  • Verse 1
    Perhaps 
    I'll never 
    show 
    this 

    world 
    all 
    I could 
    be 

    I just 
    can't 
    sing 
    to 
    any 
    man 

    the 
    song 
    he 
    wants 
    to hear 

    And 
    know 
    that 
    some 
    won't 
    like 
    me 

    Others 
    try 
    to 
    be my 
    friend 

    But 
    I'm 
    all 
    of me, 
    and 
    that's 
    all 
    that 
    am 

    Verse 2
    And 
    if 
    life 
    is 
    for 
    the 
    living 

    Then 
    why 
    can't 
    men 
    be real 

    'Stead 
    of 
    hidin' 
    in their 
    costumes 

    For
    gettin' 
    how 
    to feel, 

    for
    gettin' 
    how 
    to feel 

    Verse 3
    We still 
    live 
    in 
    a time 
    when 
    manners 

    cover 
    what 
    is 
    real 

    There's 
    ba
    sic 
    fact 
    of life 
    that 

    the times 
    can
    not 
    con
    ceal 

    That 
    if some 
    are masquer
    aders 

    Others 
    live 
    in their 
    facade 

    But 
    I'm 
    what 
    I am 

    cannot 
    be 
    what 
    I am 
    not 

    Verse 4
    And 
    if 
    life 
    is 
    for 
    the living 

    Then 
    why 
    can't 
    men 
    be real 

    'Stead 
    of 
    hidin' 
    in their 
    costumes 

    For
    gettin' 
    how 
    to feel, 

    for
    gettin' 
    how 
    to feel 

    Verse 5

    may 
    be 
    too 
    honest 
    and 

    offend 
    those 
    who 
    pre
    tend 

    don't 
    claim 
    I'm 
    always 
    right, 

    that 
    I'm 
    ev'ry
    body's 
    friend 

    Per
    haps 
    for 
    them 
    it's 
    easier 

    to 
    be 
    what 
    they 
    are 
    not 

    But 
    I'm 
    what 
    I am, 

    and 
    just 
    can't 
    play 
    that 
    part 

    Verse 6
    And 
    if 
    life 
    is 
    for 
    the 
    living 

    Then 
    why 
    can't 
    men 
    be real 

    'Stead 
    of 
    hidin' 
    in 
    their 
    costumes 

    For
    gettin' 
    how 
    to feel, 

    for
    gettin' 
    how 
    to feel

    • 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.
