    Verse 1
    Wherever 
    we 
    go, 

    we'll 
    never 
    be 
    lost 

    Some 
    follow 
    the 
    compass 
    rose, 

    some 
    follow 
    the cross 

    Me, 
    follow 
    roads 
    compulsively till 

    sirens 
    call 
    me 
    off 

    Then 
    wander, 
    eyes 
    closed, 

    fol
    lowing 
    song 

    The 
    river's 
    Verse 2
    hymnal 
    and 
    the 

    leaves 
    are applause 

    Trees 
    sing 
    in 
    whispers 
    with 
    the 

    wind 
    pulling 
    their 
    arms 

    Hold 
    still 
    and 
    listen, 
    your 
    hand 
    on 
    my 
    heart 

    If 
    you 
    need 
    them 
    these 
    beacons 
    will 

    lead 
    you 
    back 
    to 
    the start, 
    yup 

    No 
    Verse 3
    axe 
    has 
    seen 
    these 
    woods 

    since 
    before 
    your 
    father 
    stood 

    The 
    path 
    is 
    beaten 
    good 
    from 
    the 
    feet 

    of 
    all 
    that 
    wandered 
    through 
    it 

    Old 
    growth 
    holds 
    hope, 

    let 
    the 
    brambles 
    scrape 
    your 
    skin 

    Scars 
    are 
    story 
    books, 

    Verse 4
    blood 
    will 
    wash 
    away 
    your 
    sins 

    Now 
    let 
    that 
    sun 
    slip, 

    then 
    let 
    that 
    moon 
    rise 

    Follow 
    in 
    no 
    footsteps, 

    listen 
    for 
    the 
    true 
    gods 

    Woods 
    will 
    play 
    tricks 
    upon 
    pretty 
    blue 
    eyes 

    Is 
    that 
    glimmer 
    the 
    river 
    or 
    your 
    village 

    finally 
    brought 
    back 
    to 
    life? 

    Verse 5

    Follow 
    me 
    tonight 

    I'll show 
    you 
    what 
    it's 
    like 

    To 
    be 
    alive 

    Verse 6

    know, 
    it seems 
    like 
    we're 
    all 
    lost 

    But 
    we 
    see 
    the secrets, 

    we 
    know 
    the 
    unknown 

    Know 
    the 
    unknown, 

    know 
    the 
    un
    known 

    Verse 7
    Keep 
    close, 
    hold 
    my 
    hand 
    girl, 

    just 
    be 
    strong 

    We 
    can 
    follow 
    this 
    river 
    right 

    back 
    to your 
    home 

    Back 
    to your 
    home, 

    back 
    to your 
    home 


    Verse 8
    At a palace 
    in 
    Versailles, 

    400 years 
    before 
    this 

    They 
    were 
    packing 
    up 
    supplies, 

    preparing 
    for 
    long 
    trip 

    They 
    may 
    not 
    survive, 

    many 
    of 
    them 
    know 
    this 

    But 
    they 
    would 
    rather 
    die 
    than 

    to 
    leave 
    the questions 
    open 

    Verse 9
    So 
    this 
    is 
    why 
    we try, 

    we 
    bet 
    it all 
    on 
    hopeless 

    And 
    swim 
    against 
    the 
    tide 
    until 

    our 
    every 
    bone 
    is 
    broken 

    sinking 
    ship 
    is 
    still 
    a ship 
    till 

    the captain 
    spoke 
    the 
    obit 

    Till 
    the 
    crew 
    has 
    flew 
    and 
    crow's 
    nest 

    slips 
    silent 
    beneath 
    the 
    ocean 

    Verse 10
    We set 
    sail 
    without 
    an 
    anchor, 

    we 
    count 
    upon 
    that 
    never 
    stop 

    An 
    anchor's 
    just 
    a coffin 
    nail 
    waiting 

    for 
    the hammer 
    drop 

    It holds 
    you by 
    the 
    ankles 
    till 
    it 

    pulls 
    you 
    to 
    the 
    Acheron 

    Trade 
    stable 
    to 
    be 
    able 
    to slip 

    Verse 11
    out 
    under 
    devil's 
    thumb 

    Keep 
    your 
    acres, 

    my 
    home 
    is 
    where 
    my 
    hat 
    is hung 

    On 
    postcard 
    printed 
    paper 
    and 
    love 

    notes 
    from 
    the 
    lattice 
    rungs 

    Blessed 
    are 
    the 
    vagrant, 

    the 
    lonely 
    are 
    the static 
    ones 

    It's 
    every 
    drifter's confirmation, 

    this 
    world 
    is 
    just 
    ravishing 

    Verse 12
    know, 
    it seems 
    like 
    we're 
    all 
    lost 

    We 
    can 
    follow 
    this 
    river 
    back 
    home 

    River 
    back 
    home, 
    river 
    back 
    home 

    know, 
    it seems 
    like 
    we're 
    all 
    lost 

    But 
    we 
    see 
    the secrets, 

    we 
    know 
    the 
    unknown 

    Know 
    the 
    unknown, 

    know 
    the 
    un
    known 

    Keep 
    close, 
    hold 
    my 
    hand 
    girl, 

    just 
    be 
    strong 

    We 
    can 
    follow 
    this 
    river 
    right 

    back 
    to your 
    home 

    Back 
    to your 
    home, 
    back 
    to your 
    home 

    know, 
    it seems 
    like 
    we're 
    all 
    lost 

    But 
    we 
    see 
    the 
    secrets, 

    we know 
    the 
    unknown 

    Know 
    the 
    unknown, 

    Outro 1
    know 
    the 
    unknown

    • 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.
