  • Verse 1
    was always 
    young

    the pic
    ture means 
    so much 
    now 

    Photos 
    of those 
    friends 
    that we 
    knew, 

    who said 
    they'd 
    keep 
    in 
    touch 

    But 
    they nev
    er 
    called 
    us 
    much 

    I'm 
    doing very well 
    while my look

    s have gone 
    to hell 

    But what's really 
    strange 
    is 
    how 

    little you 
    have changed 

    I've grown 
    old 
    miss
    ing you, 
    Verse 2

    grown old 
    stuck 
    in the 
    pas

    The future 
    must 
    have stopped 
    somewhere, 

    maybe 
    it was 
    nev
    er there 

    But I've 
    grown 
    old 
    at 
    last 

    Verse 3

    You were always 
    young

    your picture 
    stays 
    so faith
    ful 

    I never 
    saw 
    those friends 
    that 
    we knew 

    who 
    called 
    out of 
    the 
    blue 

    They asked 
    how they 
    could reach 
    you 

    They said they 
    're doing 
    well 
    while 

    our friendship 
    went to hell 

    But I couldn't 
    bear to 
    say 
    that I missed 
    you 
    every 
    day 

    Interlude 1


    Your 
    picture 
    never speak
    Verse 4

    It never 
    gets much 
    clear
    er 

    When magnified 
    it nev
    er 
    brings 

    you 
    near
    er 

    Through all 
    those 
    empty 
    years, 

    watermarked with tears 

    It's held 
    up 
    very well 
    while my life 

    has 
    gone to 
    hell 

    But what's 
    really strange 
    is 
    how little 
    have 
    changed

    • 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.
