    • Verse 1
    The Earth 
    was 
    too 
    hot, 

    the 
    air 
    was 
    too 
    thin 

    I took 
    off 
    my clothes 

    I took 
    off 
    my skin 

    I crawled 
    to 
    the sea 

    that 
    was 
    crawling 
    from 
    me 

    so 
    I 
    could swim 

    yeah, 
    so 
    I 
    could swim! 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 2
    I 
    was 
    sick 
    of 
    the 
    land 

    I 
    was sick 
    from 
    the 
    heat 

    I 
    was 
    sick 
    of 
    the sun 
    an
    d 

    the sky 
    and 
    the trees 

    Over 
    the 
    air 
    that I 
    needed 

    to 
    breathe 

    When I held 
    with 
    my 
    hands 

    When I 
    walked 
    on 
    my 
    feet 

    I 
    took 
    off 
    my 
    clothes 

    I 
    took 
    off 
    my skin 

    Started 
    shedding 
    my 
    arms 

    To start 
    getting 
    my 
    fin
    s 

    Crawled 
    to 
    the sea 
    that 
    was 
    calling 
    for 
    me 

    so 
    I 
    could swim, 
    swim 
    the 
    ocean 
    wide 

    I 
    was 
    only 
    just 
    pas
    t 
    the 
    riptide 

    When 
    I died 

    When 
    I died 

    Verse 3

    Yeah 
    when 
    I 
    died 

    My 
    head 
    did 
    swell 

    I 
    said 
    to myself 

    Nature 
    should 
    take 
    its sweet 
    time 

    I was 
    already 
    losing 
    my 
    spine 

    I 
    was 
    sick 
    with 
    ? and 
    my 
    curtain 
    fell 

    It's 
    the 
    end 
    of 
    the story 
    I 
    was 
    certain 
    to tell 

    Watching 
    their 
    faces 
    as 
    they 

    pulled 
    me 
    from 
    the sea 

    Feeling 
    for 
    the place 
    I 
    thought 

    my 
    gills 
    would 
    be 

    Busted 
    and wrecked 

    Justly 
    in
    fected 

    My 
    body 
    bey
    ond 
    repair 

    Had 
    no 
    ob
    jection 
    sir 

    My 
    only 
    questions 
    were 

    Where 
    do 
    I 
    go 
    and 
    will 

    I know 
    when 
    I'm 
    there 

    But 
    I 
    really 
    couldn't 
    say 

    that 
    I cared 

    When 
    I 
    died 

    When 
    I died 

    Verse 4

    Yeah 
    when 
    I 
    died 

    My 
    head 
    did 
    swell 

    I said 
    to myself 

    Nature 
    should 
    take 
    its sweet 
    time 

    I 
    was 
    already 
    losing, 
    yeah!,

      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.
