    F#m
    D

    I know it's a simple story

    But where you gonna hear another

    one just like this?

    Another minute passing,

    waiting 'round for something to hit...

    And then I start to exist,
    G

    when you were looking for me

    Why'd I have to leave and make
    D

    you thought I'd run?

    Maybe I need to be on something

    To figure out just what all this means to me
    Bm

    I should have played

    her something
    F#m

    Shoulda said something then

    But it's too late
    G

    I know it's a simple story
    A

    Gonna have to be a man someday
    D
    Let's start a vicious
    Verse 2

    cycle

    Let me off the leash and watch

    me run in the grass

    But then I disappear and I show

    up a few days later

    With my foot in a trap
    G

    But it's only my heart

    that's bleeding

    I'm howling at the moon just hoping
    D

    someone understands

    That I only came into season when

    I smelled the blood on the wind

    And heard the beat of the band
    Bm
    F#m

    I know I give no reason to give

    me something old

    Or give me something new
    G

    Why do I even need this?
    A

    Gonna have to do what I need to
    Verse 3
    D

    Just like a teenage summer

    The sun beats down and cracks

    the flags left and right

    But it's not just the heat

    My body and my head are full of things

    that keep me up on a night
    G

    Like it's only time and distance

    You're in a black box and I can't
    D

    even wait outside

    You'll just have to tell me about it

    Gonna have to sleep
    A

    It's too light...
    Verse 4
    A

    D

    Let's start a vicious cycle

    Let me off the leash and watch

    me run in the grass

    But then I disappear and I show

    up a few days later

    With my foot in a trap
    G

    But it's only my heart

    that's bleeding

    I'm howling at the moon just hoping
    D

    someone understands

    That I only came into season when I

    smelled the blood on the wind

    And heard the beat of the band
    Bm

    I know it's just a feeling
    A

    Shouldn't even have
    F#m

    these thoughts

    • 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.
