  • Verse 1
    My 
    mother 
    had 
    a brother 

    They say 
    that 
    was 
    born 

    on 
    the 
    day 
    that 
    he 
    died 

    "Someone 
    to 
    cling 
    to" 
    she 
    said 

    "When all 
    the 
    noises 
    and the 

    Verse 2
    shame 
    came 
    calling" 

    My mother 
    had 
    brother 

    I thought 
    knew 
    them 
    all, 

    I thought 
    knew 

    But 
    she 
    lied 

    said, 
    "Show 
    me his 
    face 
    again, 

    Tell 
    me 
    again 
    why 
    he 
    died" 

    Verse 3
    She said 
    he 
    couldn't 
    wait 
    for 

    the things 
    that 
    I've 
    seen 

    She 
    said 
    he 
    wasn't 
    strong 
    enough, 

    he 
    never 
    dared 
    to 
    dream 
    a life 
    like 
    mine 

    Verse 4

    My 
    mother 
    had 
    brother 

    Over- 
    sensitive 
    and 
    kind 

    Seem
    it all 
    became 

    much 
    too much 
    for 
    him 

    It seems 
    he took 
    his 
    own 
    life 

    Mum, 
    I can
    't ima
    gine 
    the 
    joy 

    and 
    pain 
    in 
    equal 
    measure 

    Tears 
    in 
    the dirt 

    And 
    all 
    over 
    your 
    newborn 
    treas
    ure 

    Verse 5
    guess 
    he 
    had 
    to 
    wait 
    till 

    my momma 
    had 
    me 

    Guess 
    he 
    couldn't 
    wait 
    another 

    moment 
    to 
    be 
    free 

    In 
    end
    less 
    sky 

    Verse 6
    "But 
    mama, 
    will 
    you 
    tell 
    him 

    from 
    your 
    boy 

    The times 
    they 
    changed?" 

    guess 
    the world 
    was 
    getting 
    warmer 

    And 
    we 
    got 
    stronger

    "Mother, 
    will 
    you 
    tell 
    him 
    about 
    my 
    joy? 

    live 
    each 
    day 
    for 
    him" 

    The sun 
    came 
    out, 
    yeah 

    And 
    I'm 
    just 
    breathing 
    it 
    in 

    Yeah, 
    breathin'

    you 
    tell 
    him

    I guess

    Your son 
    came

    And 
    I'm 
    still 
    breathing

    Verse 10
    And

    all 
    for 
    you, 
    boy 

    I'm 
    bad 
    to the 
    bone, 
    I'm just 
    a little 
    torn 

    I'm 
    making 
    so 
    much 
    love 

    (I'm making 
    so 
    much 
    love) 

    Verse 11
    So 
    those 
    of 
    us 
    who 
    have 
    nothing 
    to 
    fear 

    We've 
    got 
    to make 
    damn 
    sure 

    that 
    it 
    was 
    worth 
    it 

    I'm 
    bad 
    to 
    the bone, 

    I'm 
    just 
    a little 
    stone

    I'm

    so 
    much 
    love 

    (I'm making so 
    much love) 

    Verse 12
    I was 
    prisoner, 
    but 
    he 
    saved 
    me 

    Broke 
    into 
    my 
    dreams 
    and said, 

    "Who 
    cares?" 

    was 
    prisoner, 
    so 
    disgrace 
    me 

    I'm 
    glad 
    to 
    be 
    home 

    And 
    don't 
    believe 
    they 
    care

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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 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.

      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.
