Verse 1
Am

Oh I was seventeen,

When I heard the countdown start,

it started slowly,

And I thought it was my heart

but then I realised,
Dm

That this time it was for real

there was no place to hide,

I had to go out and feel,
Am

But there was time to kill,

And so I, I walked my way around town,

I tried to love the world,
A
Am

Oh but the world just got me down,
Dm

And so I looked for you,

In every street of every town

I wanted to see your face,
Am

I want to, I want to see you now.

I want to see you now.

Oh and so it went,

Oh so it went for several

years I couldn't stand it

No, oh it must be getting near now that
Dm

You just don't know,

Oh no you, you just don't understand

how many people have seen you,

In the arms of, of of some other man,
Am

I've got to meet you, and find you,

And take you by the hand, oh my God

My God, you've got to understand,
Dm

That I was seventeen.

I didn't, I didn't know a thing at all.

I've got no reason,
G
Am

I've got no reason at all, Oh no.

The time, of my life,

Oh I think you came too soon,

Get down, oh.

Oh and the sky,

Is crying out tonight,
Dm

For me to leave this town,

So I'm gonna leave this town.

Goodbye.

O.K.

Yeah you can leave me,

Oh you, you can go some other place,

You can't forget it.

Yeah, you know,

you know that's O.K.
G
Dm

'cause, 'cause I own this town,

Yeah, I brought it to its knees,

Can you hear it crying?

Can you?

Can you hear it begging to me "Please?"
Am

I know it's coming,

So soon now

Oh, oh it's on it's way.

Oh no, oh no, oh I can hear them say,
Dm

They say I can't survive,

They say I, I'll never leave the ground,

They say it's all a lie,

And now, and now it's coming down,
G
Am

Oh baby now,
G
Dm

Time, of my life,
G
Am

oh I think you came too soon.

Yeah you came too soon now,
G

Oh and it could, oh it could be tonight,

Oh oh oh

Dm

I wasted all my time on all those stupid
Am

You don't have to care.

Really.

Oh, oh really, I swear,

No, no you owe me nothing,

You owe nothing to me,

And if I messed it up baby,
C

Then, that's all up to me.
Am

And if you go, then, then I won't follow,

no, no

'cause so many times I've been,


I've been thinking maybe,

oh maybe I should

No, I, I'm gonna stay

I, I'm gonna make my way

Oh, I'm gonna get on through babe

I'm gonna make it all some day

  • 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.
