    • Intro 1

    I 
    wrote 
    a 
    simple 
    song 
    Verse 1


    With simple 
    words 
    and 
    harmony 

    Wasn't 
    very 
    long 

    Before 
    a 
    star, 
    I 
    was 
    bound 
    to 
    be 

    I didn't 
    care 
    if 
    it 
    made 
    the charts 
    Verse 2

    I 
    only 
    wrote 
    it 
    for 
    you 
    and 
    me 

    They 
    think 
    they're so 
    smart 
    now 

    They're 
    not 
    as 
    smart 
    as 

    they 
    want 
    to 
    be 

    They 
    took 
    my simple 
    song, 
    Verse 3
    yes, 
    they 
    did 

    They 
    changed 
    the words 

    and 
    the melody 

    Made 
    it 
    all 
    sound 
    wrong, 
    yeah 

    Now 
    it 
    sounds 
    like 
    a sym
    phony 

    Interlude 1

    Who 
    told 
    them 
    to 
    Verse 4
    mess 
    with my 

    Oh, 
    now, 
    who 
    gave 
    them 
    the 
    right 

    I wanna 
    know 
    now 

    That 
    song 
    was 
    personal 

    Because 
    I 
    Verse 5
    wrote 
    it 
    for 
    you 

    It's 
    yours 
    and 
    mine, 
    girl 

    Verse 6
    I 


    don't 
    care 
    if it 

    Makes 
    the charts, 
    y'all, 
    no 

    I 
    only 
    wrote 
    it 
    for 
    you 
    and 
    me 

    Verse 7
    They 
    think 
    they're so 
    smart 

    Yes, 
    they 
    do 

    They're 
    not 
    as 
    smart 

    As 
    they 
    want 
    to be 

    Who 
    told 
    them 
    to mess 
    Verse 8
    with my 

    Oh, 
    now, 
    who 
    gave 
    them 
    the 
    right 

    I 
    wanna 
    know 

    That 
    song 
    was 
    personal 

    Whoa, 
    I 
    Verse 9
    wro
    te 
    it 
    for 
    you 

    It's 
    yours 
    and 
    mine 

    Verse 10
    Yeah, 
    yeah, 
    oh, 
    oh

      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

      "

      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.
