Verse 1
Am

The very day you were born

Your light shone bold in the dark
G

The doctor said you had

a hole in your heart
Dm

I just knew you were making room

for a whole lotta heart

I loved you from the day

until your soul will depart
Am

You took your first breath upon my chest
G
Dm

Built you a good nest before I left

It wasn't that I never loved your mother

But two happy homes are better
Am

than one that suffered
Verse 2
G

Every regret in this life that I made

Have been tempered by the strength

in your eyes everyday
Dm

I know you never said that

you'd like me to stay

Still I'm sorry I neglected

you while I was away
Am

You were eight when

we headed to casualty
G

And no child should face their

death or mortality
Dm

You taught me patience,

strength and morality

And I'd burden this weight

instead of you happily
Verse 3
Am

That night

You asked would you die

from your sickness
G

And why it hadn't chosen

your life out of millions
Dm

You filled me with the pride

I was missing

'Cause grown men cry that lack

your type of resilience
Am

Only when it's dark are the

stars so bright
G

For your fight,

you gon' harbour these scars for life
Dm

But you a brave little soul,

came in the cold

Like a fighter,
G

hope you find the same flame when you're old

Verse 5

Am

I wrote this while you slept

in a hospital bed
G

Know this,

your breath at the cost of my breath
Dm

I'd forego this life,

let you honour my death

If you could know what it's

like to live long and regret
Am

So you could fight, you could shove,

you could bleed and hurt
G

You could die, you could love,

learn your creed or worth
Dm

Earn your stripes, act dumb,

cut your teeth or worse

Or take a wife to become your sky,
F

sea and earth
Verse 6
Am

But if these are things that you never see
G

With no god,

just me here to set you free
Dm

And most others won't understand

the hell in which you been in

'Til they're wrestling with a demon
Am

But take heart, to be brave,

we first need fear
G

The same heart that's seen pain, yet
Dm

persevered will serve you

I know this world is of course

unfair and hurt you
F

But these virtues are your's to bear
G
I
Verse 7
Am

named you lionheart

at the day you're born
G

They say the night is darkest

before the dawn
Dm

I'll take your hand upon this path

if you can light a spark then

We can find some calm in
Am

a raging storm

Ain't nothing left to scare you, see
G

So we can live life and cherish

every breath we breathe
Dm

And no matter where you go,

know I'll never leave

'Cause even when we're

gone we're living in a memory

So live on

  • 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.
