Verse 1
D

All the lights are green

on Franklin Street
F#m

when I drove home last night
G

And every four -way stop

that I approached,
A

hey, I was on the right
D

And when I drove past your house again,
F#m

hey, like I always do
G

I thought about the one thing in my life
A

that didn't come true
D

And it was you, it was you,
F#m

who said the dreams come true
G

And it was you, it was you,
A

who said that mine would too
D

And it was you who said that

But when your ivory towers tumble down,
A
D

they tumble down on me

Well, I turned into the driveway,
F#m

through the gates and pass along
G

And I sat and stared into the dark
A

before I shut it off
D

And she met me at the door
F#m

and pressed her face into my shirt
G

And as awful as it sounds,
A

I wished it wasn't her
D

But it was you, it was you,
F#m

who said the dreams come true
G

And it was you, it was you,
A

who said the mind would too
D

And it was you who said that

I still wish on every shooting star

F#m

that streaks across the sky
G

And at every four -leaf clover,
A

hey, I still close my eyes
D

And at every church steeple,
F#m

I still whisper a prayer
G

when I open up my eyes
A

hey darling you're not there and it was you
D

it was you who said

the dreams come true

G

white trash speak for yourself buddy

I've been heckled before laughter

Oh, it's just Novelty

Night at the Old Tin Angel,

all these songs

endlessly

your whole childhood.

You live this entire life

so somebody can scream out, big hair!

  • 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.
