  • Verse 1
    It 
    was 
    just 
    starting 
    to drizzle 

    as 
    I walked 
    out 
    the door 

    But 
    I've 
    delivered 
    papers 
    in 
    the rain 

    like 
    that 
    be
    fore 

    Three-thirty 
    in 
    in 
    the morning, 

    was 
    happy 
    as a 
    lark 

    As 
    grabbed 
    my 
    bike 
    and 
    rode 
    into 
    the dark 

    Verse 2
    pedaled 
    through 
    the neighborhood, 

    the weather 
    on 
    my 
    mind 

    But the 
    wind 
    was 
    picking 
    up 
    and 

    howling 
    louder 
    all the 
    time 

    The sky 
    churned 
    like 
    a cauldron 
    and 

    the distant 
    thunder 
    roared 

    And I 
    knew 
    that 
    I was 
    in 
    for quite 
    a storm 

    Verse 3
    little 
    rain 
    never 
    hurt 
    no 
    one, 

    so 
    I kept 
    pressing 
    on 

    And I 
    tried 
    to tell 
    myself, 

    it's 
    always 
    darkest 
    before 
    the dawn 

    Verse 4
    Lightning 
    struck 
    an 
    oak 
    tree 

    as 
    I leapt 
    off my 
    bike 

    The 
    sirens 
    started 
    wailing 
    but 

    there was 
    no 
    good place 
    to 
    hide 

    knew 
    without 
    a doubt, 

    there 
    was 
    a twister 
    touching 
    down 

    So 
    I crawled 
    into 
    a cul
    vert 
    to 
    wait 
    it 
    out 

    Verse 5
    The 
    little 
    bit 
    of 
    courage 
    I had 

    left 
    was 
    almost 
    gone 

    But 
    tried 
    to tell 
    myself, 

    it's 
    always 
    darkest 
    before 
    the dawn 

    And 
    Verse 6
    then 
    the nightmare 
    started, 

    it got 
    deafeningly 
    loud 

    Every 
    fiber 
    in 
    me 
    screamed 
    out 
    but 

    couldn't 
    make 
    sound 

    The 
    whirling 
    of 
    vor
    tex, 

    a vi
    olent 
    ca
    rousel 

    It sounded 
    like 
    freight 
    train 
    was 
    dragging 
    me 
    to 
    hell 



    And 
    this 
    was 
    my 
    pray
    er, 

    "Save 
    me 
    from 
    this 
    ter
    rible 
    night
    mare" 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 7
    That 
    was 
    when 
    I saw 
    my 
    family 

    with 
    my 
    eyes 
    shut 
    real 
    tight 

    Would 
    they 
    know 
    how 
    much 
    I loved 

    them 
    if 
    this 
    was 
    how 
    I died? 

    No, 
    vowed 
    I'd 
    not 
    be murdered 
    by 

    monster 
    in 
    the sky 
    that 
    night 

    Verse 8

    But if 
    went 
    home 
    to heaven, 

    at least 
    that's 
    where 
    I'd belong 

    Yeah, I 
    tried 
    to tell 
    myself, 

    it's 
    always 
    darkest 
    before 
    the dawn 

    So 
    kept 
    hanging 
    on 


    kept 
    hanging 
    on 

    Verse 9

    The shad
    ows 
    slowly 
    melted 

    as 
    was 
    hunkered 
    down 

    Till at 
    last 
    the worst 
    was 
    over, 

    the storm 
    was dying 
    out

    crept 
    out 
    of that 
    culvert 
    and 

    went 
    weak 
    in the 
    knees 

    'Cause 
    what 
    I saw 
    was 
    a somber 

    sight 
    to see 

    Verse 10
    There was 
    nothing 
    but 
    destruction 

    and 
    wreckage 
    in that 
    town 

    Cars 
    were 
    upside 
    down 
    and 

    houses 
    leveled 
    to 
    the 
    ground 

    twisted 
    trampoline 
    was 

    hanging 
    from 
    the power 
    lines 

    blinked 
    a tear 
    back 
    'cause 

    felt 
    lucky 
    to 
    be 
    alive 

    Verse 11
    And that 
    was 
    how 
    I learned 
    to live 
    when 

    you 
    can 
    run 
    but you 
    can't 
    hide 

    How to 
    feel 
    trapped 
    in 
    a tunnel 
    but 

    come 
    out 
    the 
    other 
    side 

    'Cause 
    with 
    all 
    the 
    stormy 
    weather 
    in 
    the world, 

    you 
    learn 

    To take 
    life 
    one storm 
    at 
    a time, 

    you 
    don't 
    have 
    to be 
    afraid 

    Verse 12
    And 
    now 
    when there's 
    bad 
    weather 
    on the 
    way, 

    I stay 
    calm 

    And 
    keep 
    hanging 
    on 
    because 
    it's 
    always 

    darkest 
    before 
    the dawn 

    Verse 13

    And I 
    keep 
    hanging 
    on 

    keep 
    hanging 
    on

    • 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.
