    • Intro 1

    Verse 1
    I've 
    built some 
    dreams 

    I've 
    held them 
    close 

    Celebrated 
    per
    fect 
    days 

    I lost 
    the one 
    I loved 
    the 
    most 

    Now 
    she's 
    6 feet 
    of 
    earth 
    away 

    Verse 2
    I've 
    cried 
    til 
    I thought 

    I couldn't 
    stop 

    and I've 
    laughed 
    until 
    it 
    hurt 

    and I've 
    prayed 
    in an 

    empty 
    parking 
    lot 

    and my 
    friends 
    were 
    my 
    church 

    Verse 3
    Sometimes 
    the joy 
    can 

    give 
    you wings 
    to fly 

    Sometimes 
    the pain 
    will cut 

    you so 
    just 
    like 
    a knife 

    There's 
    fear, 
    there's 
    faith, 

    there's 
    loss, 
    there's 
    grace 

    I've 
    seen 
    it from 
    both 
    sides 

    This 
    is what 
    it 
    means 
    to be 
    alive, 

    alive 

    This 
    is what 
    it 
    means 
    to be 
    alive 

    Verse 4
    I've seen 
    the face 
    of 
    have 
    to have 

    Of 
    a child 
    without 
    a home 

    A 
    casualty 
    of 
    circumstance 

    Written 
    off 
    and all 
    alone 

    Verse 5
    I've 
    cried 
    for 
    the 
    wars 

    that they've 
    been through 

    and 
    I've 
    walked 
    by 
    their 
    side 

    I've 
    watched 
    what the 

    power 
    of love 
    can 
    do 

    and 
    how 
    it 
    changes 
    lives 

    Verse 6
    Sometimes 
    the joy 
    can 
    give 

    you wings 
    to fly 

    Sometimes 
    the pain 
    will 
    cut 

    you so 
    just 
    like 
    a knife 

    There's 
    fear, 
    there's 
    faith, 

    there's 
    loss, 
    there's 
    grace 

    I've 
    seen 
    it from 
    both 
    sides 

    This 
    is what 
    it 
    means 
    to be 
    alive, 

    alive 

    This 
    is what 
    it 
    means 
    to be 
    alive 

    This 
    is what it 
    means, 
    this 
    is what 
    it 
    means, 

    this 
    is what it 
    means 
    to be 
    alive, 

    alive. 

    Interlude 1


    This 
    is what it 
    means, 
    yeah 
    Verse 7

    Sometimes 
    the joy 
    can 
    give 

    you wing
    s to fly 

    Sometimes 
    the pain 
    will 
    cut 

    you 
    so 
    just 
    like 
    a knife 

    There's 
    fear, 
    there's 
    faith, 

    there's 
    loss, 
    there's 
    grace 

    I've 
    seen 
    it from 
    both 
    sides 

    This 
    is what 
    it means 
    to be 
    alive

      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.
