  • Verse 1
    There's 
    a light 
    out 
    on 
    the 
    freeway 

    Says 
    it's time 
    to go 

    I'm 
    wasting 
    my 
    time 
    counting 

    Stain
    on 
    a barroom 
    floor 

    Think
    ing 'bout 
    my 
    hometown 

    And 
    the friend
    s I'll 
    leave 

    be
    hind 

    Mostly 
    'bout 
    the 
    man 
    who 
    writes 

    His 
    songs 
    with smiling 
    rhymes 

    And I'm 
    holding 
    on 
    to 
    a smokey 
    view 

    Of his 
    dream
    in the 
    midnight 
    light 

    Verse 2

    Michael 
    counts 
    his songs 

    In the 
    years 
    of 
    wasted 
    miles 

    I used 
    to think 
    he was 
    really 
    part 

    Of 
    that 
    fantasy 
    in rhyme 

    But 
    looking 
    back 
    on 
    all 
    his 
    tunes 

    Of butterflies 
    and sunshine 

    There 
    was 
    only 
    one 
    about 
    the 

    Man 
    he 
    kept 
    inside 

    About 
    the 
    time 
    he crossed 
    the line 

    And 
    let a 
    tear 
    come 
    to 
    his 
    eye 

    Verse 3

    I used 
    to 
    hide 
    out 

    In 
    his 
    pretty 
    smile 

    And 
    hope 
    it 
    would shine 
    me 

    Through 
    the 
    morrow 

    Until 
    learned 
    the way 

    It 
    feels 
    to 
    be 
    the man 

    Who sings 
    the 
    world 
    a smile 

    Without 
    soul 
    to share 
    his 
    sor
    row 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 4
    The light 
    here 
    at 
    the freeway 

    Well, 
    it's turn
    ing 
    green 
    to 
    gold 

    The stains 
    on 
    that 
    barroom 
    floor 

    Ten 
    miles 
    back 
    down 

    the road 

    Thinking 
    'bout 
    how 
    that 
    old 
    bar 

    Brought 
    Michael 
    back 
    to 
    mind 

    And how 
    can 
    sing 
    his 
    blues 

    And 
    be 
    smiling 
    here 
    inside 

    I guess 
    a weary 
    soul 
    will 
    al
    ways 

    Verse 5
    used 
    to 
    hide 
    out 

    In 
    his 
    pretty 
    smile 

    And 
    hope 
    it 
    would shine 
    me 

    Through 
    the 
    morrow 

    Until 
    learned 
    the way 

    It 
    feels 
    to 
    be 
    the man 

    Who sings 
    the world 
    a smile 

    Without 
    soul 
    to share 
    his 
    sor

    row

    • 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.
