    heads 
    on

    we 
    lost 
    last 
    spring

    long 
    it's 
    been 

    Since 
    we 
    all 
    lived 
    in 
    peace 

    But 
    you can't 
    just 
    sit 
    and 

    grieve 

    The growing

    lieve, 
    believe

    Interlude 4
    Oh 
    these 
    crazy 
    times 





    Verse 8
    Well 
    I’m running 
    out 
    of new 
    words 
    to 
    say 

    And 
    the 
    sky’s been 

    grayish 
    blue 
    for 
    days 

    And 
    the slowly 
    growing 
    sympathy 

    Waits 
    for 
    me 
    on 
    every 
    face. 

    Verse 9

    I’m trying 
    to figure 
    out 
    what 
    clever 
    is 

    look 
    for 
    clues 
    in 
    awkward 
    silences. 

    And 
    don’t know 
    what 
    happened 

    But 
    I’ve been 
    this 
    way 
    ever 
    since. 

    Verse 10

    And 
    the truth 
    that 
    keeps 

    me 
    up 
    at night 

    Is somehow 
    hard 
    to 
    recognize 

    And 
    the 
    world 
    is 
    keeping 
    both 

    my 
    eyes 
    closed. 

    Yeah 
    everybody 
    knows. 

    Interlude 5

    There 
    are 
    elephants 
    Verse 11
    in 
    every 
    room 
    see, 


    They softly 
    hum 
    be
    neath 
    the words 
    we speak. 


    We’ve sugarcoating everything 

    And 
    now 
    it’s rotting 
    out 
    my 
    teeth. 

    Verse 12

    And 
    the 
    truth 
    that 
    keeps 
    me 
    up 
    at night 

    Is 
    the 
    hardest 
    thing 
    to 
    recognize. 

    And 
    the 
    world 
    is 
    telling 
    my 
    eyes 

    What 
    to 
    see 

    And 
    everybody 
    knows 

    but 
    me. 

    Interlude 6

    To 
    live 
    Verse 13
    you 
    have 
    to 
    know 
    what 
    to 
    ignore 

    Decisions 
    set 
    the 
    good 
    and 
    bad 
    at 
    war 

    Your 
    life 
    is 
    what 
    you’ve chosen, 
    but 

    Living 
    is 
    the back 
    and 
    forth. 

    Verse 14

    And 
    the truth 
    that 
    keeps 
    me 
    up 
    at 
    night 

    Is 
    the 
    hardest 
    thing 
    to 
    recognize. 

    And 
    the world 
    is 
    pulling 
    my 
    eyes 
    closed, 

    closed. 

    And 
    time’s not 
    what 
    she 

    used 
    to 
    be 

    She’s turned 
    into 
    an 
    enemy. 

    And 
    all 
    that 
    was 
    in 
    front 
    of me 
    is 
    behind. 

    God 
    knows 
    how 
    try.

      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.
