    Verse 1
    take 
    walk 
    on the Seine 

    Cross 
    Pont 
    Neuf 
    on 
    my way 

    to St. 
    Ger
    main 

    Love- 
    hearts 
    on 
    padlocks 

    on 
    wire 
    in 
    the 
    mist 

    Where 
    young 
    lov
    ers 
    kiss 

    and 
    swear 
    to 
    be 
    true 

    Echoes 
    of 
    ten 
    thousand 
    sighs 
    of 
    love 

    And yet 
    feel 
    only 
    the 
    absence 
    of you 

    Out 
    of 
    a window 
    Verse 2
    on the 
    thirtieth 
    floor 

    Central 
    Park 
    shines 
    with the 

    coming 
    of 
    dawn 

    Through 
    eyes 
    rendered 

    weary 
    by 
    jetlag and 
    wine 

    turn 
    'round 
    to find, 

    there's 
    girl 
    in my 
    room 

    For 
    moment 
    we 
    kiss 
    but her 

    vodka- 
    soaked 
    lips 

    Taste 
    only 
    of 
    the absence 
    of you 

    Verse 3
    don't 
    know 

    What 
    all 
    of this 
    means 

    If 
    you 
    are 
    not 
    here 
    with 
    me 

    And 
    am 
    lost 

    When 
    we 
    are 
    apart 

    There's a 
    hole 
    in 
    my 
    heart 

    That 
    light 
    passes 
    through 

    And the 
    pattern 
    it cre
    ates 

    Is 
    the 
    shape 
    of 
    the 
    absence 
    of 
    you 

    Verse 4

    Spring 
    has 
    been 
    found 
    hanging 

    'round 
    Soho 
    Square 

    So I'll 
    take 
    my 
    coffee 

    and newspaper 
    there 

    To 
    bask 
    in the 
    not- 
    warm- 
    enough 
    April 
    sun 

    With the 
    workers 
    who 
    come 
    to 
    eat 

    Pret 
    with no 
    shoes 

    But the 
    grass 
    to the 
    side 
    of the 

    patch 
    where 
    I'm 
    lying 

    Is 
    flat 
    with the 
    absence 
    of you 

    Verse 5
    don't 
    know 

    What 
    all 
    this 
    is 
    for 

    If 
    you 
    are 
    not 
    near 
    to 
    me 

    And 
    can't 
    sleep 

    Sleep 
    is no 
    fun 
    when the 

    unruly 
    sun 

    Will reveal 
    the 
    truth 

    space 
    in 
    my 
    bed 
    as 
    cold 
    as 
    the 
    dead 

    Ex
    actly 
    the size 
    and 
    the shape 
    of 

    the ab
    sence 
    of 
    you 

    Verse 6

    And all 
    of 
    this beau
    ty 
    runs 
    over 

    and 
    through 
    me 

    And pools 
    'round 
    my shoes 

    And 
    the puddle 
    it 
    forms 

    Conforms 
    to 
    the 
    shape 
    of 

    The 
    absence 
    of you

    • 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.
