  • Verse 1
    was 
    at 
    the 
    break 
    wall, 

    was 
    lookin' 
    at 
    the sea 

    In 
    back 
    of 
    the 
    eight 
    ball 
    in 
    some 
    misery 

    There 
    on 
    the 
    horizon 
    stood 

    mighty 
    ship 
    of 
    fools 

    They 
    were 
    headin' 
    into 
    the 
    harbor 

    with 
    all 
    their 
    broken 
    rules 

    Verse 2
    Whenever 
    I'm 
    feelin' 
    lonely 

    can 
    just 
    pick 
    up 
    the phone 

    Or I 
    can go 
    to 
    the movies 
    or 
    just 
    stay 

    at home 
    alone 

    They're better 
    off 
    to be 
    someplace 
    that's 

    good 
    long 
    way 
    from 
    home 

    Any 
    way 
    can 
    lose 
    myself 

    Verse 3
    Dawn 
    is 
    breakin', 
    I'm 
    hesitatin' 

    I'm 
    fading 
    away, 

    fading 
    away 

    Verse 4

    They sailed 
    right 
    up 
    to 
    me, 
    said, 

    "What's 
    it 
    all 
    about 

    Please 
    try 
    to 
    excuse 
    me, 

    we 
    can 
    work 
    things 
    out 

    If 
    you've 
    ever 
    wondered 
    if 

    that 
    mighty 
    ship 
    is 
    real 

    Let 
    me 
    tell 
    ya 'bout 
    it, 
    brother, 

    it 
    was 
    somethin' 
    you 
    could 
    feel" 

    Verse 5
    Whenever 
    I'm feelin' 
    lonely, 

    let 
    twi
    light 
    set 
    the tone 

    Or I can 
    go 
    to 
    the movies 
    or 

    just 
    stay 
    at home 
    alone 

    They're better 
    off 
    to be 
    someplace, 

    that's 
    good 
    long 
    way 
    to 
    roam 

    Ain't livin' 
    high 
    on 
    the 

    hog 
    right 
    now 

    Verse 6
    Dawn is 
    breakin', 
    I'm 
    hesitatin' 

    I'm 
    fading 
    away, 

    fading 
    away 


    Verse 7
    One 
    more 
    day 
    on 
    the calendar 
    in 
    my 
    mind 

    am 
    down 
    at 
    the 
    break 
    wall 

    puttin' 
    in 
    some 
    time 

    The whole 
    ship 
    of 
    fools 
    has 

    gotten 
    safely 
    under 
    way 

    And I 
    was 
    proud 
    to be 
    a part 
    of 
    what 

    it was 
    they 
    had 
    to 
    say 

    Verse 8
    Whenever 
    I'm feelin' 
    lonely 

    I can 
    just 
    pick 
    up 
    the phone 

    Or 
    I can 
    go 
    to 
    the movies 
    or 

    just 
    stay 
    at home 
    alone 

    They're better 
    off to be 
    someplace 

    that's 
    good 
    long 
    piece 
    from 
    home 

    Any 
    way 
    can 
    lose 
    myself 

    Verse 9
    Dawn 
    is 
    breakin', 
    I'm 
    hesitatin' 

    I'm 
    fading 
    away, 

    fading 
    away 

    Fading 
    away, 
    fading 
    away

    • 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.
