    • Verse 1
    Lead me 
    through these 

    cities 
    of imaginary 
    trends 

    Something's 
    gonna be 
    changing 

    come the 
    morning time 
    my 
    friend 

    As 
    fickle 
    as 
    these streets 
    are they 
    might not 

    even 
    wait around 
    till 
    then 

    I've 
    got a lot 
    to 
    loose so 
    come and 

    take it 
    from me 
    quick 

    Verse 2
    Everything 
    you 
    loose 
    if it makes you 

    stronger 
    it makes 
    you sick 

    Take these 
    cities 
    from me 
    I'll build 

    buildings 
    up 
    with 
    my own 

    Bare 
    hands 

    The uppers 
    aren't 
    necessary 

    the 
    guilt 
    is 
    the coal 

    That 
    keeps 
    the fire 
    burning 
    Verse 3

    to 
    drive 
    out the 
    cold 

    That 
    creeps 

    In every 
    corner 
    crack and 

    nev
    er leaves 
    you 
    alone 

    Till 
    the lonely 

    Messengers 
    come 
    calling 
    you 
    back 
    Verse 4

    home 


    The trees 
    are stacked 

    In rows 
    on the side 
    of the 
    road 

    Stripped 
    of any dignity 
    a 
    birthing 

    Verse 5
    May have 
    had 

    100 thousand 
    crucified 
    on 

    the Mojave 
    I-5 
    line 

    Sing
    ers shepherds 
    and salesmen 

    all 
    longing 
    for someone 

    To 
    kill the 
    joy 
    of wondering 

    and 
    end all 
    their 
    desire 

    To 
    help them 
    to remember 
    Verse 6
    that 

    the road 
    is nothing 
    but 
    a li
    ar 

    The 
    uppers 
    aren't 
    neces

    sary 
    the guilt 
    is 
    the coal 

    That 
    keeps 

    The fire 
    burning 
    to 
    drive 
    out the 
    cold 

    That 
    creeps 
    in every 
    Corner 
    crack and 
    nev

    Verse 7
    er leaves 

    you 
    alone 

    'Til 
    the lonely 

    Messengers 
    come 
    calling 
    you back 

    To 
    the red door, 
    cracked 
    Verse 8

    And crooked 
    walk 
    way 

    The 
    fence 
    impaling 
    the 
    stars 

    Ghostly 

    Keepers 
    lead 
    the 
    way 
    through 
    Verse 9

    railroads 
    of abandoned 
    cars 

    The 
    tracks 
    and 
    city 
    streets 
    cut 
    through 
    like 
    scars

      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 🙂

      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.
