Verse 1
G
C
When I was 10 years old I always
D
G
needed to be told
C
That I should not be frightened
D
G
by the fact that we grow old
Em
C
But as the days slipped by I felt
D
G
the pressing need to cry
Em
G
And I quickly understood
C
D
G
exactly why they'd had to lie
Verse 2
G
C
In the daylight I could cope,
D
G
because the sun seemed full of hope
C
I laughed enough for two grown
D
G
men and learnt I could tell jokes
Em
C
But sadness has a subtle face
D
G
and then it came to gloat
C
We heard about the girl and boy
D
G
hung by their skipping rope
Verse 3
Em
D
G
Isn't it too hard to conceive
Em
D
G
Doesn't it bring you to your knees?
Em
D
C
G
And all I want to do
Em
D
Is to float with the river so free.
G
Verse 4
C
Now, fear is not a gentle thing
D
G
although it has no fists
C
It crawls down from your thoughts
D
G
and ties you by your skinny wrists
Em
C
Death will take your lips from you
D
G
so that you cannot kiss
C
But fear will leave you screaming
D
G
out for all the love you'll miss
Verse 5
G
D
C
And I had a friend who thought he
D
G
knew exactly where he stood
C
A place in heaven's safe for
D
G
him as long as he did good
Em
C
But life and love ran through his
D
G
veins and opened up his mind
C
Now he's got his gun but a new
D
G
terror sings at night
Verse 6

Isn't it too hard to conceive

Verse 7
C
And Larkin is the master
D
G
in this poetry of fear
C
But he could never capture
D
G
what cried darkly in his ears
Em
C
And he would understand that though
D
G
I wrote these words to sing
C
These petty s cannot hope
D
to tell you anything
G
Verse 8
Em
D
G
Isn't it too hard to conceive
Em

G
Doesn't it bring you to your knees
Em

Verse 9
G
C
So everyday I'll stop these thoughts
D
G
before they'll take a hold
C
Lying in my bed pretending
D
G
that I won't grow old
Em
C
And maybe when I'm 84 I'll
D
G
sit and sing this song
C
Just hope that if I do then this
D
G
fear is dead an d gone

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
