  • Verse 1
    We 

    wanted 

    to know 
    when 
    we'd 
    be 
    free 

    What life 
    looked like 
    on the 

    other 
    side 
    of that 
    sanctuary 

    Believin' 
    some
    how 

    we'd make 
    them 
    proud 

    Knowin' 
    the sins 
    they made 
    and 
    figuring 
    we 

    could stay 
    on 
    common 
    ground 


    Verse 2
    Cigarette 
    smoke 
    in 
    an August 
    sky 

    Drinkin' 
    the beers 
    you convinced 

    your older 
    brother 
    to buy 

    We 
    hadn't 
    make 
    any 
    of 
    our mis
    takes 

    Our 
    world 
    was 
    in the 
    cradle 
    but 

    innocence 
    wasn't 
    in the 
    grave 

    And I 
    know 
    we can't 
    go 
    Verse 3
    back 
    in time 

    But 
    every 
    now 
    and then 
    you look 
    at me 

    and 
    I know 
    you wonder 
    why 

    We can't 
    get 
    back 
    to 
    when Septem

    ber 
    was 
    our 
    only 
    adversary 

    In the 
    lot 
    behind 
    St. 

    Mary's 


    Verse 4
    Well 
    I thought 
    I'd 
    be 

    all you'd 
    need 

    But your 
    heart 
    was 
    in the 
    dark 
    and mine 

    was 
    in 
    the weeds 

    I'm sure 
    the 
    dreamer 
    who 

    built 
    the first 
    trapeze 

    Fell 
    in love 
    with someone 
    who 
    grew 
    to 

    resent 
    the 
    goddamn 
    thing 

    And I 
    know 
    we can't 
    go 
    Verse 5
    back 
    in 
    time 

    But 
    every 
    now 
    and then 
    you look 

    at me 
    as 
    if to 
    wonder 
    why 

    We can't 
    get 
    back 
    to the 
    love 
    we made 
    before 

    our teen
    age 
    dreams 
    were buried 

    In the 
    lot 
    behind 
    St. 
    Mary's 

    St. 
    Mary's 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 6
    nightlight 
    glowed 
    in the 
    rectory 

    We told 
    ourselves 
    the pastor 

    must 
    be 
    sound 
    asleep 

    But 
    now 
    we're old 
    enough 
    to 

    know 
    he 
    never 
    slept 

    And that 
    God's 
    love 
    is 
    almighty, 

    but 
    our love 
    is just 
    bones 
    and flesh 

    And I 
    know 
    we can't 
    go 
    Verse 7
    back 
    in 
    time 

    But 
    every 
    now 
    and 
    then 
    you you reach 

    for me 
    and I close 
    my 
    eyes 
    and 
    try 

    To get 
    back 
    to 
    that 
    sum
    mer 
    and the blue 

    jeans 
    we were 
    wearin' 

    In the 
    lot 
    behind 
    St. 
    Mary's 

    St. 
    Mary's

    • 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.
