    Hope 

    dies, 

    withered 
    on 
    the vine 

    Cold 
    before 
    its 
    time 

    Water 
    into 
    brine 
    and 
    dreams 
    die 

    Wait
    ing 
    to 
    be 
    fed 

    Long 
    before 
    they're 
    wet 
    to 
    life 

    So 
    here 
    we 
    are 

    Two 
    ships 
    without 
    sail 

    No 
    rudder 
    for 
    the 
    gale 
    wind

    Or 
    the 
    tail 
    spins, 
    mis
    you 

    Even 
    when 
    you're 
    near 

    You're 
    leaving, 
    pouring 
    out 
    like 
    tears 

    If 
    dreams 
    die 
    before 
    we 
    give them 
    life 

    Why 
    should 
    love 
    sur
    vive? 

    Hope 
    tries 

    First 
    you're 
    holding 
    hand

    Then 
    dreams 
    become 
    demands 

    And 
    passion 
    turns 
    to plans 

    And 
    love 
    tries 

    Blinded 
    by 
    tooth 

    to 
    turn 
    it
    s anger 
    into 
    truth 

    So 
    here 
    we 
    are, 

    two 
    ships 
    upon 
    the land 

    No 
    anchor 
    for 
    the 
    sand 
    dun
    es 

    When 
    the 
    earth 
    moves, 
    I miss 
    you 

    Even 
    when 
    you're 
    near, 

    you're 
    leaving 

    Pouring 
    out 
    like 
    tears 

    If 
    hope 
    tries 
    to 
    fight 
    the test 
    of 
    time 

    Why 
    can't 
    you and 
    I? 

    Feed 
    me, 
    pluck 
    me from 
    the 
    vines, 

    stop 
    the hands 
    of time, 

    turn 
    water 
    into 
    wine 
    and 
    seal 
    me. 

    Treasure 
    every 
    seed, 

    pleasure 
    in 
    the 
    need 

    Be 
    mine, 
    here 
    you 
    are 

    My 
    comet 
    in 
    the sky 

    Afraid 
    to spin 
    into 
    it high 

    And 
    burning 
    as 
    it 
    flies 

    I'll 
    miss 
    you 
    even 
    when 
    you're near 

    You're 
    bleak, 

    ring 
    -boring 
    and like 
    tears 

    If 
    dreams 
    die 

    Then 
    why 
    should 
    you and 

    We 
    were 
    born 
    to 
    fly 

    We 
    were 
    born 
    to 
    fly

    • 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.
