key from the lock

Tipped the phone off the hook

Stand up straight
C
Em

Took a good long look

In a room bought by the high world

Two would -be lovers stand

Washed up from the shower
C

Dried up on demand
Em
Bm

When she asked what he was thinking
Am

He struggled to say
Em
Bm
Am

Love like this don't come every day
Em
D

Now that it's here
C

I don't know what to do
G
A

Throw in my hand
C
D
Em

I'll see the whole thing through

Some old familiar feeling
D
Em

makes him rise to the bay

Though he knows this kind of a promise
D
Em

is never worth the wait

Still he's looking for a woman

with a tear in her eye
C

Lipstick in her pocket, an evil lie
Em
Bm

With the bargain and over
Am

She took his love in the palm of her hand

He's been treated like a fool

When the movement was over

And they laid there face to face

He was thinking about another love
C

Em

In another strange place

She said, you could take my life,

it doesn't mean a single thing to me
C

When my heart starts beating all the time,

Then they laid down the back

of an American car

Staring at the moon and

counting all the stars

When the pain got so big

  • 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

    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.
