    • Verse 1
    There's 
    a 
    drawer 
    in 
    my 
    house 
    that 
    I 
    try 

    To 
    keep 
    closed 
    but 
    it's 
    open 

    There's 
    a 
    commitment 
    that 

    I made 
    to 
    be 

    Somewhere 
    but 
    it's 
    broken 

    An 
    oblique 
    mantra 
    in 
    my 
    head 

    It 
    lies 
    there 

    On 
    the 
    floor 

    Like 
    a 
    bed 
    that 
    would 
    collapse 
    like 
    a trap 

    If 
    it 
    was 
    spoken 

    You 
    gotta 
    keep 
    it 
    even, 
    even 
    when 

    You're 
    uptight 

    Verse 2

    Even 
    when 
    you're 
    happy 

    Even 
    when 
    you're 
    reaching 
    for some 

    Line 
    I've 
    had 
    in mind 

    It's been 
    repressed 
    over 
    time 

    So 
    I'm 
    breathing 

    Se
    duced 
    by 
    an 
    excuse 
    that 
    could 

    Not 
    be 
    made 
    but 
    I'm 
    speaking 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 3
    There's 
    a phone 
    with 
    a number 
    that 

    I try 
    not 
    to 
    call 
    but 
    it's 
    ringing 

    For someone 
    I've tried 
    to 
    keep 
    to 

    Myself 
    but 
    I'm singing 

    It's 
    logic 
    that's 
    twisted 
    and 
    paraphrased 

    And justified 
    by 
    a dis

    tance 
    that separates 

    A bond, 
    bound 
    of 
    per
    sistence 

    Verse 4

    You gotta 
    keep 
    it 
    even, 
    even 
    when 

    You're 
    uptight 

    Even 
    when 
    you're 
    happy 

    Even 
    when 
    you're 
    reaching 
    for 

    That 
    drawer 
    in 
    my 
    house 
    that 
    I try 

    To 
    keep 
    closed 
    but 
    it's 
    open

      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.
