    Verse 1
    At 
    the 
    center 

    of 
    the 
    world 

    There 
    is a 
    statue 
    of 
    girl 

    She 
    is 
    standing 
    near 
    well 

    With 
    buck
    et 
    bare 
    and 
    dry 

    Verse 2
    went 
    and 
    looked 
    her 
    in 
    the 
    eye

    And 
    she 
    turned 
    me 
    into 
    sand 

    This 
    clumsy 
    form 
    that 
    despise 

    It scattered 
    easy 
    in 
    her 
    hand 

    Verse 3
    And it 
    came 
    to 
    rest 
    upon 
    beach 

    With 
    million 
    others 
    there 

    We sat 
    and 
    waited 
    for 
    the 
    sea 

    To stretch 
    out 
    so 
    that 
    we 
    could 
    disappear 

    Verse 4
    Into 
    the 
    endlessness 
    of 
    blue 

    Into 
    the 
    horror 
    of 
    the 
    truth 

    You see, 
    we are 
    far 
    less 

    than 
    we 
    knew 

    Yeah, we 
    are 
    far 
    less 
    than 
    we 
    knew 

    Verse 5

    But we 
    knew 
    what 
    we 
    could 
    taste 

    Girls 
    found 
    honey 
    to drench 
    our 
    hands 

    The 
    men 
    cut 
    marble 
    to mark 
    our 
    graves 

    Said 
    we'll 
    need something 
    to 
    remind 
    us 

    Verse 6
    Of 
    all 
    the sweetness 
    that 
    has 

    passed 
    through 
    us 

    (Fresh sangria 
    and 
    lem
    on 
    tea) 

    The priest
    s dressed 
    children 
    for 
    choir 

    (White-robed small voices 
    praise 
    Him) 

    Verse 7
    But 
    found 
    no 
    joy 
    in what 
    was 
    sung 

    The fu
    neral 
    had 
    begun 
    in 

    the 
    middle 
    of 
    the 
    day 

    When 
    you 
    drive 
    home 
    to 
    your 
    place 

    From 
    that 
    job 
    that 
    makes 
    you 
    sleep

    Verse 8
    Back 
    to 
    the 
    thought

    that keep 
    you 
    awake 

    Long 
    after 
    night 
    has 
    come 
    to 
    claim 

    Any 
    light 
    that 
    still 
    remain

    In 
    the 
    corner 
    of 
    the 
    frame 

    That 
    you 
    put 
    around 
    her 
    face 

    Verse 9

    Two 
    pills 
    just 
    weren't 
    enough 

    The alarm 
    clock 
    is going 
    off 
    but 

    you 
    are not 
    waking 
    up 

    This 
    isn't 
    hap
    pening, 

    happening 
    happening 

    Happening, 
    happening 

    Outro 1
    It is

    • 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.
