    • Verse 1

    You 
    kick 
    the blow, 

    now 
    you gotta 
    kick 
    the guy 

    You 
    sat 
    alone 
    under 
    billowing 
    sky 

    If I 
    feel 
    god 
    judging 
    me, 

    Well I fell 
    into 
    the water, 

    now 
    I'm free. 

    Verse 2
    My friends 
    don't 
    really get 
    me, 

    think I'm 
    the only 
    one 

    Well 
    I sold 
    my soul 
    to Jesus 
    and since 

    then I've 
    had no fun 

    Behind 
    every tree 
    is a cutting 
    machine 

    and a kite 
    fallen 
    from grace 

    Inside 
    every man 
    is a heart 
    of sand 

    you can see 
    it in 
    his face. 

    He'll tick 
    tick tick 
    tick tick 
    tick tick 
    away. 

    An
    other second 
    lost 
    with every 

    fallen 
    grain. 

    He'll tick 
    tick tick 
    tick tick 
    tick tick 
    away. 

    An
    other second 
    lost 

    with every 
    fallen 
    grain. 

    The 
    wind 
    and I, 
    we speak 
    Verse 3
    the same, 

    but he 
    don't hear 
    so well. 

    You're 
    gonna 
    have to 
    curse 

    him well you're 
    gonna 
    have to 
    yell. 

    The sky 
    and I, we've 
    had our 

    fights and 
    I'm coming 
    down to 
    rain, 

    If 
    the rain come 
    round and it 
    don't come 

    out, then 
    I'll 
    never have 
    to speak 
    again, 

    I can 
    tick tick 
    tick tick 

    tick tick 
    tick 
    away. 

    Another 
    second 
    lost with 

    every 
    fallen 
    grain. 

    Can 
    tick tick 
    tick tick 

    tick tick 
    tick 
    away. 

    Another 
    second 
    lost with 

    every 
    fallen 
    grain. 

    Verse 4
    The 
    cap
    tains 
    got his 
    boots 
    on and he's 

    heading 
    out the door, 

    Leaving 
    his lady 
    alone 
    thinkin' 

    "he don't 
    love me no 
    more" 

    He's 
    done with 
    all this 
    bullshit, 

    he's 
    going 
    back to war, 

    If heaven 
    is as 
    heaven 
    does then 

    this is 
    hell for 
    sure 

    And he'll 
    tick tick 
    tick tick 

    tick tick 
    tick 
    away. 

    Another 
    second 
    lost with 

    every 
    fallen 
    grain. 

    He'll 
    tick tick 
    tick tick 

    tick tick 
    tick 
    away. 

    Another 
    second 
    lost with 

    every 
    fallen 
    grain. 

    You 
    kick the blow, 
    Verse 5

    now you 
    gotta 
    kick the 
    guy 

    You sat 
    alone 
    under 
    billowing 
    sky* 

    If I 
    feel 
    god 
    judging 
    me, 

    Well I 
    fell into 
    the 
    water, 
    now 
    I'm 
    free

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
