    • Verse 1
    I've had 
    my 
    way with so 
    many girls 

    And 
    it 
    was lots 
    of 
    fun 

    My 
    scheme 
    was to know 
    many girls 

    To 
    keep me safe 
    from one 

    I find 
    it can't 
    be 
    done 

    My 
    de
    fenses 
    are down 

    She's 
    broken my resist
    ance 

    And I 
    don't know 
    where 
    I am 

    I 
    went into 
    the fight 
    like 
    a lion 

    But 
    I 
    came out 
    like 
    a 
    lamb 

    My de
    fenses are 
    down 

    She's 
    got 
    me where she wants 
    me 

    And I 
    can
    't escape, 

    no 
    how 
    I 
    could speak 
    to my 
    heart when 
    it 
    wakened 

    But 
    my heart 
    won't listen, 
    no 

    Like 
    a toothless, 
    flawless 
    ti
    ger 

    Like 
    an organ 
    grinder's 
    bear 

    Like 
    a knight 
    without his 
    armor 

    Like 
    Samson 
    without 
    his 
    hair 

    My 
    de
    fenses 
    are down 

    I 
    might as well 
    sur
    render 

    For the 
    battle 
    can't 
    be 
    won 

    But 
    I 
    must 
    confess 
    that 
    I like 
    it 

    So 
    there's nothing 
    to be 
    done 

    Yes, 
    I 
    must 
    con
    fess that 
    I 
    like 
    it 

    Be
    ing 
    miserable's 
    gonna be 
    fun 

    His 
    de
    fenses 
    are down, 

    she's 
    broken 
    his 
    res
    istance 

    and 
    he's in 
    an 
    awful 
    jam 

    I 
    went 
    into 
    the 
    fight like 
    a 
    lion 

    But you 
    came 
    out 
    like 
    a 
    lam
    b 

    My 
    defenses 
    are 
    down 

    She's 
    got you 
    where she 
    wants 
    you 

    and you 
    can't 
    es
    cape, 

    no 
    how 
    I 
    could 
    speak 
    to my 
    heart 
    when 
    it wakened 

    But 
    your 
    heart 
    won't 
    listen 
    now 

    Like 
    a toothless, 
    claw
    less tiger 

    Like 
    an 
    organ grinder
    's bear 

    Like 
    a 
    knight without 
    his 
    armor 

    Like 
    Sam
    son 
    without 
    his 
    hair 

    My 
    defenses 
    are 
    down 

    I might 
    as well surrender 

    Therefore the battle 
    can 
    be 
    Verse 2
    won 

    But I 
    Verse 3
    must confess 
    that 
    I 
    like it 

    So 
    there's nothing 
    to be 
    Verse 4
    done 

    Yes, 
    I must 
    confess 
    that I 
    Verse 5
    like it 

    Be
    ing 
    miser
    able 
    is 
    Verse 6
    gonna 
    be 
    fun

    Fight!

      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

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
