I'm

F

G

in a room full of people,
Bm

hanging on one person's breath.
F

We would all vote him most
Am
Asus4

likely to be loved to death.
G

I hope he still wants it, but it might
Bm

remind him of when,
F

he aimed for the bulls eye and
G

hit it nine times out of ten.

That one time his hand slipped,
Bm

and I saw the dart sail away.
F

I don't know where it landed,
Am
Asus4
D
Asus4
G

but I'm guessing between green and gray.

We thought nothing of it,
Bm

but it still haunts him like a ghost.
G
F

With all eyes upon him,
G

except two that matter the most.

Gray is the color I see around her,
D
G

and she's just a blur."
C

The more the crowd cheers,
Am

the less I can hear
G
Em

and they don't really care what I
Bm
B
C

play. It might be for her.
Am
G
C

But for now it's between green and gray.

Verse 3
G

We paid and we cheered. Now we're
Bm

gone and to us that feels right.
F

But for him every one of those evenings
Am

turns into a night.
G

With another hotel room where
Bm

he lays awake to pretend
F

that he's doing fine with his
G

notebook and discman for friends.

Night after night what I hear,
Am
G

what I write fills the room
B

and my head starts to sway.
C

It might be for her,
Am
G

but for now it's between green
C

an d gray.
G
Bm
F
Verse 5
Am

G

I want you to love me, he whispers,
Bm

unable to speak.
F

And he wonders aloud why feelings so strong
Am
A

make the body so weak.
G

Then he awoke. Now he's scared
Bm

to death somebody heard.
F

If it was you, and you know her,

please don't say a word.

  • 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.
