    Verse 1
    One 
    day 
    my 
    skeletons 
    appeared 

    And 
    knew 
    where 
    they 

    were 
    coming 
    from 

    Hung 
    by 
    rope 
    volunteered 

    And 
    never 
    thought 
    the 

    day 
    would 
    come 

    Some 
    boundaries 
    once 
    overstepped 

    Short
    comings 
    must 
    now 
    accept 

    Secrets 
    that 
    could 
    not 
    be 
    kept 

    wish 
    my 
    skeletons 
    had 
    slept 

    Verse 2
    You're 
    not 
    being 
    honest 
    really 

    You're 
    really 
    not 
    and 
    ought 
    to 
    be 

    Take 
    an 
    honest 
    look 
    at 
    yourself 

    Try 
    a little 
    honesty 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    To 
    further 
    add 
    to 
    my 
    demise 

    Demons 
    never 
    exorcised 

    Ap
    peared 
    before 
    my 
    very 
    eyes 

    To 
    no 
    one's 
    just 
    my 
    own 
    suprise 

    scenario 
    just 
    so 
    surreal 

    Demons 
    once 
    so 
    well 
    concealed 

    Were now 
    throughout 
    my 
    whole 
    ordeal 

    So 
    real 
    and 
    painfully 
    revealed 

    Verse 4
    You're 
    not 
    being 
    honest 
    really 

    You're 
    really 
    not 
    and 

    ought 
    to 
    be 

    Take 
    an 
    honest 
    look 
    at 
    yourself 

    Try 
    a little 
    honesty 

    You're 
    not 
    being 
    honest 
    really 

    And 
    honestly 
    you've 
    never 
    been 

    You 
    ought 
    to 
    take 
    look 
    at 
    yourself 

    Let 
    the 
    honesty 
    begin 

    Verse 5
    In 
    flew 
    the 
    accusa
    tions, 

    the razor- 
    toothed 
    insinu
    ations 

    Each 
    ghost 
    my 
    own 
    cre
    ation, 

    and 
    every 
    monster 
    my 
    invention 

    Beasts 
    they 
    came 
    to 
    burden, 

    hell 
    let 
    whatever 
    stirred 
    in 

    And 
    couldn't 
    get 
    word 
    in, 

    at 
    this 
    un
    earthly 
    intervention 

    Interlude 2


    They 
    let 
    Verse 6
    up 
    when 
    they 
    knew 

    they 
    got 
    through 

    They 
    knew 
    I'd 
    never 
    be 
    the 
    same 

    With 
    little 
    left 
    to 
    say 
    or 
    do 

    They 
    left 
    as 
    quickly 
    as 
    they 
    came 

    The 
    life 
    was 
    scared 
    half 
    out 
    of 
    me 

    Some 
    way 
    somehow 
    survived 

    part 
    of 
    me 
    was 
    proud 
    of 
    me 

    The 
    day 
    my 
    skeletons 
    arrived

    • 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.
