    Predestination, 
    Verse 1

    not a thing 
    that you'd 
    plan 

    Misunderstanding, 

    or 
    line 
    in 
    the sand 

    Thunder 
    & lightning, 

    did 
    God 
    have 
    hand 

    Wasn't 
    it 
    frightening, 
    was
    n't 
    it 
    sad 

    Would 
    it have 
    mattered, 

    it 
    the timing 
    was 
    bad 

    Something 
    surprising, 
    or nothing 
    so 
    sad 

    night 
    at the 
    Wiskey, or 

    was 
    just 
    mad 

    Was 
    it intended, 
    why 
    was 
    I so 
    glad 

    Was 
    it so 
    lovely, 
    did 
    it seem 
    real 

    Was 
    there 
    a purpose, 

    just 
    can't 
    tell 
    you 

    It 
    was 
    always 
    Verse 2
    darkness, 

    time 
    was 
    never 
    on 
    your 
    side 

    That's 
    the rock 
    of ages, 

    and 
    could tell 
    you 
    why 

    I'd 
    talk 
    about 
    the 
    day
    time, 

    and 
    tell 
    you 'bout 
    the 
    night 

    You'll 
    have to 
    live in 
    dark
    ness 

    to 
    get 
    some piece 
    of 
    mind 

    Don't 
    try 
    to make 
    the 
    dark
    ness 
    bright, 

    night 
    will 
    always 
    dim 
    the 
    light 

    Verse 3

    Something 
    is 
    happening, 

    nothing 
    ain't 
    right 

    I've 
    been a 
    waiting, 

    waiting 
    all 
    night 

    Is 
    it on 
    purpose, 

    who 
    know 
    if 
    you might 

    I'm 
    biting 
    my nails, 
    right 
    through 
    to the 
    bone 

    seem 
    to be 
    dripping 
    my 

    blood 
    on 
    the 
    phone 

    It 
    was always 
    Verse 4
    darkness, 

    time 
    was 
    never 
    on 
    your 
    side 

    That's 
    the rock 
    of ages, 

    and 
    could tell 
    you 
    why 

    I'd 
    talk 
    about 
    the 
    day
    time, 

    and 
    tell 
    you 'bout 
    the 
    night 

    You'll 
    have 
    to 
    live in 
    dark
    ness 

    to 
    get 
    some piece 
    of 
    mind 

    Don't 
    try 
    to make 
    the 
    dark
    ness 
    bright, 

    night 
    will always 
    dim 
    the light 

    Verse 5

    If 
    could 
    tell 
    you 
    might 
    as 
    well 

    If 
    it 
    was heard, 
    the 
    honest 
    word 

    But 
    you 
    should 
    know, 

    like 
    no 
    one knows 

    The words, 
    just 
    can't 
    be 
    heard 

    Now 
    it don't 
    matter, 
    Verse 6

    it's 
    too 
    late to 
    care 

    It's 
    something 
    you'd saviour, 

    leave 
    up 
    in the 
    air 

    You 
    can
    't 
    criticise 
    it, 

    it 
    wouldn't 
    be fair 

    You 
    couldn't 
    do 
    that, 

    you'd 
    be such 
    a bore 

    It's 
    only 
    the 
    thinking, 

    that 
    altered 
    the score 

    It 
    was 
    always 
    Verse 7
    darkness, 

    time 
    was 
    never 
    on 
    your 
    side 

    That's 
    the rock 
    of ages, 

    and 
    could tell 
    you 
    why 

    I'd 
    talk 
    about 
    the 
    day
    time, 

    and 
    tell 
    you 'bout 
    the 
    night 

    You'll 
    have 
    to 
    live in 
    dark
    ness 

    to 
    get 
    some piece 
    of mind 

    Don't 
    try 
    to make 
    the 
    dark
    ness 
    bright, 
    night 
    will always 
    dim 
    the light

    • 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.
