find 

    What's 
    left 
    except 
    regret 

    and heartache 

    Verse 13
    And yes, 
    your 
    heart 
    will 

    break 
    and go 
    numb 

    Lots 
    of times 
    before 
    this 

    life 
    is 
    done 

    You'll look 
    for 
    answers 

    but there's 
    just 
    one 

    Patience, 
    one 
    day 
    it 
    will 

    Verse 14
    make sense 

    But waiting 
    is a pinch 
    waking 
    you 
    up 

    From the 
    worlds 
    you've 
    made 
    up 

    The one 
    where 
    you 
    dream 

    And 
    the one 
    where you 
    gave 
    up 
    time 

    To 
    create 
    a new 
    atmosphere 
    where 

    The 
    boy 
    and the 
    cynic 
    can 
    both 
    play 
    fair

    • 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.
