    • Verse 1
    I see 
    no 
    reason 
    why 

    Only 
    that 
    I 
    guess 
    that 
    I 

    Don't 
    really 
    know 
    what 
    I'm 

    do
    ing 

    A letter 
    that 
    never 
    arrived 

    Only 
    that 
    I 
    could 
    survive 

    That 
    I 
    might 
    see 
    whatever 

    is 
    going 
    on 

    Verse 2

    You took 
    my 
    heart 
    away 

    Like 
    an 
    act 
    in 
    a 
    play 

    But 
    I was 
    just 
    another 
    standby 

    In 
    your 
    soap 
    op
    era 

    And 
    now 
    I fear 
    that 
    I 

    Can't 
    change 
    to com
    promise 

    You 
    had 
    me 
    all 
    along 

    And 
    you 
    were 
    foolin' 

    Verse 3

    This 
    love 
    could 
    nev
    er 
    doubt 

    I 
    just 
    wanna 
    sit 
    and 
    pout 

    I'm 
    feeling 
    as 
    if 
    you're 

    leaving 
    me 
    out 

    Just 
    what 
    am 
    I 
    talking 
    about 

    Turning 
    away 
    from 
    the 
    cow 

    As 
    if 
    your 
    golden 
    () led me 

    to 
    a shallow 
    grave 

    Verse 4
    You 
    took 
    my 
    heart 
    away 

    Like 
    an 
    act 
    in 
    a 
    play 

    But 
    I was 
    just 
    another 
    standby 

    In 
    your 
    soap 
    opera 

    And 
    now 
    I 
    feel 
    that I 

    Can't 
    change 
    to com
    promise 

    You 
    had 
    me 
    all 
    along 

    And 
    you 
    were 
    foolin' 

    Verse 5

    And 
    now 
    I 
    dare 
    to 
    say 

    It 
    wouldn't 
    happen 
    anyway 

    Just 
    a love 
    to 
    carry 
    me 

    through 
    back 
    to 
    you 

    They 
    say 
    that 
    love 
    is 
    blind 

    But 
    I can 
    see 
    you 
    all 
    the 
    time 

    Whether 
    or not 
    you 
    think 

    of 
    me 
    in 
    your mind 

    Verse 6

    You 
    took 
    my 
    heart 
    away 

    Like 
    an 
    act 
    in 
    a 
    play 

    I 
    was 
    just 
    an
    other 
    standby 

    In 
    your 
    soap 
    op
    era 

    And 
    now 
    I 
    fear 
    that I 

    Can't 
    change 
    to 
    com
    promise 

    You 
    had 
    me 
    all 
    along 

    And 
    you 
    were 
    foolin' 

    Verse 7

    And 
    when 
    I 
    lay 
    me 
    down 

    To 
    go 
    to 
    sleep 

    I 
    can't 
    find 
    you 
    any
    where 

    in my 
    dream 

    And 
    now 
    I 
    venture 
    out 

    Just 
    another 
    night 
    on 
    the town 

    It 
    brings 
    me 
    down 
    to 
    feel 
    so 
    happy 

    Verse 8
    You 
    took 
    my 
    heart 
    away 

    Like 
    an 
    act 
    in 
    a 
    play 

    I was 
    just 
    another 
    stand
    by 

    In 
    your 
    soap 
    opera 

    And now 
    I 
    fear 
    that 
    I 

    Can't change 
    to 
    com
    prom
    ise 

    You 
    had 
    me 
    all 
    along 

    And 
    you 
    were 
    foolin' 

    Foolin', 
    foolin, 
    foolin', 
    foolin' 

    Foolin', 
    foolin', 

    foolin'

      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.
