    Verse 1
    You 
    wait 
    for 
    a si
    lence 

    wait 
    for 
    word 

    Lie next 
    to 
    your frame 

    Girl 
    unob
    served 

    You change 
    your 
    po
    sition 

    And 
    you are changing 
    me 

    Casting 
    these shadows 

    Where 
    they 
    shouldn't 
    be 

    Verse 2
    We're 
    inter
    rupted 
    by the 

    heat 
    of 
    the sun 

    Try
    ing 
    to 
    pre
    vent 
    what's 

    already 
    be
    gun 

    You're 
    just 
    body 

    can 
    smell 
    your 
    skin 

    And 
    when 
    I feel 
    it, 
    you're 
    wearing 
    thin 

    Verse 3
    But 
    I've 
    got 
    plan 

    Why 
    don't 
    you 
    be 
    the 
    artist 

    And 
    make 
    me 
    out 
    of 
    clay? 

    Why 
    don't 
    you 
    be 
    the 
    writer 

    And 
    de
    cide 
    the 
    words 
    say? 

    'Cause 
    I'd 
    rather 
    pre
    tend 

    I'll 
    still 
    be 
    there 
    at 
    the 
    en

    Only 
    it's 
    too 
    hard 
    to 
    ask 

    Won't 
    you try 
    to 
    help 
    me 

    Verse 4

    Sat 
    on 
    your sofa, 
    it's 
    all 
    broken 
    springs 

    This 
    isn't 
    the 
    place 
    for 
    those 
    violin 
    strings 

    try 
    out a smile 
    and I 
    aim 
    it at 
    you 

    You 
    must 
    have 
    missed 
    it 

    You 
    al
    ways 
    do 

    Verse 5

    You 
    wait, 
    wait, 

    casting 
    shadows, 
    inter
    rupted 

    You 
    wait, 
    wait, 
    casting 
    shadows, 

    inter
    rupted 

    You 
    wait,

    • 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.
