Tell Tale Signs chords by
Frank Turner
Frank Turner

N/A
Verse 1
Am
Em
F
G
Am

God dammit Amy,
Em

we're not kids any more.
F

You can't just keep waltzing

out of my life,
G
Am

Leaving clothes on my bedroom floor,

Like nothing really matters,
Em

like pain doesn't hurt.
F

You should be more to me by now
G
Am

than just heartbreak in a short skirt.
Verse 2
G

You kind of remind me of scars on my
C
F

arms that I made when I was a kid,
G

With a disassembled disposable
C
F

razor I stole from my dad,
G

When I thought that suffering was
C

something profound,
F
G

That weighed down on wise heads,

Dm

And not just something to be avoided,

F
G
Am

Something normal people dread.
Verse 3
Am

God dammit Amy,
Em

well of course I've changed.
F

With all the things I've done
G

and the places I've been
Am

I'd be a machine if I had

stayed the same.

But you're still back where we started,
Em

you haven't changed at all.
F
G

You're still trying to live like a kid,
Am

like you can always have it all.
Verse 4
G

You know you kind of remind me of scars
C
F

on my arms that I hid as best I could,
G

That I covered with ink, but in the
C
F

right kind of light they still bleed through,
G

Showing that there are some things I just can't
C
F
G

change no matter what I do:
Dm

The tell-tale signs signs of being used,
F
G
Am

Of being trapped inside of you.
Verse 5
G#dim
G
Bb

You're a beautiful butterfly
Am

Burned with a branding iron
Dm
Am
Dm

Onto my outsides into my insides
G
G#dim

As a simple sign:
G

To show off your ownership.
Bb
Am

Burned into my naked skin,
Dm
C
Dm

Onto my outsides into my insides.
Verse 6
Dm

It's not even love any more,
G
C

It's just a claim upon my soul.
F
Dm

It stains my skin,
G

yeah it's on my breath,
C

And I'm ashamed to get undressed
F
Dm

In front of strangers in case they see
G
C

The tell tale signs that you
F
Dm
D

have left all over me.
Verse 7
G

God dammit Amy.

You'll always remind me of scars on my
C
F

arms that I know will never fade.
G

And it's not like it's something I think
C
F
G

about each and every day -
C

I just occasionally catch myself scratching them,
F
G

as if they'd ever go away.
Dm

But these tell tale signs are here to stay,
F

and in the end you know that's OK.
Dm
F

You will al ways be a part of my patched-up
G

patchwork patchwork taped-up tape-deck heart.

heart.

heart.

  • 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.
