    • Verse 1
    I 
    had 

    to 
    learn 
    the 
    hard 
    way 

    That 
    love 
    is 
    not 
    just 
    a game 

    Even 
    though 
    love 
    is 
    a 
    beautiful 
    thing, 

    I 
    didn't 
    know 
    the 
    pain 
    it 
    could 
    bring, 
    oh, 

    how I've 
    cried, 
    I've 
    cried 

    For 
    a 
    long 
    time, 
    I 
    just 
    didn't 
    understand 

    that 
    living 
    and 
    loving 
    goes 
    hand 
    in hand 

    I 
    real
    ized 
    now, 
    it 
    was 
    all 
    a 
    mistake 

    Not 
    knowing 
    that 
    love 
    is 
    give 
    and 
    take 

    Cause 
    no one 
    ever 
    told 
    me 

    that 
    love 
    could hurt 
    you so 

    And 
    when 
    it happened 
    to 
    me, 

    I 
    just 
    didn't 
    know, 
    baby 

    I 
    just 
    didn't 
    know 

    I 
    had 
    to 
    learn 
    the 
    hard 
    way 

    that 
    love 
    is 
    not 
    just 
    a 
    game 

    Even 
    though 
    love, 
    it's 
    a 
    beautiful 
    thing 

    I 
    didn't 
    know 
    the 
    pain 
    it could 
    bring 

    Oh, 
    how 
    I 
    cried, 
    how 
    I 
    cried 

    Yes, 
    my father 
    taught 
    me 

    everything 
    he 
    knew 

    But 
    it 
    wasn't 
    enough 
    to 
    deal 
    with 
    you 

    Your 
    leav
    ing 
    me 
    was 
    a 

    blessing 
    in 
    disguise 

    You 
    taught 
    me 
    a les
    son 

    and 
    made 
    me 
    wise 

    Now 
    you're 
    back 
    in 
    my 
    arms 

    I'm 
    praying 
    that 
    you'll 
    stay 

    Cause 
    I 
    remember 
    the 
    price 
    I've 
    had 
    to 
    pay, 

    baby 
    I've 
    had 
    to 
    pay 


    I 
    had 
    to 
    learn 
    the 
    hard 
    way 

    That 
    love 
    is 
    not 
    just 
    a 
    game 

    Even 
    though 
    love 
    is 
    a 
    beautiful 
    thing 

    I 
    didn't 
    know 
    the 
    pain 
    it 
    could 
    bring 

    Oh, 
    how I've 
    cried, 

    how 
    I've 
    cried 

    I 
    had 
    to 
    learn 
    the 
    hard, 
    hard 
    way 

    That 
    love 
    is 
    not 
    just 
    a 
    game 

    Even 
    though 
    love, 
    yes, 
    it's 
    a 
    beautiful 
    thing 

    I 
    didn't 
    know 
    the 
    pain 

    it could 
    bring

    Oh 
    how 
    I've 
    cried, 

    baby 
    I've 
    cried 

    I 
    had 
    to 
    learn 
    the 
    hard 
    way 

    That 
    love, 
    love, 

    love 
    is 
    not 
    just 
    a 
    game 

    Even 
    though 
    the 
    love 
    is 
    a 
    beau
    tiful 
    thing 

    I 
    didn't 
    know 
    the 
    pain 
    it 
    could 
    bring 

    That's 
    why 
    I 
    had 
    to 
    cry, 

    yes 
    I 
    had 
    to cry 

    Sometimes 
    for 
    the 
    wrong, 
    wrong,

      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.
