    Verse 1
    Seems 
    like 
    only 
    yesterday 

    left 
    my 
    mind 
    behind 

    Down 
    in 
    the 
    gypsy 
    café 

    With 
    friend 
    of 
    friend 
    of 
    mine 

    Who 
    sat 
    with 
    baby 
    heavy 
    on 
    her 
    knee 

    Yet 
    spoke 
    of 
    life 
    most 
    free 
    from 
    slaver

    With 
    eyes 
    that 
    showed 
    no 
    trace 
    of 
    miser

    phrase 
    in 
    connection 
    first 
    with 
    she 

    oc
    curred 

    That 
    love 
    is 
    just 
    four-letter 
    word 

    Verse 2
    Out
    side 
    rambling 
    store-front 
    window 

    Cats 
    meowed 
    to 
    the 
    break 
    of 
    day 

    Me, 
    kept 
    my 
    mouth 
    shut 

    To 
    you 
    had 
    no 
    words 
    to 
    say 

    My 
    ex
    perience 
    was 
    limited 
    and 
    under
    fed 

    You 
    were 
    talking 
    while 
    hid 

    To 
    the 
    one 
    who 
    was 
    the 
    father 
    of 
    your 
    kid 

    You 
    probably 
    didn't 
    think 
    did, 
    but 
    heard 

    You 
    say, 
    that 
    love 

    is 
    just 
    four-letter 
    word 

    Verse 3
    said 
    goodbye 
    unnoticed 

    Pushed 
    forth 
    into 
    my 
    own 
    games 

    Drifting 
    in 
    and 
    out 
    of 
    lifetimes 

    Un
    mentionable 
    by 
    name 

    Searching 
    for 
    my 
    double, 
    looking 
    for 

    Com
    plete 
    evaporation 
    to 
    the 
    core 

    Though 
    tried 
    and 
    failed 
    at 
    finding 
    any 
    door 

    must 
    have 
    thought 
    that 

    there 
    was 
    nothing 
    more 
    ab
    surd 

    Than 
    that 
    love 
    is 
    just 
    four-letter 
    word 

    Verse 4
    Though 
    never 
    knew 
    just 
    what 
    you 
    meant 

    When 
    you 
    were 
    speaking 
    to 
    your 
    man 

    can 
    only 
    think 
    in 
    terms 
    of 
    me 

    And 
    now 
    understand 

    After 
    waking 
    enough 
    times 
    to 
    think 
    see 

    The 
    holy 
    kiss 

    that's 
    supposed 
    to 
    last 
    eterni
    ty 

    Blow 
    up 
    in 
    smoke, 
    its 
    desti
    ny 

    Falls 
    on 
    strangers, 
    travels 
    free 

    Yes, 
    know 
    now, 
    traps 
    are 
    only 
    set 
    by 
    me 

    And 
    do 
    not 
    really 
    need 
    to 
    be 

    as
    sured 

    That 
    love 
    is 
    just 
    four-letter 
    word 

    Verse 5
    Strange 
    it 
    is 
    to 
    be 
    beside 
    you 

    Many 
    years 
    the 
    tables 
    turned 

    You'd 
    probably 
    not 
    believe 
    me 

    If 
    told 
    you 
    all 
    I've 
    learned 

    And 
    it 
    is 
    very, 
    very 
    weird 
    in
    deed 

    To 
    hear 
    words 
    like 
    forev
    er, 
    fleets 

    Of 
    ships 
    run 
    through 
    my 
    mind, 
    cannot 
    cheat 

    It's 
    like 
    looking 
    in 
    the 
    teacher's 
    face 
    com
    plete 

    can 
    say 
    nothing 
    to 
    you 
    but 
    re
    peat 

    what 
    heard 

    That 
    love 
    is 
    just 
    four-letter 
    word

    • 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.
