    • Verse 1
    Even 
    something 

    as small 
    as 
    an apple 

    It's 
    simple 
    and somehow 
    com
    plex 

    Sweet 
    and 
    divine, 
    the 
    perfect 
    design 

    Can 
    I speak 
    to the 
    archi
    tect? 

    Verse 2
    There's 
    a canyon 
    that 
    cuts 

    through 
    the 
    desert 

    Did it 
    get 
    there 
    because 
    of 
    a 
    flood? 

    Was 
    it 
    devised? 
    Or 
    were 
    you 
    surprised 

    When 
    you 
    saw 
    how 
    grant 
    it 
    was? 

    Verse 3
    Was it 
    thought 
    out 
    at 
    all 
    or just 

    paint 
    on 
    a wall? 

    Is there 
    anything 
    that 
    you 
    re
    gret? 

    I 
    don't 
    understand, 

    are 
    there 
    blueprints 
    or plans? 

    Can 
    I speak 
    to 
    the 
    archi
    tect? 

    Verse 4

    Sometimes 
    I 
    look 
    in 
    the 
    mirror 

    And 
    wish 
    I 
    could 
    make 
    a 
    re
    quest 

    Could 
    I 
    pray 
    it 
    away? 
    Am 

    I 
    shapeable clay? 

    Or is 
    this 
    as 
    good 
    as 
    it 
    gets? 

    Verse 5
    One 
    day, 
    you're 
    on 
    top 
    of 
    the 
    mountain 

    So 
    high 
    that 
    you'll 
    never 
    come 
    down 

    Then 
    the 
    wind 
    at 
    your back 

    carries 
    ember 
    and 
    ash 

    That it 
    burns 
    your 
    whole 
    house 
    to 
    the 
    ground 

    Verse 6
    Is 
    it 
    thought 
    out 
    at 
    all 
    or just 
    paint 
    on 
    a wall? 

    Is 
    there 
    anything 
    that 
    you 
    re
    gret? 

    I 
    don't 
    understand, 

    are 
    there 
    blueprints 
    or plans? 

    Can 
    I speak 
    to 
    the 
    archi
    tect? 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 7
    I thought 
    that 
    I 
    was 
    too 
    broken 

    And 
    maybe 
    too 
    hard 
    to 
    love 

    I 
    was 
    in 
    a 
    weird 
    place, 

    then 
    I saw 
    the 
    right 
    face 

    And the stars 
    and the 
    planets 
    lined 
    up 

    Verse 8
    Does it 
    happen 
    by 
    chance? 

    Is 
    it all 
    happenstance? 

    Do 
    we 
    have 
    any 
    say 
    in 
    this 
    mess? 

    Is 
    too 
    late 
    to 
    make 
    some 
    more 
    space? 

    Can 
    I speak 
    to 
    the 
    architect? 

    This 
    life 
    that 
    we 
    make, 

    is it 
    random 
    or fate? 

    Can 
    I speak 
    to 
    the 
    archi
    tect? 

    Is 
    there 
    an 
    archi
    tect?

      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.
