    Along 
    Verse 1
    the 
    quayside, 

    you 
    were 
    light 

    An

    I, 
    reflection, 
    lay 
    across 
    the 
    river 

    an
    denied 

    You 
    were 
    transfixed 
    on 
    me 

    and 
    was 
    mesmerized 

    And 
    names 
    were 
    whispered 

    to 
    and 
    by 

    You 
    and 


    The 
    tides 
    began 
    to 
    steal 
    away 
    from 

    morning 
    light 

    As 
    night 
    receded, 

    river 
    waltz 
    seemed 
    to 
    grow 
    high 

    Then 
    you 
    climbed 
    down 
    into 
    my 

    arm
    and 
    closed 
    your 
    eyes 

    When 
    we 
    awoke, 
    we 
    had 
    been 
    drift
    ing 

    We 
    didn't 
    mean 
    to 
    go 
    to 
    sea, 

    we 
    didn't 
    mean 
    to 
    drift 
    away 

    We 
    never 
    planned 
    to 
    upwind 
    thee 

    But 
    still 
    the 
    sea 
    took 
    us 
    away 

    We 
    saw 
    no 
    lands 
    on 
    the 
    horizon 

    No 
    distant 
    shores 
    along 
    the 
    fray 

    Yet 
    all 
    the 
    more 
    we 

    found 
    ourselves 

    When 
    we 
    got 
    lost 
    at 
    sea 
    that 

    day 


    Timbers 
    creaked, 

    all 
    else 
    was 
    quite 
    unre
    lieved 

    Except 
    the 
    infant 
    waves 
    that 
    licked 

    and 
    lapped 
    along 
    the 
    eaves 

    It 
    had 
    to 
    dawn 
    on 
    us 
    our 
    truth 

    had 
    been 
    believed 

    Beyond 
    all 
    lies 
    and 
    jeal
    ousy 

    We 
    sailed 
    high, 
    wind 
    half 
    -mast 

    To 
    north 
    towards 
    the 
    edge 

    Of 
    our 
    dreams, 
    grateful 
    borders 

    That 
    matched 
    our 
    speed 
    to 
    stay 

    The 
    af
    ternoon 
    was 
    bleeding 
    to 
    death 

    And 
    soon 
    the 
    sky 
    was 
    racing 
    red 

    To 
    see the 
    stars 
    remove 

    their 
    hats 
    out 
    of 
    respect 

    We 
    didn't 
    mean 
    to 
    go 
    to 
    sea 

    We 
    did
    n't 
    mean 
    to 
    drift 
    away 

    We 
    never 
    planned 

    to 
    upwind 
    leave 

    But 
    still 
    the 
    sea 
    took 
    us 
    away 

    We 
    saw 
    no 
    lights 
    on 
    the 
    horizon, 

    no 
    dis
    tant 
    shores 
    along 
    the 
    fray 

    Yet 
    all 
    the 
    more 
    we 

    found 
    ourselves 

    When 
    we 
    got 
    lost 
    at 
    sea 
    that 
    day

    • 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.
