    all 

    When 
    are you 
    going 
    to see? 

    Friends 
    tell 
    you true 
    and 
    your

    advice 

    that 
    comes 
    free 

    Verse 11
    Get 
    what you 
    want 
    you 
    don't 
    want 
    it 

    Not 
    even 
    glad 
    while 
    you 
    eat 

    Wait 
    for 
    your 
    flight, 

    while 
    the 
    heavyweights 
    fight

    try 
    to 
    land 
    in 
    the sleet

    It 
    is 
    what

    And 
    birds 
    can't 
    row 
    boats, 

    baby 
    blue 

    Will some 
    fool 
    sit 
    stuck 
    on 

    the 
    runway 
    and say, 

    "Hell, 
    it's 
    only 
    me 
    this 
    happens 
    to?" 

    Verse 13
    It 
    is 
    what 
    it 
    is 
    and

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
