  • Verse 1
    Is 
    it 
    my 
    imagination 

    or 
    is 
    it 
    my 
    iron 
    pride 

    wonder 
    if 
    it 
    matters 
    much 

    if 
    time 
    is 
    on 
    my 
    side 

    I'd 
    rather 
    press 
    on, 

    don't 
    wanta 
    rest 
    easy 

    Anywhere 
    stray, 

    will 
    make 
    it 
    brand 
    new 
    day 

    Verse 2
    Anyway, 
    that 
    is 
    all 
    I've 
    gotta 
    say 

    I'd 
    rather 
    be 
    by 
    the sea
    side 

    Than 
    be 
    play
    ing 
    one 
    night 
    stand 

    I've

    wrapped 

    up in 
    my 
    own 
    dreams 

    Verse 3
    will 
    change 
    things 
    if 
    can 

    gotta 
    press 
    on, 

    don't 
    wanta 
    rest 
    easy 

    Wouldn't 
    it 
    feel 
    fine 
    to 
    return 

    to 
    the 
    women 
    and 
    the 
    wine 

    And 
    all 
    of 
    the 
    sun
    shine 
    that 

    Interlude 1
    we 
    knew 


    Verse 4
    You 
    will 
    never 
    know 
    what 
    blue 
    is 

    Until 
    you 
    have 
    played 
    the 
    game 

    Till 
    you 
    live 
    life 
    in 
    solitaire 
    where 

    No 
    one 
    knows 
    your 
    name 

    Verse 5
    I'd 
    rather 
    press 
    on, 

    don't 
    want 
    to rest 
    easy 

    Have 
    it anyway 
    you 
    will 

    will 
    be 
    with 
    you 
    right 
    up 
    un
    til 

    The spell 
    is 
    broken 
    and 
    all 
    is 
    well 

    Verse 6

    If you'd 
    rather 
    be 
    by 
    the sea
    shore 

    Well, 
    I sure 
    can 
    understand 

    Are 
    you 
    too 
    wrapped 

    up 
    in 
    your 
    own 
    scene 

    would 
    change 
    things 
    if 
    can 

    Verse 7
    I'd 
    rather 
    press 
    on, 

    don't 
    want 
    to 
    rest 
    easy 

    Wouldn't 
    it 
    feel 
    fine 

    But 
    remem
    bering 
    the 

    rhythm 
    and 
    the 
    rhymes 

    And 
    all 
    of 
    the 
    good 
    times 
    makes 
    me 
    blue 

    Interlude 2

    Wouldn't 
    it 
    feel 
    fine 
    to 
    return 
    to 

    the 
    women 
    and 
    the 
    wine 

    And 
    all 
    of 
    the 
    sun
    shine 
    that

    • 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.
