Fm
C
D
you've de cided, surprises a few.
You awaken to find
C
that the new day is new.
You reach out to touch it,
B
and it runs off in the night,
Am
chasing after some new face
C
with a far fresher mind
G
and more of time's time.
B
About the time, about the time
Em
Fm
Em
About the time,
C
about the time that you find love
D
Pay love some mind at all
C
You learn that each spring
has a summer and fall
And love, like time's pendulum,
B
swings to and fro
Em
Fm
And you go home alone
C
How about the time,
Em
how about the time
D
that you bend love,
bring love to its knees?
C
The poor wounded heart looks
up one day
and sees love running like lightning through
Am
your lifetime on its way out,
Bbm
G
and you find yourself wondering
what the shouting's about.
C
B
Em
It's about time, about the time,

that you learn life,
D

you've burned life at both ends,
C
and the old need for living,
like the need for love ends,
B
Em
and you find yourself staring at the same wall again,
marking time.
Fm
If there were time, if there were time
Em
I would tell you
D
Why time is a thief,
C
stealing moments, then minutes,
then hours and weeks
Leaving nothing at all
for the heart and the mind
Bbm
But the slow endless pounding
Am
C
G
of years into time
B
Lifetime, by that time
C

You've run out of time.

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“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
Tuliketsune
“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 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“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!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“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.”
Great to tune and play
Lynae T
“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
