Verse 1
D

At first you seemed just like my dream

Of a finer better life
Bm
D

Much more than I could ask for
Bm
D

In a lover or a wife
Em

Though I work with my body

And my work makes my hands rough
A

There are gentle things inside me

That are anything but tough
Verse 2
D

There are lessons you could teach me

Things I do not know

Things I've never done, girl

And places we could go
Em

But you only wear your tailored suits

For me to rip and tear
A

Ah, can't I hold you quietly

And smell your perfumed hair?
Verse 3
D

I saw you as the answer

That I never dared to dream
Bm
D

I saw you as the window

Into a world I'd never seen
Em

I saw you as the vision

Come to raise me from the mud
A

But you came to use my sweat to cool
D

The fever in your blood

I'm not Marlon Brando

On his motorcycle bike

When you call me your animal
Bm

It's a name I do not like
Em

Please do not tear my back
Em

Yes, of course I bleed

The violence you thirst for

Is not what I need
Verse 5

Your silken skin is armor

That begs for brutal hands

But why can't I be gentle
Bm

And tell you of my plans?

I know that you're using me

Not I just using you

Of losing me as I losing you

  • 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.
