    Verse 1
    I grabbed 

    hold 
    of her 
    wrist 
    and 
    my 
    hand 
    closed 
    from 
    tip 
    to 
    tip 

    said, 
    you've 
    taken 
    the 
    diet 
    too 
    far, 

    you've 
    got 
    to 
    let 
    it slip 

    But 
    she's 
    not 
    eating 
    again, 

    she's 
    not 
    eating 
    again 

    She's 
    not 
    eating 
    again, 

    she's 
    not 
    eating 
    again 

    Verse 2
    ask 
    her 
    to speak 
    French 
    and then 

    I need 
    her 
    to 
    trans
    late 

    get 
    the 
    feeling 
    she 
    makes 
    the 

    meaning 
    more 
    significant 

    She 
    was 
    always 
    far 
    too 
    pretty 
    for 
    me 

    To 
    believe 
    in 
    a single 
    word 
    she 
    said, 

    believe 
    word 
    she 
    said 

    Verse 3

    At fourteen 
    her mother 
    died 

    in a routine 
    operation 

    From 
    al
    lergic 
    reaction 
    to 

    general 
    anesthetic 

    Spent 
    the 
    rest 
    of 
    her 
    teens 

    experimenting 
    with prescriptions 

    In a 
    futile 
    attempt 
    to 
    know 

    Verse 4
    more 
    than 
    the 
    doctors 

    She 
    said, 
    one 
    day 
    to 
    leave 
    her 

    Sand 
    up 
    to 
    her 
    shoulders 

    waiting 
    for 
    the 
    tide 

    To drag 
    her to 
    the 
    ocean, 

    to 
    another 
    sea's 
    shore 

    This 
    thing 
    hurts 
    like 
    hell 
    but 

    what 
    did you 
    ex
    pect 

    Verse 5

    And 
    all 
    you 
    can 
    hear 
    is 
    the sound 

    of 
    your 
    own 
    heart 

    And 
    all 
    you 
    can 
    feel 
    is 
    your 
    lungs 

    flood 
    and 
    the 
    blood 
    course 

    But 
    oh 
    can 
    see 
    five 
    hundred 

    years 
    dead set 
    ahead 
    of 
    me 

    Five 
    hundred 
    behind, 

    a thousand 
    years 
    in 
    perfect 
    symmetry 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 6
    Best 
    known 
    left 
    wrist 
    right 
    finger 

    through 
    all 
    the southern 
    states 

    On 
    every 
    video 
    games 
    machine 

    they 
    call 
    her 
    triple 

    There 
    were 
    racists on the 
    radio 
    try

    ing 
    to 
    give up 
    smoking 

    The chat 
    show 
    host, 
    he 
    joked 

    You 
    have 
    to 
    wait 
    for the 

    government 
    pro
    gram 

    You 
    Verse 7
    talk 
    about 
    your 
    politics 

    And I 
    wonder 
    if 
    you could 

    be 
    one 
    of them 

    But you 
    could 
    nev
    er 
    kiss 
    a Tory 
    boy 

    Without 
    wanting 
    to 
    cut 

    off your 
    tongue 
    again 

    Verse 8
    A good 
    place 
    to 
    look 
    to the 
    future 
    is 

    When 
    you are sat 
    at the sea 

    With the 
    salt 
    up 
    to your 
    ankles 

    And a 
    view 
    of the 
    end 
    of the pier 

    Verse 9
    You may 
    look 
    down 
    at your 
    model's 
    feet 

    And 
    wish that 
    you'd 
    just float 
    away 

    And 
    the weather 
    here 
    is 
    overcast 

    And the 
    sea 
    is the same 
    shade 
    of 
    gray 

    Verse 10
    So 
    the 
    land
    scape 
    before 
    you 
    looks 

    just like 
    the 
    edge 
    of the world 

    But 
    to the 
    left 
    side 
    and the 
    right 
    side 

    Either 
    way 
    is a crazy 
    golf 
    course 

    The sea 
    is 
    good 
    place 
    to 

    think 
    of 
    the 
    future 

    Verse 11

    And 
    all 
    you 
    can 
    hear 
    is 
    the sound 

    of 
    your 
    own 
    heart 

    And 
    all 
    you 
    can 
    feel 
    is 
    your 
    lungs 

    flood 
    and 
    the 
    blood 
    course 

    But 
    oh 
    can 
    see 
    five 
    hundred 

    years 
    dead set 
    ahead 
    of 
    me 

    Five 
    hundred 
    behind, 

    a thousand 
    years 
    in perfect 
    symmetry 

    A thousand 
    years 
    no 
    getting 

    rid 
    of 
    me 

    A thousand 
    years 
    in 
    perfect 
    symmetry

    • 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.
