    when 
    the 
    stars 
    seek 
    you 
    out

    so 
    far 
    from 
    heaven 

    well I'll

    set 
    in stone 

    they're only 
    borrowed 
    or 
    freely 
    given 

    but 
    they're 
    both 
    so 
    heavy 

    they'll 
    break 
    your 
    heart 

    till 
    you 
    don't 
    know 
    if 
    you 
    can 
    go 
    on

    ing 

    Verse 5
    I 
    can't 
    be 
    the 
    thing 
    that 

    makes 
    you happy 

    maybe 
    once 
    I was 
    but not 
    anymore 

    I can 
    only 
    be 
    who 
    I 
    am 

    waiting 
    here 
    for 
    you 
    when 
    you 

    come 
    through 
    the door 

    I 
    know 
    well 
    the 
    tides 
    of 
    your 
    affection 

    the 
    way 
    they wax 
    and 
    the way 
    they 
    wain 

    but 
    I'll 
    take 
    you 
    home 

    when the 
    party's 
    over 

    I 
    will 
    al
    ways 
    take 
    you 
    back 

    home

      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.
