    • Verse 1
    On 
    the very 
    first 
    decade 

    that 
    we 
    got 
    to dream 
    in 

    Our 
    fathers 
    were 
    angry, 

    our 
    mother's 
    were 
    scream
    in' 

    At 
    the 
    clothes 
    we 
    were 
    wearin' 

    and the 
    music 
    we 
    got off 
    on 

    Hitler 
    was 
    dead, 

    welcome 
    to 
    Babylon 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    Carved 
    our 
    initials 
    out 
    across 
    the sand 

    The 
    heart 
    and 
    the 
    arrow 

    no 
    one 
    understands 

    Then 
    the tide 
    rolled 
    in 
    and 

    everything 
    ran 

    And 
    washed 
    us 
    away, 
    washed 
    us 
    away, 

    washed 
    us 
    away 


    Verse 3
    Up 
    in 
    the 
    attic 
    ambition 
    was 
    burning 

    Now 
    my 
    fingers 
    were 

    bleedin' 
    but 
    the tables 
    were 
    turning 

    Down 
    in 
    the 
    city 

    the future 
    was 
    beckoning 

    And 
    I 
    hated 
    myself 
    on 
    the 
    day 
    of 

    reckoning 
    (oh yeah) 

    Verse 4
    Carved 
    our 
    initials 
    on 
    top 
    of 
    the 
    cake 

    The 
    heart 
    and the 
    arrow, 

    the 
    rattle 
    and 
    the snake 

    How 
    was 
    I 
    to know 
    that the 

    Earth 
    was 
    gonna 
    break 

    And 
    wash 
    us 
    away, 
    wash 
    us 
    away, 

    wash 
    us 
    away 


    Verse 5
    Everything's 
    temporary 
    in 
    this 
    world 

    Ain't 
    it a 
    shame 
    when 
    you 

    lose 
    someone? 

    Here 
    tomorrow, 
    gone 
    today 

    Wash 
    us 
    away, 
    wash 
    us 
    away, 

    wash 
    us 
    away 

    Verse 6

    There 
    was 
    never 
    a 
    fool 
    like 

    a 
    young 
    fool 
    alone 
    in 

    A 
    world 
    without 
    someone 

    he 
    can 
    find 
    a home 
    in 

    And 
    for 
    all 
    the 
    wrong 
    reasons 

    we rescued 
    each 
    other 

    You 
    bandaged 
    my 
    heart 
    I 
    never 

    would 
    re
    cov
    er 
    (oh) 

    No 
    river 
    Verse 7
    runs 
    true; 
    it 
    al

    ways 
    takes 
    a 
    twist 

    Hearts 
    can 
    be 
    broken, 

    ar
    rows 
    gonna 
    miss 

    How 
    was 
    I 
    to know 
    that 
    it was 
    gonna 

    come 
    down 
    to 
    this 

    And 
    wash 
    us 
    away? 

    Verse 8
    And 
    we 
    wrote 
    our 
    names 

    on the 
    Dead 
    Sea 
    Scrolls 

    The 
    young 
    and the 
    restless, 

    the brave 
    and the 
    bold 

    How 
    was 
    we 
    to know 
    it 
    was gonna 

    get 
    outta 
    control 

    And 
    wash 
    us 
    away, 
    wash 
    us 
    away, 

    wash 
    us 
    away, 
    wash 
    us 
    away 

    Wash 
    us 
    away, 
    wash 
    us 
    away, 

    wash 
    us 
    away?

      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 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.
