    C

    The wise ones love to say
    Em
    G

    I wasn't born yesterday.
    C

    But the funny thing is, we always are,
    G

    in a matter of speaking.

    And growing up can take a whole lot of time,
    C
    G

    or it can happen in just one moment.
    C
    G

    I know, it seems like only yesterday,
    Em
    C
    G

    I was standing on the corner
    Em
    F
    D

    waiting for the bus like I do every morning,
    G
    C

    and I felt his eyes on me,
    Em

    and I looked at him,
    F
    F#dim
    G

    I just couldn't help it,

    and they were deep brown
    C
    G
    C

    an d somehow full of sunshine.
    F
    G

    Now I don't know if you've ever seen

    the eyes that were full of sunshine,
    C

    well his were.
    F
    G

    And he was so fine, solid, busting out, and eager,
    C
    F
    C
    G

    and shy, and strong, and looking down at me.
    C

    I felt, I felt right then
    G

    like I'd never felt before,
    Em
    G

    standing back in his seat, y 'all.

    We got on the bus,
    Em
    C
    G

    an d there was just one seat left, and I sat down,

    and he stood right over me,

    pretending to read
    C
    G

    with those sunny, shiny eyes of his.

    The bus jolted

    and he stepped on my foot
    Em
    C

    I said, ouch, he said he was sorry
    G
    Em
    F

    And from that moment on we've
    G

    never looked back

    Soon it was the Saturday

    night movement
    C

    Evenings to dance or
    Em
    G

    dream or just relax

    We saw flowers growing in the
    C

    cracks and dirty sidewalks
    F

    And we heard birds singing in
    D
    G

    the steel and concrete walls
    C

    Me and Mr. Sunshine
    Em
    F
    F#dim

    Sometimes I still imagine
    G

    I see flowers

    Growing in the cracks
    C
    F
    C
    G

    of the dirty, dirty sidewalks
    D
    G

    You touch me in the sun

    only one
    Ebdim
    Baug
    Em

    How wonderful

    the moment

    When the boy became a man

    You warned me in the night

    And you taught me how to feel
    Am
    Abaug

    But it all would seem unreal
    Am
    C
    F#dim

    To try and go back there

    I've been to many places and I've opened,

    • 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.
