Verse 1
A

People say They're

jealous of me
G

Asking all the time how I can be so lucky
A

And how they wish they'd

never kissed

The single life goodbye

And why
G

They struggle every day

To keep from straying
A

They want my life
E

They call and me a crafty little devil
G

They think I've got it made
A

That my streets are

paved and golden
F#m
G

And I bath in sun rays every

A


When you sleep

You sleep alone
G

And you can roll right to the

centre of the bed
A

And you don't have to have strength

For anybody else
G

And you never have to shout

To defend yourself
A
E

You can eat cake and even ice cream
G

And you can stay out really late
A

And you can bring home someone
F#m
A

To make you feel special
G

But it's for a few hours

Then they go away

my life for me

Don't obsess
E

But I'm looking real hard

It's a spice that I'm missing

From the ingredients
E

I got freedom

And the money that I work for every day
A

Could buy me a colour
E

But it won't buy me a body

I can feel the language

The language of love

That's so universal

Everybody gets to speak it

When they fall in love

That's the end of lonely nights

And
E

Single life

  • 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.
