    Verse 1
    The priest 
    sat 
    in 
    the 
    airport 
    bar 

    He was 
    wearing 
    his 
    father's 
    tie 

    And 
    his 
    eyes 
    looked 
    into 

    my 
    eyes 
    so 
    far 

    Whenever 
    the 
    words 
    ran 
    dry 

    Be
    hind 
    the 
    lash 
    and 
    the circles 
    blue 

    He 
    looked 
    as 
    only 
    priest 
    can, 

    through 

    And 
    his 
    eyes 
    said 
    me 
    and 
    his 

    eye
    said 
    you 

    And 
    my 
    eyes 
    said 
    let 
    us 
    try 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 2
    He said, 
    "You 
    wouldn't 
    like 
    it 
    here" 

    No, 
    it's 
    no 
    place 
    you 
    should 
    share 

    The roof 
    is 
    ripped 
    with 
    hurricanes 

    And 
    the 
    room 
    is 
    al
    ways 
    bare 

    need 
    the 
    wind 
    and 
    I seek 

    the cold 

    He reached 
    past 
    the wine 

    for 
    my 
    hand 
    to 
    hold 

    And 
    he 
    saw 
    me 
    young 

    and 
    he saw 
    me 
    old 

    And 
    he saw 
    me 
    sit
    ting 
    there 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 3
    Then 
    he 
    took 
    his 
    contradictions 
    out 

    And he 
    splashed 
    them 
    on 
    my 
    brow 

    So 
    which 
    words 
    was 
    then 
    to 
    doubt 

    When 
    choos
    ing 
    what 
    to 
    vow 

    Should 
    choose 
    them 
    all, 

    should 
    make 
    them 
    mine 

    The 
    ser
    mons 
    the 
    hymns 

    and 
    the 
    valentines 

    An
    he 
    asked 
    for 
    truth 

    and 
    he 
    asked 
    for 
    time 

    And 
    he 
    asked 
    for 
    only 

    now 


    Verse 4
    Now 
    the trials 
    are 
    trumpet 
    scored 

    Oh 
    will 
    we 
    pass 
    the 
    test 

    Or 
    just 
    as 
    one 
    loves 
    more 
    and 
    more 

    Will 
    one 
    love 
    less 
    and 
    less 

    Oh 
    come, 
    let's 
    run 
    from 

    this 
    ring 
    we're 
    in 

    Where 
    the 
    Christians 
    clap 
    and 
    the 
    Ger

    mans 
    grin 

    Say
    ing 
    let 
    them 
    lose, 

    cry
    ing 
    let 
    them 
    win 

    Oh 
    make 
    them 
    both 
    confess

    • 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.
