    Put 
    on 
    my 
    be
    st

    wanted 
    to 
    impress 

    put 
    little 
    make-up 
    on 

    on 

    Put 
    a bow 
    in 
    my

    wore 
    pretty 
    un
    derwear 

    Hoping 
    you 
    might 
    take 
    it off 

    Don't 
    know 
    your 
    etiquette 

    But 
    I'm 
    strapped 
    to 
    my 
    chair 

    And 
    it 
    ain't

    were 
    charming,

    to 
    make 
    history

    You went 
    straight 
    for 
    the knife

    die 

    Your

    Looked me 
    straight 
    in 
    the eye 

    You 
    turned 
    the 
    gas 
    on 
    high 

    Held 
    the 
    flame 
    alight 

    You 
    wonder 
    why 

    I'm 
    scared 
    of 
    fire 

    You 
    wonder 
    why 
    you 
    make 
    girls 
    cry 

    Verse 3

    My

    a mess, 

    harsh 
    word
    s for 
    your 
    princess 

    Boy, 
    you 
    and 
    your

    If your 
    goal 
    was 
    to love, 

    you 
    scored 
    an 
    epic 
    miss

    you'll 
    just 
    have 
    memor

    Verse 4
    You went 
    straight

    it 
    shines 

    Looked me

    in 
    the 
    eye

    turned 
    the 
    gas 
    on 
    high 

    Held 
    the 
    flame 
    alight 

    You 
    wonder 
    why 

    I'm 
    scared 
    of 
    fire 

    You 
    wonder 
    why 
    you 
    make 
    girls 
    cry 

    Verse 5

    Boy, 
    you 
    draw 
    me 
    back 
    in

    I'm 
    hungry 
    for 
    your 

    bad 
    lov
    ing 

    But 
    will 
    someone 
    find 
    me 
    swinging

    the 
    rafter

    From hanging 
    on 
    your 
    every 
    word

    You 
    went straight 
    for 
    the knife 

    And I 
    pre

    die 

    Your 
    blade 
    it 
    shines 

    Looked 
    me straight 
    in the 
    eye 

    You 
    turned 
    the

    on 
    high 

    Held 
    the 
    flame 
    alight 

    You 
    wonder 
    why 

    I'm 
    scared 
    of fire 

    You 
    wonder 
    why 
    you 
    make 
    girls 
    cry 

    Verse 7

    • 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.
