All these

walls were never really there

Nor the ceiling or the chair

I am eking weeks of peace on a beach

I see the breezes weave the trees

These walls you find - they're

yours and mine

Confined not by them I

Verse 3
Bm

There's no rain on roof that
D

grates and beats me
G

My favorite tree breaking

lights to pieces
Bm
A

Sprinkling, shaded light on me
G

Throw a stone as high as you can
Bm
D

And hearing with hand not hear it land
G

Nothing taxing, dusting sand
Bm

My window and world
A

spins and twirls
G

The walls then fall, I recall the sore
Bm

White clouds white wash
D

faded spotless
G

The weighty shadows,

ranges of rocks
Bm
A

The cold is all illusion thought up
G

The stroll on the shore, snooze and explore
Bm
D

All possibilities in each new morning
G

Until satisfied reaching out, yawning
Bm
A

Fish in a big dish, some rice and spice
G

Salt over shoulder never (?)
Bm

The truth I've told was
D

si lence sometimes
G

But who soul does not

hide any crimes
Bm
A

Wrapped in walls, encircled by work
G

The walls fall - this story occurs
Bm

No barrier, no boundary,
D
G

all hours I please

The freedom to stay all stray
Bm
A

Be fiend or friend,
G

cause no harm but charm - the peaceful end

Bm

Pale ancient woods,
D

strewn white sandy bays
G

This ugly room pales away today
Bm
A

I am swimming, in the ocean
G

I sink slow motion

Fingers, toes floating
Bm
D

Every year 'til yesterday
G

Seeing the eternal setting sea
Bm
A

I compare all this to me
G

Little fleeting momentary me
Bm
D

I blink my eyes, this is reminding me
G

Life lies in the blink of an eye
Bm
A

The old die for reasons, new tide,
G

four seasons

New life born is like changing
Bm
D

All these walls were really never there
G

Nor the ceiling or the chair
Bm
A

I am eking weeks of peace on a beach
G

I see the breezes weave the trees
Bm
D

I am not here at all
G

You dearly fooled

I see busheling trees,
Bm

the shush at the sea
A

The mischievous
G

Fluttering seagulls

No!
Bm
D

I'm not trapped in a box,
G

I'm glancing at rocks

I am dancing off docks

Since this dance began

That's where I

am

  • 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.
