    Millie, 

    I've 
    been checking 
    you 
    all 
    night 

    you know you've 
    made several 
    trips 
    to 
    the 
    door but 

    you always 
    find an 
    excuse 
    to come 
    back 

    you really 
    don't 
    wanna go 

    and 
    I think I 
    know why 

    I know 
    you've 
    been 
    in love 

    and been 
    let 
    down 

    you 
    think 
    the the same 
    thing 

    happens 
    everytime 
    around 

    But 
    can turn 
    it all 
    and 
    make 
    it 
    pay 

    if 
    had 
    my 
    way 

    You're 
    so 
    afraid, 

    coz 
    the 
    hurt 
    within 
    you 
    cries 

    and love 
    is just 
    another 

    word 
    for 
    pain 
    and lies 

    but 
    could 
    reach 
    right 
    out 
    and just 
    hold 
    you, 

    if 
    had 
    my 
    way 

    if you 
    let 
    me have 
    my 
    way 

    then 
    I can 
    show 
    you 

    so 
    just 
    stay 
    (stay) 

    stay 
    here 
    with 
    me 
    tonight 
    and 
    feel 

    what 
    the 
    feeling's 
    like 

    love 
    (love) 

    over 
    and 
    over 
    again 

    let 
    me take 
    you 
    where 
    you've 

    never been 

    As I'm 
    holding 
    you, 

    I can 
    see 
    it in 
    your 
    eyes 

    girl, 
    you've 
    never 
    had 

    your 
    secrets 
    satisfied 

    but 
    it 
    could 
    be 
    the way 
    as I told 
    you 

    just 
    let 
    me 
    have 
    my 
    way 

    if you 
    let 
    me 
    have 
    my 
    way 

    then I 
    can 
    show 
    you 

    come on 
    and stay 
    (stay) 

    stay 
    here 
    with 
    me 
    tonight 
    and 
    feel 

    what 
    the feeling's 
    like 

    we'll 
    make 
    love 
    (love) 

    over and 
    over 
    and 
    over 
    again 

    let 
    me 
    take 
    you 
    where 
    you've 

    nev
    er 
    been 

    so 
    baby 
    won't 
    you stay 

    (stay) 

    let me, 
    let 
    me, 
    let 
    me love 
    you 

    come 
    on over 
    and 
    stay 
    (stay) 

    don't 
    leave, 
    you just 
    can't 
    leave, 

    you 
    gotta 
    stay 
    (stay) 

    if you 
    stay, 
    we can 
    lay 

    to the 
    break 
    of day 

    so... 
    (won't you 
    stay) 

    see I've 
    been watching 
    you 
    and I 
    know 
    what's 

    on your mind 
    (stay) 

    I'm 
    not 
    tryna take 
    advantage 
    of you 

    I'm 
    here 
    for you 
    to take 
    advantage 
    of me 

    so 
    it's a 
    fair exchange, 

    you know 
    robbery 
    (won't 
    you stay) 

    you 
    got 
    what 
    I need, 
    and 
    I think 
    I got 
    what 
    you 
    need, 

    so... 
    (stay) 

    we 
    got 
    to 
    get 
    together 

    if 
    we 
    don't 
    and 
    the sun 
    comes 
    up to
    morrow 
    we 

    might 
    both 
    be great 
    (won't you 
    stay) 

    so 
    don't 
    try 
    play 
    so 
    hard, 

    everybody's 
    got a 
    weakness 

    I'll 
    tell 
    you 
    mine 
    if you tell 
    me 

    yours 
    (stay) 

    mine 
    is 
    my 
    head, 
    I like 
    for 
    it to 

    be(won't you 
    stay) stroked 
    and 
    stroked 

    so 
    now 
    you 
    come 
    along 

    (stay) 

    tell 
    me 
    yours 

    Millie: no 

    Isaac: come 
    on, 
    what 
    is it 

    Millie: you see, 
    you 
    famous 
    for your 
    head, 

    I mean 
    your 
    shiny 
    head 
    and 
    don't 
    wanna 
    be 
    just 
    another 
    hand 
    strok
    ing 
    your 
    head 

    and 
    like 
    all 
    men, 
    you'll 
    be 
    able 
    to take 

    advantage 
    of 
    the situation 

    Issac: well 
    that's 
    OK 
    too, 

    you 
    can 
    take 
    advantage 
    of me 
    (she don't 
    know...) 

    Millie: I don't 
    wanna 
    take 
    advantage 
    of 

    you 
    (...so can 
    she be 
    sure) 

    Isaac: yes 
    you do 

    Millie: no 
    don't 

    Isaac: I 
    know 
    you 
    do, 

    I can 
    see 
    the 
    ad
    vantage 
    in 
    you right 
    now 

    Millie: there's 
    a whole 
    lot 
    of 
    things 
    can 
    do to 
    you 
    but 

    taking 
    advantage 
    wouldn't 
    be 
    one 
    of 
    them 

    Isaac: OK 
    let's 
    forget 
    about 
    the ad
    vantage 
    thing, 

    let's talk 
    about 
    these 
    thing
    you can 
    do to 
    me 

    millie: no 

    Isaac: what 
    about 
    them 

    Millie: i 
    don't know, 

    shouldn't 
    let 
    you 
    know 
    about 
    these 
    things 

    Isaac: but 
    wanna 
    know 

    Millie: see, 
    you're 
    world 
    wide 
    man,

    been 
    all 
    around

    countries, 
    getting 
    all 
    different 
    kind
    of 
    lovin 
    and 
    you 
    might 
    have 
    too 
    much 
    ex
    perience, 

    you 
    make 
    it 
    too 
    good 
    to 
    me 
    and 
    I'd 
    wake 
    up 
    in the 
    middle 
    of the 
    night 
    one 
    morning 
    and 
    something 
    like 
    that, 
    thinking 
    about 
    you 
    and 
    all 
    hell 
    just 
    might 
    break 
    loose, 
    don't

    to do 
    what's 
    right, but 
    my sense 
    of reasoning 
    seems 
    a little 
    bit off 
    tonight, 

    I've... my time 
    to do wrong.

    be around 
    later on? 

    what I'm trying 
    to say 
    is, is 
    will you make 

    it better 
    if you 
    have your 
    way? 

    I wanna 
    stay (stay)

    you tonight

    what 
    the feeling's 
    like 

    and love 
    (love)

    and over 
    again

    • 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.
