    Verse 1
    He sits 
    low, 
    in a 
    shady 
    grove 

    Where 
    the 
    trees 
    arc 
    slow, 

    in the 
    shape 
    of 'you 
    know' 

    Marble 
    stairwells, waterfalls, 

    egrets' heads 
    and 
    open 
    arms 

    Whistling 
    through 
    his 
    pensive 
    teeth, 

    the 
    scene 
    is set 
    to peak 

    Like 
    how the 
    desert 
    meets 
    the reef 

    And 
    steals the 
    heart, 
    of the 
    thief 

    Verse 2
    She 
    walks 
    slow, 
    past the 
    reach of home 

    In a 
    Western 
    World, 

    far 
    from the 
    things 
    she 
    knows 

    Hanging 
    gardens, 
    patterned 
    walls, 

    the 
    books 
    of 
    Rilke, orchestras 

    Motioning 
    to 
    the slow 
    refrain, 

    the soul 
    is set 
    to gain 

    Or swal
    low 
    it 
    whole 

    The 
    causal 
    chain, 
    of 
    human 
    loam 

    Verse 3
    And as 
    seasons 
    go, 
    it's 
    a lot like 
    this 

    He 
    reasons 
    for a 
    look, 
    then a 
    glance 

    To the 
    path, 
    where she 
    passed 

    From the 
    page 
    of a 
    book, to 

    a perch 
    in the 
    grass 

    And 
    as 
    meetings 
    go, 
    it's 
    a lot 
    like 
    this 

    She 
    tiptoes 
    from the 
    path, 

    to the 
    edge of the 
    page 

    Where 
    she 
    dared, 
    to be 
    asked 

    What's 
    in a 
    name? 

    What 
    is 
    your name? 

    Verse 4
    And if 
    you let 
    me 
    know 

    won't 
    be 
    alone, 
    won't 
    be alone 

    And if 
    you 
    have 
    the time 

    to 
    talk to 

    I won't 
    doubt 
    you 

    And 
    if 
    I let 
    you 
    know 

    won't be alone, 
    I won't 
    be alone 

    And 
    if 
    you, 
    as 
    if 
    you start 
    to fall 

    I'll 
    be here 
    to 
    catch 
    you 

    Verse 5
    Turning 
    around, 
    he sighs, 

    "will 
    you sit 
    next 
    to me?" 

    Motioning 
    forward, 
    she replies, 

    "will you 
    walk next 
    to me?" 

    "I know my 
    lines, 

    and there's 
    a lot 
    less space 
    and 
    a little 
    bit of 
    time" 

    "I know 
    the play, 
    it's 
    fine" 

    Echoing 
    herself, 
    she says, 

    "will you 
    walk 
    close 
    to 
    me?" 

    Holding 
    his smile, 
    he replies, 

    "what 
    more 
    would you 
    ask 
    of 
    me?" 

    "I 
    know my mind, 

    and there's a 
    lot 
    less space 
    and a 
    little 
    bit of 
    time" 

    "I know 
    the 
    way, 
    it's 
    fine" 

    Verse 6
    And if 
    you let 
    me 
    know 

    won't 
    be 
    alone, 
    won't 
    be alone 

    And 
    if 
    you 
    have 
    the time 
    to 
    talk 

    to 

    I won't doubt you 

    And 
    if 
    I let 
    you 
    know 

    won't 
    be 
    alone, 
    won't 
    be alone 

    And 
    if 
    you, 
    as 
    if 
    you start 
    to fall 

    I'll 
    be here to catch 
    you 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 7
    He's 
    wasting 
    time, 

    you gotta 
    take 
    it slowly 

    May never 
    get a 
    chance 
    like 
    this 

    And 
    she 
    knows 
    he's wasting 
    time 

    And 
    she loves 
    the 
    way 
    he 
    tries 

    Even 
    though 
    she 
    knows the 
    lines 

    She's 
    taking 
    time, 

    you gotta 
    let 
    things 
    grow 

    May never 
    have a 
    chance 

    like 
    this 

    And he knows 
    she takes 
    her 
    time 

    And 
    he keeps 
    along 
    her side 

    All 
    hopes 
    to 
    keep along 
    her 
    side 

    Verse 8
    As seasons 
    go, 
    it's 
    a lot 
    like 
    this 

    He 
    reasons 
    for 
    look, then a 
    glance 

    To 
    the 
    path, 
    where she 
    passed 

    From 
    the page 
    of 
    a book, 

    to a perch 
    in the 
    grass 

    And as 
    meetings 
    go, 
    it's 
    a lot 
    like 
    this 

    She 
    tiptoes 
    from the 
    path, 

    to the 
    edge 
    of the 
    page 

    Where she 
    dared, 
    to be 
    asked 

    What's in 
    a name? 

    What 
    is 
    your name?

    • 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.
