    I couldn't 
    Verse 1
    think 
    of 
    a thing 
    to 
    write 

    On 
    your 
    birthday 
    card 

    Considered 
    the 
    po
    ets, 

    they 
    didn't 
    know 

    What 
    lay 
    quite 
    inside 
    my 
    heart 

    I thought 
    of 
    At
    lanta, 

    I 
    thought 
    of 
    Toron
    to 

    And 
    all 
    of 
    the 
    places 
    we've 
    been 

    I filled 
    up 
    my 
    tea 
    and 
    looked 

    into 
    the 
    trees 

    And still 
    came 
    up 
    empty 
    again 

    So 
    I 
    guess 
    the 
    next 
    time 
    you 
    see 
    me 

    In 
    a 
    world 
    of 
    partial 
    truths, 

    you 
    will 
    fully 
    believe 
    me 

    I 
    have 
    nothing 
    to 
    give 
    except 
    for 
    to 
    live 

    Like 
    the per
    son 
    you 
    know 
    me 

    to 
    be 

    I 
    can 
    clean 
    up 
    the 
    kit
    chen 
    and 

    fold 
    up 
    your 
    clothes 

    Neatly 
    as 
    I 
    am 
    able 

    Wrap 
    a 
    box 
    up 
    with 
    ties 
    for 
    a 
    sur
    prise 

    Order 
    you 
    flower
    s for 
    the 
    table 

    Or I 
    could 
    book 
    us 
    a trip 

    on 
    a 
    plane 
    or 
    ship 

    I know 
    how 
    much 
    you 
    love 
    the sun

    You 
    could 
    gamble 
    on 
    me 
    like 
    the 
    lot
    tery 

    I'll 
    make 
    you 
    feel 
    like 
    you've 
    won 

    And 
    I'll 
    bet 
    the 
    next 
    time 
    you see 
    me 

    In 
    a 
    world 
    of 
    partial 
    truths, 

    you 
    will 
    fully 
    believe 
    me 

    I 
    have 
    nothing 
    to 
    give 
    except 
    for 
    to 
    live 

    Like 
    the person 
    you 
    know 
    me 
    to 
    be 

    Life 
    is 
    short 
    and 
    so 
    on 

    I'd 
    like 
    to 
    give 
    you 

    something 
    to 
    go on 

    Grow 
    on 

    They 
    recently 
    paved 
    the 
    walk 
    on 
    our 
    street 

    We 
    looked 
    at 
    the shiny 
    ce
    ment 

    We stopped 
    the 
    car 
    ready 
    to carve 

    Our 
    names 
    into 
    per
    manence 

    For 
    a moment 
    we're 
    kid

    s 
    intent 
    on 
    a whim 

    There 
    is 
    no 
    shadowy 
    past 

    But 
    even 
    so 
    it 
    urges 
    to 
    go 

    And 
    put 
    something 
    down 
    that 
    will 
    last 

    So 
    here 
    goes, 

    the next 
    time 
    I 
    show 
    up 
    for 
    you 

    You 
    will 
    know 
    and 
    be
    lieve 

    I 
    am 
    ready 
    to 
    give, 
    ready 
    to 
    live 

    Like 
    the person 
    you 
    know 
    me 
    to 
    be

      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.
