Verse 2
G
D
If there was something wrong
C

would you be oh so strong?

to move this hollow life along?
G
D
I'd like to think I would, you know
C
I'd like to think I would
G
But I guarantee
D
C
that what you see is not reality
G
D
And every time I make a point,

she makes a counterpoint

She said it's easy but in the end
C
G
you'll have no choice

And every time she makes a point
C
I'll make a counterpoint
G
D
She said It's easy but in the end
C
G
you'll have no choice
And you know
D
C
G
that's only just the way that it goes
You said it right man,

Verse 4
G
D
If I did something right
C
G
Would you give up this fight?
Would you say you were wrong
D
C
G
and maybe someone else was kind of right
I'd like to think you would
D
C
You know I'd like to think you would
G
But I can't guarantee
D
C
G
that what you get is an apology
D
C
Jump back to the day we met
G
D
C
I never thought that it would end this way
G
D
C
If ever I let you down I want to ask of you
G
D
To take it down a notch
C
G
and we can talk it on through
And the days, and the days
they seem like forever

She said It's easy but in the end

you'll have no choice

G
G
But it's not and you're shot
D
C

G
And you can't stop thinking
D

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.”
