  • Verse 1
    I'll 
    make 
    reckless 
    predic
    tion 

    I'll still 
    be 
    in 
    the 
    kit
    chen 

    When 
    the 
    lights 
    come 
    on 

    think 
    we'll 
    probably 
    be 
    good 

    If stuff 
    is still 
    where 
    it stood 

    When 
    the 
    lights 
    come 
    on 

    Verse 2
    We 
    won't 
    remember 
    each 
    oth
    er 

    But 
    we'll 
    probably 
    recov
    er 

    Unless 
    everyone's 
    gone 

    It 
    might 
    be too 
    soon 
    to say 
    this 

    But 
    I think 
    that 
    we 
    may 
    just 

    See 
    the 
    lights 
    come 
    on 

    Verse 3
    See 
    I've 
    been 
    picturing 

    Dia
    grams 
    of 
    mas
    ter 
    plans 

    taught 
    myself 
    to draw 
    in 
    the 
    dust 

    With 
    what 
    remains 
    of 
    my 
    left 
    hand 

    Verse 4
    And 
    from 
    what 
    can 
    tell 

    I'll 
    be 
    no 
    more 
    than 
    a shell 

    Or 
    an 
    auto
    maton 

    But 
    we'll 
    be 
    laughing 
    and shit 

    It 
    will 
    have 
    been 
    worth 
    it 

    When 
    the 
    lights 
    come 
    on 

    Verse 5
    Unless 
    we 
    chicken 
    out 
    again 

    Which 
    is 
    exactly 
    how 
    we 
    ended 
    up 
    in 
    here 

    Our 
    guard 
    was 
    down, 
    we 
    were 
    disarmed 

    They 
    tampered 
    with 
    the smoke 
    alarm 

    Verse 6
    There 
    won't 
    be 
    any 
    more trouble 

    You'll 
    be 
    dragged 
    from 
    the 
    rubble 

    When 
    the 
    lights 
    come 
    on 

    And 
    I'll 
    be 
    looking 
    so 
    great 

    will 
    have 
    lost 
    some 
    weight 

    When 
    the lights 
    come 
    on 

    Verse 7
    We 
    will 
    be 
    growing 
    mus
    taches 

    Once 
    we're 
    raised 
    from 
    the 
    ashes 

    When 
    the 
    lights 
    come 
    on 

    We'll 
    be 
    encased 
    in 
    gold 

    Desiccated 
    and 
    old 

    When 
    the 
    lights 
    come 
    on 

    Verse 8
    See 
    I've 
    been 
    picturing 

    Dia
    grams 
    of 
    mas
    ter 
    plans 

    I taught 
    myself 
    to 
    draw 
    in 
    the 
    dust 

    With 
    what 
    remains 
    of 
    my 
    left 
    hand 

    Verse 9
    And 
    from 
    what 
    can 
    tell 

    Groping 
    around, 
    there's 
    something 
    else 

    feel 
    a face, 
    feel 
    pulse 

    Verse 10
    think 
    I'm 

    Tripping 

    Something's 
    got 
    me 
    by 
    the 
    hair 

    Let's 
    table 
    this 
    discus
    sion 

    Until 
    my 
    concus
    sion 

    On 
    the bottom 
    stair 

    Verse 11
    Unless 
    pass 
    out 
    once 
    again 

    And 
    find 
    the 
    bandage 
    where 
    my 

    kidney 
    used 
    to 
    be 

    Knocked 
    over 
    lamp, 
    some 
    broken 
    plates 

    Prescription 
    pads 
    for opiates

    • 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.
