    • Verse 1
    About 
    the 
    time, 

    about 
    the 
    time 

    you've 
    decided 
    you 

    know all 
    that there 
    is. 

    Along 
    comes 
    some 
    teacher 

    with 
    a new 
    kind 
    of 
    quiz, 

    a 
    new kind 
    of wanting 

    an
    d you've 
    nothing 
    to 

    give 
    but 
    your time. 

    About 
    the time, 

    about 
    the 
    time 

    you've 
    de
    cided, 
    surprises 
    a few. 

    You 
    awaken 
    to 
    find 

    that 
    the 
    new day 
    is new. 

    You 
    reach 
    out 
    to touch 
    it, 

    and it runs 
    off 
    in the 
    night, 

    chasing 
    after 
    some new 
    face 

    with 
    a 
    far fresher 
    mind 

    and 
    more 
    of time's 
    time. 

    About 
    the 
    time, 
    about 
    the 
    time 

    About 
    the time, 

    about 
    the 
    time that 
    you find 
    love 

    Pay 
    love some 
    mind at 
    all 

    You 
    learn that 
    each spring 

    has a 
    summer and 
    fall 

    And 
    love, 
    like 
    time's 
    pendulum, 

    swings 
    to 
    an
    d fro 

    And you 
    go home 
    alone 

    How 
    about 
    the 
    time, 

    how 
    about the time 

    that you 
    bend 
    love, 

    bring 
    love 
    to its 
    knees? 

    The 
    poor 
    wounded 
    heart looks 

    up 
    one day 

    and sees 
    love 
    running 
    like lightning 
    through 

    your lifetime 
    on 
    its 
    way out, 

    and you find 
    yourself 
    wondering 

    what 
    the shouting's 
    about. 

    It's 
    about 
    time, 
    about 
    the 
    time, 

    about 
    the 
    time, 
    about 
    the 
    time 

    that 
    you learn 
    life, 

    you've burned 
    life at 
    both 
    ends, 

    and 
    the old 
    need for 
    living, 

    like 
    the need 
    for love 
    ends, 

    and you 
    find yourself 
    staring 
    at the same 
    wall 
    again, 

    marking 
    time. 

    If 
    there 
    were time, 
    if 
    there were time 

    I 
    would tell 
    you 

    Why 
    time 
    is a thief, 

    stealing moments, 
    then minutes, 

    then 
    hours 
    and weeks 

    Leaving 
    nothing at 
    all 

    for 
    the heart 
    and the mind 

    But 
    the slow 
    endless 
    pounding 

    of 
    years 
    into time 

    Lifetime, 
    by 
    that 
    time 

    You've 
    run out 
    of 
    time.

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
