Verse 1
G

I remember when I was a girl
C

Our house caught on fire

And I'll never forget the look
G

on my father's face

As he gathered me in his arms
C

And raced to the burning building
F

out on the pavement
C

And I stood there shivering
G

And watched the whole world
C

go up in flames
F

And when it was all over
C

I said to myself
Bb

"Is that all there is to a fire?"
Ab
G

Is that all there is?

Is that all there is?

If that's all there is, my friends,
Cm

then let's keep dancing
Bb

Let's break out the booze
Eb
Ebm
Bb

and have a ball
D
G
Cm

If that's all there is
Ab

And when I was twelve years old
Cb
Ebdim

My daddy took me to
Cm

the circus
Ab

The greatest show on earth
Cb
Ebdim

And there were clowns
Cm

And elephants
Ebdim
Ebm

Dancing bears,
Bb

And a beautiful lady in pink tights
Cm

flew high above our heads
Ebdim
Cb

And as I sat there watching
Ebdim
Ab
Cm

I had the feeling that something was missing
Ebdim

I don't know what
Cb
Ebdim

But when it was all over
Cm
Ebm

I said to myself
Bb
G

"Is that all there is to the circus?"

Is that all there is?

If that's all there is, my friends,
Cm

then let's keep dancing
Ab
Bb
Eb

Let's break out the booze

and have a ball
A
D
Cm

If that's all there is
Ab
Ebm

And then I fell in love

With the most wonderful
Ebdim
Cm

boy in the world
Ebm

We'd take long walks

down by the river
Cm

Or just sit for hours gazing in
Ebm

to each other's eyes
Bb

We were so very much in love
Cm

And then one day
Ebm

He went away
Cm

And I thought I'd die
Ebm

But I didn't
Cm

And when I didn't
Ab
Ebm

I said to myself
Bb
G

"Is that all there is to love?"

Is that all there is?

If that's all there is, my friends,
Ab
Cm

then let's keep
Ab

I know what you must be
Cb

saying to yourselves
Cm

If that's the way she feels
Ebdim

about it
Cm

Then why doesn't she just end it all
Ab
Ebm
Bb

Oh no. not me. I'm not ready

for the final disappointment
Cm

'Cause I know just as well as I'm stand
Ebdim

Cm

ing here talking to you
Ab
Cb

That when that final moment comes
Ab

And I'm breathing my last breath

I know what I'll be saying
Ebm
Bb

to myself
G

"Is that all there is?"

Is that all there is?

If that's all there is, my friends,

  • 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.
