  • Verse 1
    I'm 
    beginning 
    to like 
    you 

    But, 
    you know 
    that 
    ain't 
    right 

    'Cause 
    you'll just 
    twist 

    and twist 
    and twist 

    Till 
    I'm 
    all crooked 
    in
    side 

    You'll 
    take 
    all 
    you gave 
    Verse 2
    me 

    Like 
    it never 
    was 
    there 

    And 
    I think 
    that I might, 
    no, 
    I know 

    Yes, 
    I will 
    help 
    you there 

    'Cause, 
    I've 
    done 
    it be
    Verse 3
    fore 

    and 
    I'd do it 
    again 

    'Cause 
    it's the 
    only 
    time 

    That makes me 
    feel like 
    I'm 

    My own 
    be
    st 
    friend 

    Verse 4
    I'm 
    a victim 
    of fric
    tion, 

    got too 
    close 
    to 
    see 

    Yeah, 
    we sparked 
    in the dark 
    and God 

    hung 
    a light 
    on 
    me 

    The lamp 
    gets 
    real heavy, 

    it hangs 
    from my 
    heart 

    And 
    it comes 
    and it goes 
    till 
    I can't 

    tell the difference 
    apart 

    But 
    I've 
    done 
    it before 
    Verse 5

    and 
    I'd do 
    it again 

    'Cause 
    it's the 
    only 
    time 

    That 
    makes me 
    feel like 
    I'm 

    My 
    own 
    be
    st 
    friend 

    Verse 6

    So 
    many 
    people 
    say, 

    it 
    will 
    never 
    work 
    out 
    that 
    way 

    You 
    can't 
    stand 
    the 
    heat 

    While 
    you're 
    watching 
    your 
    heart 

    Just 
    melt 
    away 
    in 
    the 
    basement 

    on 
    rainy 
    day 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 7
    There's 
    motel

    Don't 
    ask 
    me where, 
    please 

    They 
    check 
    in
    , they 
    check 
    out 

    By 
    the light 
    of the 
    color 
    T.V.s 

    The 
    maid 
    calls 
    you honey

    • 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.
