    Verse 1
    Even 
    if 
    am 
    in 
    love 
    with 
    you 

    All 
    this 
    to 
    say, 
    what's 
    it 
    to 
    you? 

    Ob
    serve 
    the 
    blood, 
    the 
    rose 
    tattoo 

    Of 
    the 
    fingerprints 
    on 
    me 
    from 
    you 

    Other 
    evidence 
    has 
    shown 

    That 
    you 
    and 
    are 
    still 
    alone 

    We 
    skirt 
    around 
    the 
    danger 
    zone 

    And 
    don't 
    talk 
    about 
    it 
    later 

    Chorus 1
    Marlene 
    watches 
    from 
    the 
    wall 

    Her 
    mocking 
    smile 
    says 
    it 
    all 

    As 
    she 
    records 
    the 
    rise 
    and 
    fall 

    Of 
    every 
    soldier 
    passing 

    But 
    the 
    only 
    soldier 
    now 
    is 
    me 

    I'm 
    fighting 
    things 
    cannot 
    see 

    think 
    it's 
    called 
    my 
    desti
    ny 

    That 
    am 
    changing 

    Marlene 
    on 
    the 
    wall 

    Verse 2
    Well, 
    walk 
    to 
    your 
    house 
    in 
    the 
    afternoon 

    By 
    the 
    butcher 
    shop 
    with 
    the 
    sawdust 
    strewn 

    "Don't 
    give 
    away 
    the 
    goods 
    too 
    soon" 

    Is 
    what 
    she 
    might 
    have 
    told 
    me 

    And 
    tried 
    so 
    hard 
    to 
    resist 

    And 
    when 
    you 
    held 
    me 
    in 
    your 
    handsome 
    fist 

    And 
    re
    minded 
    me 
    of 
    the 
    night 
    we 
    kissed 

    And 
    of 
    why 
    should 
    be 
    leaving 

    Chorus 2
    Marlene 
    watches 
    from 
    the 
    wall 

    Her 
    mocking 
    smile 
    says 
    it 
    all 

    As 
    she 
    records 
    the 
    rise 
    and 
    fall 

    Of 
    every 
    soldier 
    passing 

    But 
    the 
    only 
    soldier 
    now 
    is 
    me 

    I'm 
    fighting 
    things 
    cannot 
    see 

    think 
    it's 
    called 
    my 
    desti
    ny 

    That 
    am 
    changing 

    Marlene 
    on 
    the 
    wall

    • 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.
