    She 
    was 
    Verse 1
    only 
    just 
    a 
    girl 
    in 
    a 
    picture 

    But 
    he thought 
    if 
    I 
    could 

    only 
    make 
    her 
    smile 

    Then 
    she'd 
    be 
    mine 

    He'd 
    folded 
    it, 

    re-folded it 
    it so 
    many 
    times 

    He'd 
    already 
    lost 
    some 
    of 

    her 
    to 
    the creases 

    Pre
    cious 
    pieces 

    Verse 2

    He 
    wondered 
    how 
    close 

    he'd 
    ever 
    been 
    to 
    her 

    In 
    this 
    ebb 
    and 
    flow 
    of 
    the 

    distance 
    between 
    us 

    Maybe 
    she 
    got 
    the same 
    bus 

    And he 
    left 
    a trail 
    of string 

    wherever 
    he 
    went 

    When 
    he 
    was sleepin' 

    he 
    tied 
    it 
    to 
    his 
    toe 

    If 
    she 
    crossed 
    it 
    then 
    he'd 
    know 

    Verse 3

    But 
    he 
    knew 
    that 
    all 
    was 
    unravelin' 

    And 
    he 
    was 
    bare, 
    stripped 
    of 
    his 
    skin 

    Like 
    the 
    ribs 
    of 
    a 
    broken 
    umbrella 

    Stickin' 
    out 
    of 
    a bin 

    Verse 4
    He's 

    pull 

    his collar 
    up 
    against 
    the 
    wind 

    Against 
    those 
    who said 
    that tryin' 

    Was 
    the 
    first 
    step 
    to 
    failin', 

    oh, 
    he 
    was 
    railin' 

    And filled 
    with new 
    found 

    purpose 
    and 
    pride 

    He'd 
    make 
    somethin' 

    of 
    this 
    heady 
    glow 

    Now 
    where 
    would 
    she 
    go? 

    Verse 5
    But 
    what 
    do 
    I 
    know 
    'cause 

    all 
    is 
    unrav
    elin' 

    And 
    he 
    was 
    bare, 
    stripped 
    off 
    his 
    skin 

    Like 
    the 
    ribs 
    of 
    a 
    broken 
    umbrella 

    Stickin' 
    out 
    of 
    a bin 

    Verse 6

    But 
    he 
    knew 
    how 
    to 
    fix 
    it, 

    dear 
    Liz
    a, 
    dear 
    Liza 

    With 
    time's 
    great 
    elixir, 

    dear 
    Liz
    a, 
    dear 
    Liz

    Verse 7
    She 
    was 
    only 
    just 
    a girl 
    in 
    a picture 

    But 
    he 
    thought 
    if 
    I 
    could 
    only 

    make 
    her 
    smile 

    Then 
    she'd 
    be 
    mine 

    Oh, 
    the 
    thought 
    of 
    being 

    faced 
    with 
    her

    Gave 
    him 
    the fear 
    and 
    sometimes 

    in the 
    morn
    in' 
    a tent 

    Oh 
    Lord, 
    give 
    him 
    strength 

    Verse 8
    'Cause 
    he 
    knew 
    that 
    all 
    was 
    un
    ravelin' 

    And 
    he 
    was 
    bare, 

    he 
    was 
    stripped 
    of 
    his 
    skin 

    Yeah, 
    he 
    knew 
    that 
    all 
    was 
    un
    ravelin' 

    And 
    he 
    was 
    bare, 
    he 
    was 
    stripped 
    of 
    his 
    skin 

    Like 
    the 
    ribs 
    of 
    a 
    broken 
    umbrel
    la 

    Stickin' 
    out

    Verse 9
    Stickin' 
    out

    Stickin' 
    out of 
    a 
    bin 

    Stickin' 
    out

      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 🙂

      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.
