    Verse 1
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    Once upon a midnight eerie
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    I woke with something in my head
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    I couldn't escape the memory
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    Of a phone call and of what you said
    G
    C

    Like a game show contestant
    Am
    D

    with a parting gift
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    I could not believe my eyes
    G
    C

    When I saw through the thoughts
    Am
    D

    of a trusted friend
    G

    Who needs to humor me
    C
    Am
    D

    and tell me lies, yeah
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    Humor me and tell me lies
    Pre-chorus 1
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    And I'll lie too and say I don't mind
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    And as we seek so shall we find
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    But not without a certain degree of fear
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    Well, what will be with you and me
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    I still can see things hopefully
    Chorus 1
    G
    C
    Am

    But you
    D
    G
    C
    Am

    Why you wanna give me a run-around?
    D
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    Is it sure-fire way to speed things up?
    G
    C
    Am
    D
    G

    When all it does is slow me down
    C
    Am
    D

    Verse 2
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    Shake me and my confidence
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    About a great many things
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    But I've been there I can see it cower
    G
    C

    Like a nervous magician
    Am
    D

    waiting in the wings
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    Of a bad play where the heroes are right
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    And nobody thinks or expects too much
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    Singing "Hey babe, let's keep in touch",
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    hey baby, let's keep in touch
    Pre-chorus 2
    G
    C

    But I want more than a touch
    Am
    D

    I want you to reach me
    G
    C

    And show me all the things
    Am
    D

    no one else can see
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    So what you feel becomes mine as well
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    What's yours and mine, the fishing's fine
    G
    C

    And it doesn't have to rhyme,
    Am
    D

    so don't you feed me a line
    Chorus 2
    G
    C
    Am

    But you
    D
    G
    C
    Am

    Why you wanna give me a run-around?
    D
    G
    C
    Am

    Bombardier this is the pilot speaking
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    And I've got some news for you
    G
    C

    It seems my ship still stands
    Am
    D

    no matter what you drop
    G

    And there ain't a whole lot
    C
    Am
    D

    that you can do
    Verse 3
    G
    C

    Oh sure the banner may be torn
    Am
    D

    and the wind's gotten colder
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    But I know no matter what the waitress brings
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    I shall drink it and always be full, yeah
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    I will drink it and always be full
    Verse 4
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    Oh I like coffee and I like tea
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    I still got this dream that you just can't shake
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    I love you to the point you can no longer take
    G
    C
    Am
    D

    Well all right okay, so be that way
    G
    C

    I hope and pray
    Am
    D

    that there's something left to say

    • 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.
