    • Verse 1
    The rain 
    it started 
    tappin' 

    On the window 
    near my 
    bed 

    There 
    was a loophole 
    in 
    my dreamin' 

    So 
    I 
    got out 
    of it 

    And 
    to my 
    surprise 
    my eyes 
    were wide 

    and already 
    open 

    Just my night
    stand and 

    my dresser 

    Where those night
    mares had 

    just been 

    So I dressed 
    myself 
    Verse 2
    and left 
    then 

    Out into 
    the gray 
    streets 

    But everything 
    seemed different 


    And completely 
    new 
    to me 

    The sky 
    the trees, 
    houses, 
    buildings, 

    even 
    my own 
    body 

    And each per
    son I 
    encountered 

    I could
    n't wait 
    to meet 

    An
    d I came 
    upon 
    a doc
    tor 
    Who appeared 
    Verse 3

    in quite 
    poor health 

    I said 
    there's nothing 
    that I 
    can do 

    for you 
    you can't 
    do for 
    yourself 

    He said 
    oh yes 
    you can, 
    just hold 
    my hand, 

    I think 
    that that 
    would help 

    So I sat 
    with him 
    awhile 

    Then I 
    asked him how 
    he felt 

    Verse 4
    He said 
    I think 
    I'm cured 

    No, in fact, 
    I'm sure 
    of 
    it 

    Thank 
    you, stranger

    For your thera
    peutic 
    smile 


    Verse 5

    So that's how 
    I learned 
    the lesson 

    That 
    everyone's 
    alone 

    And your eyes 
    must do 
    some raining 

    If you're 
    ever gonna 
    grow 

    And when 
    crying 
    don't help 


    You can't compose 
    yourself 

    It's 
    best to 
    compose 
    a poem 

    An hon
    est verse 
    of longing 

    Or a simple 
    song 
    of hope 

    Verse 6
    That's why 
    I'm singing 
    baby 

    don't worry 

    'Cause now 
    I got 
    your back 

    And every time 
    you feel 
    like crying 

    I'm 
    gonna try 
    and make 
    you laugh 

    And if 
    I can't 

    If it just 
    hurts too bad 

    Then we'll wait 
    for it 
    to pass 

    And 
    I will 
    keep 
    you company 
    for 

    those days 
    so long 
    and black 

    And we'll 
    keep working 
    on 
    Verse 7

    the problem 

    We know 
    we'll never 
    solve 

    Of love's 
    un
    even 
    remainders 

    Our lives 
    are fractions 
    of a whole 

    But 
    if the world could 
    remain 

    within 
    a frame 

    Like a painting 
    on 
    a wall 

    Then I think 
    we'd see 

    the beauty 
    then 

    We'd stand 
    staring 
    in awe 

    At our still 
    lives 
    posed 
    Verse 8

    Like a bowl 
    of 
    oranges 

    Like a story 
    told 

    By the fault-lines 
    and 
    and the soil

      Best Tuning App Ever

      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.
