    Verse 1
    Some 
    people 
    stay 
    far 
    away 
    from 
    the 
    door 

    If 
    there's 
    chance 
    of 
    it 
    opening 
    up 

    They 
    hear 
    voice 
    in 
    the 
    hall 
    outside 

    And 
    hope 
    that 
    it 
    just 
    passes 
    by 

    Some 
    people 
    live 
    with 
    the 
    fear 
    of 
    touch 

    And 
    the 
    anger 
    of 
    having 
    been 
    fool 

    They 
    will 
    not 
    listen 
    to 
    anyone 

    So 
    nobody 
    tells 
    them 
    lie 

    Pre-chorus 1
    know 
    you're 
    only 
    pro
    tecting 
    yourself 

    know 
    you're 
    thinking 
    of 
    somebody 
    else 

    Someone 
    who 
    hurt 
    you 

    Verse 2
    But 
    I'm 
    not 
    above 

    Making 
    up 
    for 
    the 
    love 

    You've 
    been 
    de
    nying 
    you 
    could 
    ever 
    feel 

    I'm 
    not 
    above 
    doing 
    anything 

    To 
    restore 
    your 
    faith 
    if 
    can 

    Some 
    people 
    see 
    through 
    the 
    eyes 
    of 
    the 
    old 

    Before 
    they 
    ever 
    get 
    look 
    at 
    the 
    young 

    I'm 
    only 
    willing 
    to 
    hear 
    you 
    cry 

    Chorus 1
    Because 
    am 
    an 
    innocent 

    (man) 


    am 
    an 
    in
    nocent 
    man 

    Oh 
    yes 
    am 


    Verse 3
    Some 
    people 
    say 
    they 
    will 
    never 
    believe 

    Another 
    promise 
    they 
    hear 
    in 
    the 
    dark 

    Because 
    they 
    only 
    re
    member 
    too 
    well 

    They 
    heard 
    somebody 
    tell 
    them 
    be
    fore 

    Some 
    people 
    sleep 
    all 
    alone 
    every 
    night 

    Instead 
    of 
    taking 
    lover 
    to 
    bed 

    Some 
    people 
    find 
    that 
    it's 
    easier 
    to 
    hate 

    Than 
    to 
    wait 
    any
    more 

    Pre-chorus 2
    know 
    you 
    don't 
    want 
    to 
    hear 
    what 
    say 

    know 
    you're 
    gonna 
    keep 
    turning 
    away 

    Verse 4
    But 
    I've 
    been 
    there 
    and 
    if 
    can 
    survive 

    can 
    keep 
    you 
    alive 

    I'm 
    not 
    a
    bove 
    going 
    through 
    it 
    again 

    I'm 
    not 
    above 
    being 
    cool 
    for 
    while 

    If 
    you're 
    cruel 
    to 
    me 
    I'll 
    under
    stand 

    Some 
    people 
    run 
    from 
    possible 
    fight 

    Some 
    people 
    figure 
    they 
    can 
    never 
    win 

    And 
    although 
    this 
    is 
    fight 
    can 
    lose 

    Chorus 2
    The 
    accused 
    is 
    an 
    innocent 

    (man) 


    am 
    an 
    in
    nocent 
    man 

    Oh 
    yes 
    am 

    An 
    in
    nocent 
    man 


    Pre-chorus 3
    You 
    know 
    you 
    only 
    hurt 
    your
    self 
    out 
    of 
    spite 

    guess 
    you'd 
    rather 
    be 
    martyr 
    tonight 

    Verse 5
    That's 
    your 
    decision 
    but 
    I'm 
    not 
    below 

    Anybody 
    know 

    If 
    there's 
    chance 
    of 
    resurrecting 
    love 

    I'm 
    not 
    above 
    going 
    back 
    to 
    the 
    start 

    To 
    find 
    out 
    where 
    the 
    heartache 
    be
    gan 

    Some 
    people 
    hope 
    for 
    miracle 
    cure 

    Some 
    people 
    just 
    accept 
    the 
    world 
    as 
    it 
    is 

    But 
    I'm 
    not 
    willing 
    to 
    lay 
    down 
    and 
    die 

    Chorus 3
    Because 
    am 
    an 
    innocent 

    (man) 


    am 
    an 
    in
    nocent 
    man 

    Oh 
    yes 
    am 

    An 
    in
    nocent 
    man 

    Oh-
    ho-
    ho-
    ho

    • 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.
