The Tornado chords by 
Owl City

Verse 1
A
D
It was just starting to drizzle
as I walked out the door
G
But I've delivered papers in the rain
Em
like that before
D
Three-thirty in in the morning,
I was happy as a lark
G
A
D
As I grabbed my bike and rode into the dark
Verse 2
D
I pedaled through the neighborhood,
the weather on my mind
G
But the wind was picking up and
Em
howling louder all the time
D
The sky churned like a cauldron and
the distant thunder roared
G
A
D
And I knew that I was in for quite a storm
Verse 3
G
A little rain never hurt no one,
A
so I kept pressing on
D
And I tried to tell myself,
G
A
it's always darkest before the dawn
Verse 4
D
Lightning struck an oak tree
as I leapt off my bike
G
The sirens started wailing but
Em
there was no good place to hide
D
I knew without a doubt,
there was a twister touching down
G
A
D
So I crawled into a culvert to wait it out
Verse 5
G
The little bit of courage I had
A
left was almost gone
D
But I tried to tell myself,
G
A
D
it's always darkest before the dawn
A
And
Verse 6
G
then the nightmare started,
Bm
it got deafeningly loud
D
Every fiber in me screamed out but
Em
Bm
I couldn't make a sound
G
A
The whirling of a vortex,
G
F#
Bm
a violent carousel
G
Abdim
A
F#
G
Dm
Fdim
It sounded like a freight train was dragging me to hell

Verse 7
G
That was when I saw my family
D
A
with my eyes shut real tight
G
Would they know how much I loved
Bm
A
them if this was how I died?
G
No, I vowed I'd not be murdered by a
D
A
Em
monster in the sky that night
D
Verse 8
A
G
But if I went home to heaven,
A
at least that's where I'd belong
D
Yeah, I tried to tell myself,
G
A
it's always darkest before the dawn
D
A
Bm
D

So I kept hanging on

Verse 9
A
E
The shadows slowly melted
as I was hunkered down
A
Till at last the worst was over,
F#m
the storm was dying out
E
I crept out of that culvert and I
went weak in the knees
A
B
'Cause what I saw was a somber
E
sight to see
Verse 10
E
There was nothing but destruction
and wreckage in that town
A
Cars were upside down and
F#m
houses leveled to the ground
E
A twisted trampoline was
hanging from the power lines
A
I blinked a tear back 'cause I
B
E
felt lucky to be alive
Verse 11
A
And that was how I learned to live when
E
B
you can run but you can't hide
A
How to feel trapped in a tunnel but
C#m
B
come out the other side
A
'Cause with all the stormy weather in the world,
E
you learn
B
C#m
To take life one storm at a time,
A
B
you don't have to be afraid
Verse 12
A
B
And now when there's bad weather on the way,
I stay calm
E
A
And I keep hanging on because it's always
B
darkest before the dawn
E

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
