    Verse 1

    is 
    an 
    angel 
    weep
    ing 

    Hold
    ing 
    out 
    bloody 
    sword 

    No 
    matter 
    how 
    squint 
    cannot 

    Make 
    out 
    what 
    it's 
    pointing 

    to
    ward 

    Sometimes 
    you 
    feel 
    like 

    you've 
    lived 
    too 
    long 

    Days 
    drip 
    slowly 
    on 
    the 

    page 

    You catch 
    yourself 

    Pacing 
    the cage 

    Interlude 1

    I've 
    proven 
    who I 
    am 
    so 
    many 
    times 
    Verse 2

    The 
    magnet
    ic 
    strip's worn 
    thin 

    And 
    each time 
    was 
    someone 
    else 

    And 
    every 
    one 
    was taken 
    in

    Hours 
    chatter 
    in high 
    places 

    Stir 
    up eddies 
    in the 
    dust 
    of 
    rage 

    Set 
    me to 
    pacing 
    the cage 

    Verse 3

    never 
    knew 
    what 
    you all 
    wanted 

    So 
    I gave 
    you 
    everything 

    All 
    that I 
    could 
    pillage 

    All 
    the spell
    s that 
    I could 
    sing 

    It's 
    as if 
    the thing 
    were 
    written 

    In the 
    constitution 
    of 
    the 
    age 

    Sooner 
    or 
    later 
    you'll 
    wind 
    up 

    Pacing 
    the cage 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 4
    Sometimes 
    the 
    best 
    map 

    will not 
    guide 
    you 

    You can't 
    see what's 
    'round 
    the bend 

    Sometimes 
    the road 
    leads 

    through dark 
    places 

    Sometimes 
    the 
    darkness 
    is your 
    friend 

    Today 
    these 
    eyes 
    scan 
    bleached-out 
    land 

    land 

    For the 
    coming 
    of the 

    outbound 
    stage

      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

      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.
