    Verse 1
    As 
    I 
    slowly 
    turn 
    the pages 

    and 
    see 
    all 
    these smiling 
    faces 

    It's 
    hard 
    to 
    be
    lieve 
    it 
    was 
    today, 

    ten 
    years 
    ago 

    Here 
    is 
    the 
    invitation 
    to 
    our 

    wedding 
    celebration 

    Just 
    look 
    at 
    the 
    promise 

    these 
    pictures 
    show 

    Now 
    I 
    know 

    If 
    I 
    had 
    Verse 2
    loved 
    her 
    by 
    the 
    book 

    She 
    would 
    be 
    right 
    here 
    by 
    my 
    side 

    But 
    fool 
    that 
    I am, 
    I 
    overlooked 

    My 
    promise 
    to 
    love 
    her 
    forever 

    For 
    worse 
    or for 
    better 

    We'd 
    still 
    be 
    to
    gether 

    If 
    Id've loved 
    her 
    by 

    Interlude 1
    the 
    book 


    Verse 3
    If I 
    opened 
    this 
    book 
    more 
    often, 

    then 
    I 
    wouldn't 
    have 
    forgotten 

    How 
    much 
    she 
    cared 
    and 
    how 
    much 

    I meant 
    my solemn 
    vows 

    To 
    honor 
    to 
    have 
    and 
    hold 
    her, 

    but 
    as 
    I 
    read 
    them 
    over 

    I 
    know 
    it's 
    too 
    late 
    to 

    say 
    I'm 
    sorry 
    now 

    If 
    I 
    had 
    Verse 4
    loved 
    her 
    by 
    the 
    book 

    She 
    would 
    be 
    right 
    here 
    by 
    my 
    side 

    But 
    fool 
    that I 
    am, 
    I 
    overlooked 

    My 
    promise 
    to 
    love 
    her 
    forever 

    For 
    worse 
    or for 
    better 

    We'd still 
    be 
    to
    gether 

    If 
    Id've loved 
    her 

    by 
    the 
    book 

    If 
    Verse 5
    I 
    had 
    loved 

    her 
    by 
    the 
    book

      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.
