    Verse 1
    I've 

    been 
    playing 
    such 
    a fool
    ish 
    game 

    To 
    think 
    I never 
    wanted 
    more 

    To 
    feel 
    that 
    si
    lence 

    when 
    you 
    went 
    away 

    To 
    be be
    hind 
    that 
    closing 

    door 


    Gone 
    are 
    all 
    those 
    old 
    famil
    iar 
    words 

    I 
    took for 
    granted 
    as 
    you 
    spoke 

    The 
    ties 
    that bind 
    are free

    ing 
    in 
    our 
    world 

    A 
    student 
    watched 
    them 
    as 
    they broke 

    Oh 
    angels 
    won't 
    you 
    sing 

    for 
    me 
    once more 

    Cause 
    I've 
    been down 
    somewhere 

    I've 
    never 
    been 
    before 

    The 
    hands 
    are 
    moving 

    but 
    no 
    plan 
    can 
    change 
    the 
    time 

    Here 
    on 
    this 
    island 
    of 
    mine 


    I've 
    only 
    got 
    myself 
    to 
    blame 

    For 
    all 
    the ashes 
    on 
    the 
    ground 

    An
    d 
    I 
    still 
    hold 
    on 
    to 
    that 
    flame 

    I 
    still 
    carry 
    it 
    around 

    Oh 
    angels, 
    won't you 
    sing 

    for 
    me 
    once more 

    Cause 
    I've 
    been down 
    somewhere 

    I've 
    never 
    been 
    be
    fore 

    The 
    hands 
    are 
    moving 

    but 
    no 
    clock 
    can 
    change 
    the 
    time 

    You're 
    on 
    the side 
    of 
    the mind 

    How 
    I 
    need 
    to 
    feel 
    your 
    body 
    next 
    to mine 

    The 
    band 
    are 
    playing 

    but 
    they're 
    marching 
    out 
    of 
    time 

    Just 
    give 
    me one 
    more 
    chance 

    and I 
    swear 
    I 
    won't let 
    you 
    down 

    Or 
    leave 
    me crawling 
    on 
    the ground 



    Oh, 
    won't you 
    sing 
    for 
    me 
    once more 

    Cause 
    I've 
    been down 
    somewhere 

    I've 
    never 
    been 
    be
    fore 

    The 
    hands 
    are 
    moving 

    but 
    no 
    clock 
    can 
    change 

    Change the 
    time, 

    you're 
    on 
    this island 
    of 
    mine 

    Oh 
    angels, 

    won't you 
    sing 
    for 
    me 
    once more 

    Cause 
    I've 
    been down 
    somewhere 

    I've 
    never 
    been 
    be
    fore 

    My 
    hands 
    are 
    moving 

    but 
    no 
    clock 
    can 
    change 
    the 
    time 

    You 
    run 
    this island 
    of mine 

    You 
    run 
    this 
    island 
    of 
    mine 

    You 
    run 
    this 
    island 
    of 
    mine 

    You 
    run 
    this 
    island 
    of 
    mine 

    You 
    run 
    this island 
    of You

      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

      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.
