    Verse 1
    Can 

    you give 
    me something? 

    Tonight, 
    I'm 
    so 
    alone 

    The 
    moon 
    is 
    upside 
    down, 

    hanging 
    on a 
    telephone 

    But 
    I 
    remember 
    every 
    little 
    bad 
    dream 

    Every 
    pretty 
    slow 
    dance 

    Verse 2
    So 
    can 
    I 
    pick 
    you 
    up 
    later? 
    (When your 

    temperature's 
    better) 

    If you 
    need 
    a 
    little 
    shelter 
    (be your 

    cool 
    operator) 

    Keep it 
    all 
    quiet, 

    yeah 
    (just a 
    little 
    louder) 

    Let 
    the night 
    wind 
    you 
    down, 
    baby, 
    down 

    And 
    she 
    smiles, 
    Verse 3
    how 
    'bout 
    that? 

    I 
    was 
    just 
    about 
    to 
    jump 

    before 
    you 
    called 
    me 
    back 

    And 
    you 
    know 
    the pain 
    comes 
    home 

    And 
    the 
    whispers 
    come 
    to call 
    me 

    in 
    my 
    bed 
    when 
    I'm 
    alone 

    And 
    I've 
    lost 
    so 
    much 

    more 
    than 
    I 
    ever 
    had 

    Now 
    my 
    name 
    is 
    the 
    night, 

    honey, 
    color 
    me 
    black 

    C-color 
    me 
    me 
    black 

    Verse 4
    Can 
    I take 
    you 
    somewhere? 

    Would 
    it make 
    a 
    difference? 

    Like 
    pretty 
    roses 
    on 
    a 
    deathbed 

    But 
    I 
    remember 
    you in your 

    white 
    dress 

    In 
    your 
    mama's 
    hand
    s 

    Verse 5
    So 
    can 
    I 
    pick 
    you 
    up 
    later? 
    (When your 

    temperature's 
    better) 

    If you 
    need 
    a 
    little 
    shelter 

    (be your 
    cool 
    oper
    ator) 

    Keep it 
    all 
    quiet, 

    yeah 
    (just a little 
    louder) 

    Let 
    the night 
    wind 
    us 
    down, 
    baby, 
    down 

    And 
    she 
    smiles, 
    Verse 6
    how 
    'bout 
    that? 

    I 
    was 
    just 
    about 
    to jump 
    be

    fore 
    you 
    called 
    me 
    back 

    But 
    you 
    know 
    the pain 
    comes 
    home 

    And the 
    whispers 
    come 
    to call 
    me 

    in 
    my 
    bed 
    when 
    I'm 
    alone 

    And 
    I've 
    lost 
    so 
    much 

    more 
    than 
    I 
    ever 
    had 

    Now 
    my 
    name 
    is 
    the 
    night, 

    honey, 
    color 
    me 
    black 

    C-color 
    me 
    me 
    black 

    And 
    how 
    Verse 7
    long, 
    how 
    long 
    un
    til 
    you 

    believe 
    that 
    part 
    of me 
    is 
    gone? 

    With 
    your 
    sweet, 
    naive 
    kiss 

    Well 
    I 
    used 
    to feel 
    the 
    same 

    until 
    I 
    let 
    the darkness 
    in 

    And it 
    cost 
    me 
    nothing, 
    baby, 

    nah 
    nothing 
    more 
    than 
    this 

    Nothing 
    more 
    than 
    this 
    useless 

    heart 
    in 
    my 
    chest 

    Nothing 
    that 
    I 
    needed, 

    and 
    nothing 
    I 
    regret 

    Nothing 
    that 
    I 
    needed, 

    and I'd 
    do 
    it 
    all 
    again 

    I'd 
    do 
    it all 
    again 

    Verse 8

    And 
    she 
    smiles, 
    how 
    'bout 
    that? 

    I 
    was 
    just 
    about 
    to jump 

    before 
    you 
    called 
    me 
    back 

    But 
    you 
    know 
    the 
    pain 
    comes 
    home 

    And the 
    whispers 
    come 
    to call 
    me 
    in 

    my 
    bed 
    when 
    I'm 
    alone 

    Singing, 
    "ooh, 
    not 
    just 
    yet" 

    When 
    I 
    go, 
    I'll 
    be 
    going 
    out 
    in 

    flames 
    and 
    fiery 
    wrecks 

    And the 
    quiet 
    to me, 

    such 
    an 
    ominous 
    sound 

    Said 
    my 
    name 
    is 
    the nighttime 
    now 

    Yes, 
    the quiet 
    to me, 

    such 
    an 
    ominous 
    sound 

    And 
    my 
    name 
    is 
    the 
    night, 

    honey, 
    color 
    me 
    black

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
