    Verse 1
    D

    I've never had a way
    Em

    with women
    C
    G

    But the hills of Iowa make
    D
    G

    me wish that I could

    And I've never found
    D
    Em

    a way to say I love you
    C
    G

    But if the chance came by,
    D
    G

    oh, I, I would
    Em

    But way back where I come from,
    C
    G

    we never mean to bother
    Am

    We don't like to make our passions
    D

    other people's concern
    G
    D

    And we walk in the world
    Em

    of safe people
    C
    G

    And at night, we walk into
    D
    G

    our houses and burn

    Verse 3

    D
    Em

    How I long to fall just a little bit
    C
    G

    To dance out of the lines
    D
    G

    and stray from the light
    D
    Em

    But I fear that to fall in love with you
    C
    G

    Is to fall from a great and
    D
    G

    gruesome height

    So you know,
    Em
    C

    I asked a friend about it on a bad day
    Am

    Her husband had just left her
    D

    She sat down on the chair he'd left behind,
    G

    she said
    D
    Em

    "What is love? Where did it get me?
    C
    G

    Whoever thought of love
    D
    G

    is no friend of mine"

    D
    Em

    Once I had everything, I gave it up
    C
    G

    For the shoulder of your driveway and
    D
    G

    the words I've never felt

    And so for you,
    D
    Em

    I came this far across the tracks
    C
    G
    D

    Ten miles above the limit and with no
    G

    seatbelt, and I'd do it again
    Em

    For tonight, I went running through
    C
    G

    the screen doors of discretion
    Am

    For I woke up from a nightmare that I
    D
    C

    could not stand to see

    You were a-wandering out
    G
    Em

    out on the hills of Iowa
    C
    Am
    D

    And you were not thinking of me

    • 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.”
