    Verse 1
    Dark 
    night, 

    but 
    there's 
    plenty 
    to 
    be
    lieve 
    in 

    Why'd 
    you 
    have to 
    let 
    her 

    touch 
    your 
    feel
    ings? 

    always 
    gave 
    you 
    everything 

    that 
    you needed 

    All 
    you 
    had 
    to 
    do 
    was ask, 

    but 
    you 
    just 
    got 
    greedy 

    Now 
    the 
    only 
    time 
    we 
    talk 
    is 

    when 
    we 
    talk 
    alone 

    To 
    the 
    voices 
    that 
    you 
    leave 
    on 
    your 

    mech
    anical 
    tele
    phone 

    Sometimes 
    call 
    just 
    to 
    hear 

    your 
    voice 
    set 
    free 

    the 
    tongues 
    and 
    claws 

    But 
    the 
    memory 
    keep 

    doesn't 
    really 
    let 
    me 

    leave 
    any 
    word 
    at 
    all 

    violin 
    so
    lo 

    You 
    was 
    like 
    any 
    woman 

    who 
    was 
    easy 

    Hope 
    you've 
    met 
    your match 

    But 
    can 
    she 
    free 
    me? 

    You 
    always 
    said 
    I'd 
    be 
    the 
    first 
    to 
    walk 

    You 
    say 
    I'm 
    al
    ways 
    the 
    first to 
    talk 

    But 
    can 
    she 
    free 
    me? 

    Now 
    we 
    rarely 
    talk 
    alone 

    We 
    usually 
    speak 
    in 
    groups 

    To 
    the 
    people 
    you 
    invite 

    For 
    the 
    theater 
    and 
    bite 

    Who 
    are 
    used 
    to 
    you 

    They 
    like 
    to 
    listen 
    to 
    their 
    own 
    mouths 
    move, 

    they 
    like 
    to 
    watch 
    your 
    jaw 
    drop 
    too 

    But 
    the 
    way 
    the 
    seasons 
    fade 
    when 
    the 
    covers 
    are 
    made, 

    and I'm 
    so 
    far 
    away 

    Mmmm 

    Bet 
    you 
    thought 
    it'd 
    be 
    an easy 
    thing 

    Bet 
    you thought 
    lived 
    alone 

    Wonder 
    for 
    the 
    vision 
    and 
    the 
    after 
    -play 

    I've 
    had 
    better 
    times 
    alone 

    Now 
    and 
    rarely 
    talk 
    of 
    love 

    We 
    only 
    speak 
    of 
    meat 

    An
    the 
    sacrifice 
    of 
    life 

    To 
    the 
    altar 
    and 
    the 
    knife 

    On 
    mound 
    of 
    grief 

    Rarely 
    caught 
    just 
    to 
    hear 
    your 
    voice 

    Set 
    free 
    in 
    the pillars 
    and 
    stones 

    But 
    for 
    the 
    company 

    keep 
    when I 
    speak 

    To 
    your 
    mechanical 
    tele
    phone 

    It's 
    the 
    company 
    keep 
    when 
    speak 

    You're 
    mechanical 
    tele
    phone 

    The 
    company 
    keep

    • 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.
