    Verse 1
    Hotel 

    hobbies 
    padding 
    dawn
    s 
    hollow 
    cor
    ridors 

    A 
    typewriter 
    cackles 

    out a stream 
    of 
    memories 

    Dryin' 
    out 
    a conscience, 

    evictin' 
    a night
    mare 

    Openin' 
    the doors 
    for 
    the dream

    s 
    to come 
    home 

    Verse 2
    We 
    live 
    out lives 
    in 
    private 
    shells 

    Ignore 
    our 
    senses 
    and 

    fool ourselves 

    To thinkin' 
    that 
    out 
    there 
    there's 

    someone 
    else 
    cares 

    Someone 
    to 
    answer 
    all 
    our prayers, 

    all our prayers 

    Verse 3

    Are we 
    too 
    far 
    gone, 

    are 
    we so 
    irrespons
    ible? 

    Have we 
    lost 
    our 
    balls 
    or 
    do we just 

    not 
    care? 

    We're terminal 
    cases 
    that keep 

    takin' 
    medi
    cine? 

    Pre
    tendin' 
    the 
    end 
    isn't 
    quite 
    that 
    near 

    Verse 4
    We 
    make 
    fu
    tile 
    gestures, 

    act 
    to 
    the camer
    as 

    With 
    our made 
    up 
    faces 
    and 

    PR 
    smiles 

    And when the 
    angel 
    comes 
    down, 

    down 
    to 
    deliver 
    us 

    We'll 
    find 
    out 
    after 
    all, 

    we're 
    only 
    men 
    of 
    straw 

    Verse 5
    But 
    everything 
    is 
    still 
    the same 

    Passin' 
    the time 
    and 
    passin' 

    the 
    blame 

    We carry 
    on 
    in 
    the same 
    old 
    way 

    We'll find 
    out 
    we 
    left 
    it too 
    late 
    one 
    day 

    To 
    say, 
    what 
    we 
    meant 
    to 
    say 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 6
    Just 
    when 
    you 
    thought 
    it 
    was safe 

    to 
    go 
    back 
    to 
    the water 

    Those 
    problems 
    seem 
    to 
    arise 
    the 
    ones 

    you 
    never 
    really 
    thought 
    of 

    The feeling 
    you 
    get 
    is similar 

    to somethin' 
    like 
    drownin', 
    hey 

    Out 
    of 
    your mind, 

    you're 
    out 
    of your

    have 
    taken 
    soundings

    ever 
    come 
    across 
    us, 

    don't 
    give 
    us 
    your sym
    pathy 

    You can

    a 
    drink 
    and 

    just 
    shake 
    our

    s 

    And 
    you'll 
    recognize 
    by the re

    flection 
    in 
    our 
    eyes 

    That 
    deep 
    down 
    inside, 

    we're 
    all 
    one 
    and 
    the same

      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.
