    Verse 1

    s 
    on 
    an 
    overhead 
    map 

    Have 
    to 
    be 
    headed 
    somewhere 

    There's 
    probably 
    gonna 
    be 
    a 

    building 
    burning 
    in 
    town 

    When 
    you smell 
    smoke 
    in 
    the 
    air 

    Small 
    hopes 
    are seen 
    to still 

    be 
    small 
    ones 

    When the 
    hour 
    grows 
    late 

    And a 
    body 
    floating 
    in 
    a 
    water 
    tower 
    is 

    bound 
    to take 
    on 
    weight 

    Verse 2

    Somebody 
    comes 
    bearing 
    the standard 

    Just 
    when 
    you 
    need 
    to see 
    it 
    held 
    high 

    You 
    never 
    miss 
    your 
    water 

    Until 
    you're parched, 

    riding 
    home 
    from 
    the slaughter 

    Or
    acles 
    are seen 
    emerging 

    from 
    the 
    northern 
    mist
    s 

    And a 
    body 
    floating 
    in 
    a 
    water 
    tower 
    is 

    bound 
    at 
    the 
    ankles 
    and 
    wrist
    s 

    Verse 3
    Bound 
    at 
    the 
    ankles 
    and 
    wrists 

    Marks 
    in 
    the skin 

    From 
    where 
    the 
    ropes 
    have 

    been 
    digging 
    right 
    in 

    Verse 4
    Men 
    of 
    legend 
    built 
    the cities 
    of 
    the prairie 

    To 
    rise 
    from 
    the 
    horizon 
    at 
    night 

    Feel something 
    bigger 
    than 
    me 

    When 
    I see 
    them 
    trapped 
    in 
    the 
    headlight 

    Head 
    east
    , 
    head 
    north 
    by 
    northeast 

    Get 
    my 
    bearing 
    and 
    know 

    That 
    a body 
    floating 
    in 
    a 
    water 
    tower 

    only 
    has 
    one 
    way 
    to go 

    Float 
    downstream 
    Verse 5

    Let me 
    float 
    downstream 

    Floating 
    downstream

      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 🙂

      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.
