    Verse 1
    D

    Did you
    Bm

    spend most of your life waitin'
    D
    G

    On a fairytale read between pages?
    D

    Did you huddle up close
    Bm

    to your boombox radio
    D
    G

    Is somebody waiting on the same song?
    Verse 2
    Bm
    G

    And we sold our souls on the fantasies we found in

    records and black and white movies
    Bm
    G

    And I used to beg June to burn me alive,
    D

    if that would get me anywhere but here

    'Cause she drips through

    A

    And for most of my sad life I figured I
    Bm
    A
    G

    was gonna die alone
    D

    'Cause I just burned in the
    A

    curve of my scars
    Bm

    Twenty long years away

    from your heart

    G

    D
    Bm

    And it was impossible to hold on to anything
    D

    In my chest was a lonesome,
    G

    growing cyclone
    D
    Bm

    I kept pictures tucked up into the rear view
    D
    G

    above to the sirens all lost in the ocean
    Bm

    And all we wanted was
    G

    absolutely everything
    D
    A

    Like foolish, hungry young lions
    Bm

    I was lost and alone,
    G

    a million light years from home
    D

    It was nobody's fault but mine
    A
    Verse 5

    D
    A

    But finally, finally, my love is in my arms
    A
    Verse 6
    G

    And was there a
    Bm
    G

    hole in your life?
    D

    Did you kill to keep warm but somehow
    A

    never quite satisfied?
    Bm

    Do you feel like it's always
    G

    time to go?
    D

    And it's always wrong, and it's always off,
    A

    and it's hard to know, which heart to hold
    Bm

    Now do you lie to someone,
    G
    D
    A

    is someone else, on your mind?
    G
    Bm

    Do you lie to someone
    G
    D
    A

    with me on your mind?
    Verse 7
    D
    A

    Now Etta James, hit that symphony

    • 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.
