    G

    If you could read my mind, love,
    F

    what a tale my thoughts could tell
    G
    F

    Just like an old time movie about

    a ghost from a wishing well
    G
    C

    In a castle dark or a fortress strong
    G
    Dsus4
    D
    Em

    with chains upon my feet
    C
    G

    You know that ghost is me
    C
    G

    And I won't ever be set free
    Am
    C

    As long as I'm a ghost
    D
    G

    that you can't see
    F

    If I could read your mind, love, what a tale your thoughts could tell,
    G
    F

    just like a paper -back novel, a kind the drugstore sells.
    G

    When you reach the path
    C
    Csus4

    where the heartaches come
    C
    D

    The hero would be me,
    Em
    C
    G

    but heroes often fail
    C
    G
    Am

    And you won't read that book again because the
    C
    Dsus4
    D
    G
    F
    Dm
    G

    ending is just too hard to tell
    F

    G
    Csus4
    C

    I walk away like a movie star
    D
    Em

    Who gets burned in a three -way script
    C
    G
    C

    In turn number two, a movie queen
    G
    Am
    C

    To play the scene of bringing all the good
    Dsus4
    C
    Dsus4
    D
    Em

    things out in me
    C

    But for now, love,
    G
    C
    G

    let's be real I never thought I could act this way
    Am

    And I've got to say that I
    Dsus4
    C
    Dsus4

    just don't get it
    D
    C
    G

    I don't know where we went wrong
    Am

    But the feeling's gone
    D
    G
    A

    And I just can't get it back

    If you could read my mind, love
    G

    What a tale my thoughts could tell
    A

    Just like an old time movie
    G

    About a ghost from a wishing well
    A

    In a castle dark
    Dsus4

    Or a fort ress strong
    D
    Esus4
    E
    F#m

    With chains upon my feet
    D
    A

    Stories always end
    D
    A

    And if you read between the lines,
    Bm
    Esus4
    F#m
    D
    A

    you'll know that I'm just trying to understand the feelings that you've got
    D
    A

    I never thought I could feel this way,
    Bm
    E

    and I've got to say that I just don't get it
    D
    A

    I don't know where we went wrong,
    Bm
    E
    A

    but the feeling's gone, and I just can't get it back

    • 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.
