    • Verse 1

    (Frank 
    Christian) 

    We returned 
    to that 
    five 
    room 
    flat 

    Now 
    it was empty 
    and 
    this the 
    last time 

    There were 
    blinking 
    pictures 

    Of 
    how we'd 
    sit and 
    chat 

    Some of 
    them are scattered 

    Others 
    shattered 
    in my 
    mind 

    Chorus 
    Verse 2

    It was 
    al
    ways 
    three 
    flights 
    up 

    Cathedral 
    bells kept 
    time 

    In 
    the 
    Verse 3
    winter, 
    a-chatterin' 
    cold 

    cold 

    While 
    the building 
    shook 
    like 

    ragweed 
    in the wind 

    Stories 
    from 
    the heat 
    pipes 

    We were 
    told 

    But 
    now they 
    only leave 
    me 

    With a half-en
    chanted 
    grin 

    Verse 4
    grin 

    Chor

    Bridge 


    Bicycles 
    squeezed 
    down alley 

    ways 
    into 
    view 

    And 
    towels 
    warmed 
    on oven 
    doors 

    To not 
    freeze 

    Was 
    the 
    only 
    thing to 
    do 

    I 
    wonder 
    if we 
    Verse 5
    kept 
    to 
    the 

    fair 
    warning 

    'Cause 
    I 
    can 
    see it 
    in the flower
    s 

    Dyin' 
    on the 
    window 
    sill 

    I 
    know we 
    must be 
    out 

    by tomorrow 
    mornin' 

    But am I 
    goin' 
    'gainst my 
    will

      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

      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 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.
