    G

    Hi, how are you?
    A
    G

    Every morning he got up

    Dreading each moment

    he had to be awake
    A

    He'd look at the floor, scribble
    G

    on gum wrappers
    A

    He never found a better way
    G

    to joke around

    The clock would tick and

    time would slow

    There wasn't anywhere he wouldn't go

    To avoid having to see

    anyone

    He'd sit in a chair and lean against a wall
    A

    But that didn't seem to matter
    G

    much at all

    But late at night he had a savior
    F

    In his sleep, in his dreams
    G
    A
    G

    She came to him and she said

    "Poor you, poor you
    A
    D

    No one understands you
    G

    Poor you, poor you"
    A

    And every word that

    everyone would say
    Bb
    G

    Got mumbled up in his head
    A
    F
    G

    Like mumble- jumble and everywhere he went

    It seemed like everyone was

    saying to him,
    A
    D

    "Blah blah blah"
    G
    C
    G

    But late at night, he had a mistress
    C
    G

    In his dreams, in his sleep
    A
    G

    And she would say "poor you,

    poor you"
    A
    C

    No one understands you
    G

    Poor you"
    A
    G

    This story, though, not well told

    Is not that old

    It's not that funny, it's not that great
    A
    G

    But I know it to be true
    C

    Because late at night, I have an angel
    F
    Bm
    C
    G

    In my dreams, in my sleep
    B
    C

    And as she runs her
    G

    fingers through my hair
    Bb
    G

    As I lay on her lap

    And she says, "poor you, poor you
    A
    D
    G

    No one understands you, poor you
    D

    Poor 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.
