Verse 1
D#m
The very day you were born,
your light shone bold in the dark
C#
The doctor said you had a hole in your heart
G#m
I just knew you were making room
for a whole lot of heart
And loved you from that day
until your soul would depart
D#m
You took your first breath
upon my chest
C#
I built you a good nest before I left
G#m
It wasn't that I never loved your mother
But two happy homes are better
Verse 2
than one that suffered
D#m
Every regret in this life that I made
C#
Have been tempered by the strength
in your eyes everyday
G#m
I know that you never said
that you'd like me to stay
Still I'm sorry I neglected you
while I was away
D#m
You were eight
when we headed to casualty
C#
And no child should face
their death or mortality
G#m
You taught me patience,
strength and morality
And I'd burdened this weight
instead of you happily
Pre-chorus 1
D#m
That night,
you asked if you'd die from your sickness
C#
And why had it chosen your life out of millions
G#m
You filled me with the pride
I was missing
Cause grown men cry,
that lack your type of resilience
D#m
Only when it's dark that the stars are bright
C#
For your fight, you gonna harbour
these scars for life
G#m
But you're a brave little soul,
came in the cold
Like a fighter, hope you find
Chorus 1
the same flame when you're old
D#m
C#
Fall asleep and lay with me
G#m
C#
We'll search the night for shooting stars
D#m
C#
If they can't take away your pain
G#m
C#
I'll take your hand, walk through the dark
D#m
The dark
F#

Through the dark
Verse 3
D#m
I wrote this while you slept in a hospital bed
C#
Know this, your breath
at the cost of my breath
G#m
I'd forgo this life, that you'd go on in my death
If you'd know what it's like
to live long and regret
D#m
So you could fight, you could shove,
you could bleed and hurt
C#
You could cry, you could love,
and your creed will work
G#m
When your strides act dumb
and you teethe your words
It'll take a wife to become your sky,
Bmaj7
sea and earth
D#m
But if these are things that you never see
C#
With no god, just me, it'll set you free
G#m
And most others won't understand
the hell in which you've been in
'Til they wrestle with the demon
D#m
But take heart to be brave, but first we fear
C#
The same heart, the same pain,
G#m
you persevere, will serve you
I know this world is of course unfair,
and hurt you
But these virtues are yours to bear
Pre-chorus 2
D#m
I named you lionhearted
the day you were born
C#
They say the night is darkest
before the dawn
G#m
I'll take your hand upon this path
If you can light a spark,
then we can find some calm in a raging storm
D#m
Ain't nothing left to scare you see
C#
So we can live life and cherish
every breath we breathe
G#m
And no matter where you go,
know we'll never leave
Cause even when we're gone,
we're living in a memory
Chorus 2
So live
D#m
C#
(on) Fall asleep and lay with me
G#m
We'll search the night for shooting stars
D#m
C#
If they can't take away your pain
G#m
I'll take your hand, walk through the dark
D#m
C#
Fall asleep and lay with me
G#m
We'll search the night for shooting stars
D#m
C#
If they can't take away your pain

Let me know if that isn't so

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
