    Verse 1
    Boats 
    ease 
    into 
    the 
    harbor 
    bearing 

    real 
    suspicious 
    car
    go 

    And the 
    sunlight 
    on 
    the 
    wa
    ter 

    Sets 
    a 
    switch 
    off 
    in 
    your 
    brain 

    The 
    things 
    that 
    you've 
    got 
    coming 

    will 
    consume 
    you 

    There's 
    someone 
    waiting 
    out 
    there 
    in 
    an 

    al
    ley 
    with 
    a 
    chain 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 2
    The 
    ghosts 
    that 
    haunt 
    your 
    building 
    are 

    pre
    pared 
    to 
    take 
    on 
    sub
    stance 

    And the 
    dull 
    pain 
    that 
    you 
    live 
    with 

    isn't 
    getting 
    any 
    duller 

    There's 
    a 
    closet 
    full 
    of 
    al
    most- 
    pristine 

    video
    tape 

    Documenting sordid 
    little 

    scenes 
    in 
    living 
    color 

    Verse 3
    Here 
    they 
    come 

    The young 
    thousands 

    Here 
    they 
    come 

    The 
    young 
    thousands 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 4
    You 
    drive 
    east 
    from 
    the 
    ocean 
    with 
    both 

    hands 
    tied 
    on 
    the 
    wheel 

    And you 
    go 
    past 
    Garden 
    Grove 

    As the 
    pleasure 
    index 
    rises 

    The 
    things 
    that 
    you've 
    got 
    com
    ing 

    will 
    do 
    things 
    that 
    you're 
    afraid 
    to 

    There 
    is 
    someone 
    waiting 
    out 
    there 
    with 

    a 
    mouthful 
    of 
    sur
    prises 

    Interlude 3


    Verse 5
    The 
    ghosts 
    that 
    haunt 
    your 
    building 
    have 

    been 
    learning 
    how 
    to 
    breathe 

    They scan 
    the 
    hallways 
    nightly 

    vainly 
    searching 
    for 
    a 
    sign 

    There 
    must 
    be 
    diamonds 
    some
    where 

    in 
    a 
    place 
    that 
    stinks 
    this 
    bad 

    There 
    are 
    brighter 
    things 
    than 

    diamonds 
    coming 
    down 
    the 
    line 

    Verse 6

    Here 
    they 
    come 

    The 
    young 
    thousands 

    Here 
    they 
    come 

    The 
    young 
    thousands

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.

      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.
