  • Verse 1
    When 
    I rearrange 
    the pieces 

    of the 
    puzzle 
    of my past 

    I sigh 
    at the 
    heartaches, 
    relive 
    the 
    laughs 

    And I 
    think about 
    the 
    moments 

    that have 
    left their 
    mark 

    And the too 
    few 
    faces 
    that shine 

    a little 
    light 
    in 
    the dark 

    Verse 2
    If 
    you don't 
    mind 
    I'm gonna 

    tell 
    you a 
    story 

    And 
    think 
    that 
    it won't 
    bore 
    you 

    For 
    it's 
    a tale 
    that 
    I've 
    never 
    told 

    To 
    anyone 
    be
    fore 
    you- 
    - 'cause 
    it's 
    for 
    you 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3

    The sun 
    of 
    sixteen 
    sum
    mers 

    had put 
    halos 
    in your hair 

    If anything 
    was 
    in my 
    head, 

    twelve 
    winters 
    put it 
    there 

    dol
    lar 
    an 
    hour 
    is 
    what Mama 
    paid 

    you 
    to 
    come 
    and mind 
    her kid

    But 
    no one 
    could 
    really 
    pay 
    you 

    enough 
    for what 
    you 
    really 
    did 

    Verse 4
    Many 
    happy 
    things 
    keep 
    happening 

    On 
    my 
    journey 
    through this 
    world 

    And in many 
    ways, 

    that I 
    will 
    never 
    under
    stand 

    I was 
    much 
    too late 

    To 
    be the 
    first 
    to make 
    you 
    a wo
    man 

    But 
    you were 
    the 
    one 

    Who 
    made my 
    mother's 

    son 
    man 

    Verse 5

    You know I 
    used 
    to read 
    myself 

    to sleep 
    when 
    I went 
    to bed 

    guess 
    was 
    a dreamer 
    then 
    who 

    lived 
    inside 
    my 
    head 

    But the 
    nights 
    that you came 
    you talked 
    of things, 

    I found 
    had 
    a friend 

    You 
    brought 
    my fears 
    of 
    people 

    to 
    sure 
    and 
    gentle 
    end 

    Verse 6
    Many 
    happy 
    things 
    keep 
    happening 

    On 
    my 
    journey 
    through this 
    world 

    And in 
    many 
    ways, 

    that I will 
    never 
    under
    stand 

    I was 
    much 
    too late 

    To 
    be the 
    first 
    to make 
    you a 
    wo
    man 

    But you were 
    the 
    one 

    Who 
    made my 
    mother's 
    son 
    man 

    Verse 7

    Do 
    you re
    member 
    the night 

    when you 
    turned 
    out the 
    light 

    And 
    said 
    to me: 
    "Please 
    hold 
    me" 

    did 
    not 
    know 
    which 
    way 
    to go 

    So 
    did 
    just 
    what 
    you told 

    Verse 8
    me 
    "Please 
    hold 
    me" 

    When 
    I think 
    about 
    you 
    now 
    it's 

    not 
    that my 
    memory 
    fails 

    There's 
    just 
    no 
    need 
    for graphic 

    telling 
    of 
    all 
    the 
    de
    tails 

    Let's 
    just say 
    you taught 
    me 
    something 

    that 
    brought 
    me from 
    my 
    shell 

    You 
    gave 
    to me 
    that 
    first sweet 
    taste 

    of 
    the 
    heaven 
    here 
    in 
    this 
    hell 

    Verse 9
    Many 
    happy 
    things 
    keep 
    happening 

    On 
    my 
    journey 
    through 
    this world 

    And 
    in 
    many ways, 

    that 
    I will 
    never 
    un
    der
    stand 

    I was 
    much 
    too late 

    To 
    be the 
    first 
    to make 
    you 
    wo
    man 

    But 
    you 
    were 
    the one 

    Who made 
    my 
    mother's 
    son 
    man

    • 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.
