Except Brian,

Brian stared out across the field
C

And watch the ho rizon

blossom to cop a feel

Over the edge of the world

The one they're all afraid to walk

The rationate for why they're so

high on the small talk

But Brian knows where

the crows all go

To find the if's,

and the and's and the but's and also's

A
Am

If I could run through the woods,

and speed like the light
Dm

I'd find the answers to why,

If I could fly through the fog
Am

and look at this rock
C

I'd figure out how to keep

Hell off of my block

Tryin' to be the magic man,

Wishing that Brian would turn me on

While we keep burning the dawn,
Am

just to keep the day hot

But the alcohol don't make

Em
Am

Doesn't matter the season

the leaves can still fall

They slipped hidden messages within

the cards that were dealt
Dm

Trying to understand myself
Am

and all of the sorrow I felt
Dm

For as simple as I am how'd
Am

it get so complex
C

Got me studying the margins
Am

and disregarding the text
A

I open the curtains and listen
Am

to the traffic go

But I still get nervous each time

my piece passes go

Am

The residue is thick and the memory fails

I still laugh cuz the path feels a lot like a trail

Verse 5
A
Am

We used to be a couple of pimps

walking the hallways with pride
D

Drunk or sober,
Am

life was nothing short of rollercoaster rides
F

Trip to the clubs,
Am

nod the skull to the rhythm

All we wanted out of life

was what was given
A
Am

And when you passed I wanted to take

back the time we wasted
D

I'd trade all the buzzes in
Am

for one more conversation

We can sit in the shade and discuss

the meaning of sacred
C
Am

Cause I can't see the garden no more,

just the aphids
A
Am

But the wind still blows

and the plains still grow
D
Am

And I wish your name was on

the guest list at my shows
Dm

I got to believe that you can see me
F

when I find my freedom
C
Am

Cause you got to meet the sun
B
Am

before you got to meet my son
Verse 6
A
Am

And when I see lightning,

feels like my buzz is heightening
D

Everytime I feel the sun,
Am

I can smell the love
F

And when I smell the air
Dm
Am

I can hear a child trying
C
Am

But everytime I hear a river I

think the mother is crying
Verse 7
A
Am

And when I see lightning,

feels like my buzz is heightening
Dm

Everytime I feel the sun,
Am

I can smell the love

And when I smell the air I

can hear a child trying

But everytime I hear a river I think the mother is crying

  • 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.
