    • Verse 1
    Oh, 
    it 
    was 
    white 
    sand 

    and 
    deep 
    blue 
    waves 

    We 
    were 
    running 
    up 
    the shore 

    Sun 
    glints 
    on 
    sparkling 
    faces 

    I 
    don't 
    feel 
    or see 
    anymore 

    I 
    don't 
    feel 
    or see 
    any
    more 

    To 
    be 
    young 

    To 
    be 
    young

    We're 
    just 
    leaves 
    (leaves)

    floating 
    on 
    down 
    the stream 

    My 
    job, 
    my 
    house, 
    my 
    car, 

    my 
    whole 
    social 
    scene 

    So 
    high 
    are 
    the stakes, 

    every 
    move 
    you 
    make 

    Sends 
    us 
    down, 
    down, 

    down 
    in that 
    stream 

    Here 
    in 
    the 
    only 
    life 
    I 
    know 

    Those summer 
    days 
    rush 
    out 
    like 

    warm 
    air 
    from 
    my 
    lungs 

    That's 
    the 
    way 
    the 
    story 
    goes 

    All 
    I've learned 
    I 
    still 
    wish 
    I didn't 
    know 

    All 
    I didn't 
    know, 
    oh, 

    when 
    were 
    young 


    When 
    I 
    was 
    young 
    I 
    told 
    myself 

    I'd 
    keep 
    my 
    friends 

    They were 
    good 
    and 
    I was 
    true, 

    didn't 
    need 
    to 
    end 

    Oh, 
    but how 
    they've 
    risen, 

    they've 
    fallen 

    Like 
    the sun 
    circles 
    'round 

    Guess 
    I've 
    done 
    just 
    as 

    well 
    as 
    anyone 

    Hard 
    to 
    accept 
    it, 
    I'm 
    just 
    any
    one 

    But 
    here 
    in 
    the 
    only 
    life 
    I 
    know 

    Those summer 
    days 
    rush 
    out 

    like 
    water 
    from 
    the lawn 

    It's 
    just 
    the way 
    the 
    story 
    goes 

    Stand 
    in line 
    now 
    and 
    talk 
    about 
    the 
    day 

    When 
    we 
    were 
    young 





    My 
    conscience 
    could've 

    sunbathed 

    Every day 
    in 
    my 
    bright 
    blue 
    mind 

    Now 
    it's 
    crowded 
    with 
    guilt 
    and 
    purpose 
    and 

    I 
    just 
    want 
    it 
    all 
    aligned 

    I 
    just 
    want 
    it 
    all 
    aligned 

    I 
    just 
    want 
    it 
    all 
    aligned 

    Here 
    in 
    the 
    only 
    life 
    I 
    know 

    That's 
    just 
    the way 

    the story 
    goes 

    And I'll 
    be 
    damned, 
    I'll 
    be 
    damned 

    Here 
    in 
    the 
    only 
    life 
    I 
    know 

    Not 
    taking 
    order
    s, 

    I 
    don't 
    know 
    which 
    way 
    to go 

    That's 
    just 
    the way 
    the 
    story 
    goes 

    And 
    I'll 
    be 
    damned 
    if 
    I'm 

    to 
    live 
    it out 
    alone 

    Here 
    in 
    the 
    only 
    life 
    I 
    know 

    With 
    any 
    waste 
    of 
    time, 

    it 
    hits 
    so 
    close 
    to 
    home 

    It's 
    just 
    the way 
    the 
    story 
    goes 

    And I'll 
    be 
    damned 
    if 
    I'm 
    to 
    live 
    it out 
    alone 

    I 
    won't 
    live 
    it out 
    alone 

    Won't 
    live 
    it out 
    alone 

    We're 
    just 
    leaves, 
    leaves, 

    floating 
    on 
    down 
    the stream 

    My 
    job, 
    my 
    house, 
    my 
    clothes, 

    my 
    whole 
    so
    cial 
    scene 

    So 
    high 
    are 
    the stakes 

    So 
    high 
    are 
    the stakes, 

    every 
    move 
    we make 

    Sends 
    us 
    down, 
    down, 

    down 
    in that 
    stream 

    And one 
    day, 
    one 
    day, 
    one 
    bright 
    clear 
    day 

    I 
    think 
    we 
    all 
    might 
    just 
    disap
    pear 

    Sink 
    on 
    down 
    in that 
    river 
    cold 
    an
    d clear, 

    my 
    dear 

    On 
    down 
    like leaves 
    in an 
    icy 
    stream 

    On 
    down 
    like 
    leaves 
    to the 

    bottom 
    of an 
    icy 
    stream

      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.
