On summer nights the

stars fall a little slower,
C
G

I don't know if I can catch them in time

So words delicately to the

palm of my hand tell me
C
G

What am I worth?

Do you see words written in the air?

Or is it just me forming

pictures from nowhere?
Em
G

I have funny little comic books

taped to my hands
C
G

And a brain within a brain has got a mind of its own,
A
G
A
G

yeah


Rocket ships will take off

Whether you're in them or not
Em

And it's sad, but it's the truth
C
G

The world will still turn without you

But when your bones turn to earth

And you ask me what was I worth
Em
C

I'll simply plant a flower above you

I somberize,
G

my thoughts form a little bigger and
C
G

I don't know how to arrange

them or put them into words

Now I'm leaving bashful

teardrops in my hands
C
G
D

They tell me I'm a man
C
G

Do you think aliens in outer space
C
G

Think that they're the only human race
C

My mind's a house of magic,

heart's about

Would it be okay for me to stay?

If okay is here, then I'm far away

G

And the train's not leaving for a while

I packed my bags but they've

emptied themselves somehow
C

The thought of meeting something

just makes my brain

Twist and vert and fall down sideways

But my voice is a spark so let me sing

Until the fire is so bright, it's

  • 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.
