    Verse 1
    You 
    went 
    into 
    the kitchen 
    cupboard 

    Got 
    yourself 
    another 
    hour 

    And 
    you gave 

    Half 
    of 
    it 
    to 
    me 

    We 
    sat 
    there 
    looking 
    at 

    the faces 

    Of these strangers 
    in 
    the pages 

    'Til 
    we knew 
    'em mathematically 

    Verse 2
    They 
    were in our 
    minds 

    Until 
    forever

    But 
    we didn't 
    mind 

    We 
    didn't 
    know 
    bet
    ter 

    Verse 3
    So 
    we 
    made 
    our own 
    computer 

    out 
    of macaroni 
    pieces 

    And 
    it did 
    our 
    thinking 

    while 
    we 
    lived 
    our 
    lives 

    It 
    counted 
    up 
    our feelings 

    And 
    divided 
    them 
    up 
    even 

    And 
    we called 
    our 
    calculation 

    per
    fect 
    art 

    Verse 4
    Didn't 
    even 
    know 
    that 

    love 
    was 
    bigger 

    Didn't 
    even 
    know 

    That 
    love 
    was so, 
    so 

    Verse 5
    Hey 
    hey 
    hey 

    Hey 
    this 
    fire 
    it's 
    burnin'

    us 
    up

    Verse 6
    Hey

    us 

    Up 

    Verse 7
    Oh 

    Oh 
    oh oh 

    Verse 8

    So 
    we 
    made 
    the hard 
    decision 

    And 
    we 
    each 
    made 
    an 
    incision 

    Past 
    our 
    muscles 
    and 
    our bones 

    Saw 
    our hearts 
    were 
    little 
    stones 

    Verse 9
    Pulled 
    'em out 
    they 
    weren't 
    beating 

    And 
    we 
    weren't 
    even 
    bleeding 

    As 
    we 
    lay 
    'em 
    on 

    the granite 
    counter 
    top 

    Verse 10
    We 
    beat 
    'em up 

    Against 
    each 
    other 

    Verse 11
    We 
    beat 
    'em 
    up 

    Against 
    each 
    other 

    Verse 12
    We struck 
    'em 
    hard 

    Against 
    each 
    other 

    Verse 13
    We struck 
    'em so 
    hard 

    So 
    hard 
    until 
    they 
    sparked 

    Verse 14
    Hey 
    this 
    fire 
    it's 
    burnin' 

    Burnin' 
    us 
    up

    Verse 15
    Hey 
    this 
    fire 
    it's 
    burnin' 

    Burnin' 
    us 
    up

    Verse 16
    Hey 
    this 
    fire 
    it's 
    burnin' 

    Burnin' 
    us 

    Up

      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.
