    Verse 1
    Well 
    this 
    is 
    just 
    simple 
    song 

    To 
    say 
    what 
    you 
    done 

    told 
    you 
    about 
    all 
    those 
    fears 

    And 
    away 
    they 
    did 
    run 

    You 
    sure 
    must 
    be 
    strong 

    And 
    you 
    feel 
    like 
    an 
    ocean 

    Being 
    warmed 
    by 
    the 
    sun 

    Verse 2
    When 
    was 
    just 
    nine 
    years 
    old 

    swear 
    that 
    dreamed 

    Your 
    face 
    on 
    football 
    field 

    And 
    kiss 
    that 
    kept 

    Un
    der 
    my 
    vest 

    Apart 
    from 
    everything 


    But 
    the 
    heart 
    in 
    my 
    chest 

    Chorus 1
    know 
    that 
    things 
    can 
    really 
    get 
    rough 

    when 
    you 
    go 
    it 
    alone 

    Don't 
    go 
    thinking 
    you 
    gotta 
    be 
    tough, 

    to 
    play 
    like 
    stone 

    Could 
    be 
    there's 
    nothing 
    else 

    in 
    our 
    lives 
    so 
    cri
    ti
    cal 

    As 
    this 
    lit
    tle 
    hole 

    Verse 3
    My 
    life 
    in 
    an 
    up
    turned 
    boat, 

    marooned 
    on 
    cliff 

    You 
    brought 
    me 
    great 
    big 
    flood 

    And 
    you 
    gave 
    me 
    lift 

    To 
    care, 
    what 
    gift 

    You 
    tell 
    me 
    with 
    your 
    tongue 

    And 
    your 
    breath 
    was 
    in 
    my 
    lungs 

    Chorus 2
    And 
    you 
    float 
    over 
    the 

    (rift) 
    know 
    that 
    things 
    can 
    really 
    get 
    rough 

    when 
    you 
    go 
    it 
    alone 

    Don't 
    go 
    thinking 
    you 
    gotta 
    be 
    tough, 

    to 
    play 
    like 
    stone 

    Could 
    be 
    there's 
    nothing

    • 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.
