    • Verse 1
    One 
    day 
    the 
    ceiling 
    falls 
    in 
    on 
    you 

    Your 
    more 
    than 
    perfect 
    world 

    Has 
    suddenly 
    come 
    un
    glued 

    There 
    you 
    are 

    One 
    day 
    your 
    fortress 
    is 
    so 
    much 
    dust 

    The 
    friends 
    you 
    thought 
    you 
    knew 

    Have 
    all 
    betrayed 
    your 
    trust 

    There 
    you 
    are 

    Head 
    over 
    heels, 
    nothing 
    to 
    cling 
    to 

    Stuck
    , 
    dumb, 
    dumb, 
    no 
    muses 
    to 
    sing 
    to 

    Four 
    winds 
    blow 
    you, 
    lift 
    you, 

    fling 
    you 
    to 
    the sky 

    You 
    know 
    you're 
    a 
    winger, 

    you 
    know 
    you're 
    gonna 
    sing 

    You 
    thought 
    you 
    had 
    the 
    whole 
    world 

    wrapped 
    around 
    your finger 

    You 
    always 
    said 
    it 
    was 
    the 
    song 

    you're 
    not 
    gonna 
    sing 
    after 
    all 

    You 
    said 
    you're 
    on 
    your neck, 

    you 
    thought 
    that 
    that 
    was 
    clever 

    You 
    said 
    you're 
    a bad 
    son 
    living 
    forever, 

    forever
    , 
    forever, 
    forever, 
    forever 

    But 
    af
    ter 
    all, 
    you 
    were 
    born 
    to 
    fall 


    One 
    day 
    trouble 
    will 
    seek 
    you 
    out

    You 
    can 
    run 
    and 
    you 
    can 
    hide 

    But 
    your 
    life 
    is 
    up 
    the 
    spout, 

    and 
    there 
    you 
    are 

    One 
    day, 
    nothing 
    makes 
    sense 
    at 
    all 

    Your 
    career's 
    slow 
    suicide 

    Your 
    brain 
    has 
    hit 
    the 
    wall, 

    and 
    there 
    you 
    are 

    Spin
    nin' 
    around 
    on 
    a 

    carousel 
    of 
    voices 

    Talk
    in' 
    in 
    tongues, 
    a 
    hundred 

    James 

    Joyce's 

    Screamin' 
    in 
    your head, 

    as 
    if 
    you 
    need 
    choices 
    after 
    all 

    You 
    know 

    John 

    Wayne, 
    you know 
    the 
    gunslinger 

    You 
    thought 
    you had 
    the 
    whole 
    world 

    wrapped 
    around 
    your finger 

    You 
    al
    ways 
    said 
    it was 
    the 

    song 
    of 
    the 
    sinner 
    after 
    all 

    You 
    said 
    you're 
    a 
    man, 

    you thought 
    that 
    that 
    was 
    clever 

    You 
    had 
    your 
    bets 
    on 
    living 
    forever 

    Forever
    , 
    forever, 
    forever, 
    forever 

    But 
    af
    ter 
    all, 
    you 
    were bound 
    to 
    fall 

    You 
    were 
    bound 
    to 
    fall 

    You 
    were 
    bound 
    to 
    fall 

    You 
    were 
    bound 
    to 
    fall

      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.
