  • Intro 1

    Verse 1
    Back 
    when 

    believed 
    in luck

    And 
    stones 
    & crosses 

    I'd put 
    a coin 
    found 
    on 
    the street 

    Towards 
    cosmic 
    losses 

    And passing 
    graveyards 
    in a car 

    Tra
    cing 
    every 
    falling 
    star 

    Luck was 
    never 
    very 
    far 
    from childhood 

    causes 

    Verse 2
    And pennies 
    kissed 
    with wishes 

    arced 
    into 
    the foun
    tains 

    And 
    time 
    was 
    said 
    to heal 
    all pain 

    And hope 
    move 
    mountains 

    And all 
    that 
    could 
    be
    fall 
    a heart 

    Or 
    break 
    this 
    perfect 
    life 
    apart 

    The 
    swords 
    we carried 
    could 
    not 

    do a 
    thing 
    about 
    them 

    Away 
    am going, 
    away 
    am 
    gone 

    Verse 3

    Ghosts 
    an
    d angels 
    are 
    but 
    memories 

    and 
    vis
    ions 

    And reven
    ants 
    are 
    out there 

    taking 
    up 
    position

    But 
    back 
    when 
    believed 
    in 
    you 

    You'd 
    raise 
    the sun 
    and 
    set 
    the 
    moon 

    How 
    could 
    I help 
    but love 

    you 
    holy 
    as 
    religion 

    Away 
    you are 
    going, 
    away 
    you 
    are 
    gone 

    Verse 4

    But 
    back 
    when 
    believed 
    in 

    luck 
    and words 
    as 
    spoken 

    found 
    a lie 
    could break 
    and split 

    the world 
    clean 
    open 

    And grief 
    be
    came 
    my 
    company 

    Pain 
    so 
    deep 
    could 
    not 
    breathe 

    All 
    be
    trayal 
    is 
    like 
    dying 
    in 
    slow 
    motion 

    Interlude 1



    Is 
    it luck 
    Verse 5
    that 
    makes 
    us 
    shout 

    or makes 
    us whisper 

    Is 
    it luck 
    that makes 
    us wise 

    or turns 
    us 
    bitter 

    With 
    our maps 
    that point 
    true 
    north 

    With 
    our 
    vows 
    we 
    sally 
    forth 

    The 
    swords 
    we carried 
    can't 

    protect 
    us 
    from 
    each 
    other 

    Away 
    we 
    are 
    going 

    Away 
    we 
    are 
    gone 

    Away 
    we 
    are 
    going 

    Away 
    we 
    are 
    gone

    • 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.
