Verse 1
A

The stars are out tonight
Em

The breeze is warm and light
G
D
A

As I'm walking right back to you

Along the dreaming road,
Em
G

the only way to go
D

When I'm traveling by our code,
A

that north is true

Once upon a time these same
Em
G

bright stars did shine
D
A

Down the center line leading here

Nearly thirty years ago
Em
A

Now the map is stained and old
D
A

But on the dreaming road the coast is clear

G
A
Bm

I loved you more than life and I guess
G
A

that's why I died
Bm
G
A

When you would not love me back,
G
A
G

I couldn't survive
A

And so the girl I was turned
Bm
G

into someone else
A
D

Keeping to myself an
A

d from the light

I wasn't odd or strange,
Bm
G

just quietly re arranged
A
D

Sometimes the biggest change stays
A

out of sight

Verse 2
A

Em
G

So without plot or clue I ran away from you
A
D

I was twenty- two and
A

drunk in Amsterdam

Got robbed in Paris, France
Bm
G

Got home on one last chance
A
D

And without a backward glance
A

I began again

And the days just kept on rolling

and I just kept on going
D

Without a thought of ever
A

slowing down

I made this long road mine
G

But it was not the dreaming kind
D
A

Too many lost souls trying to get found
Bm
G
A

But beneath this ancient sky
Bm
G
A

One night we did collide
G

And the hole I thought was
A
D
G

sealed opened wide
A
G
A

I tried so hard again
G

not to fall back in
D
Asus4

But you had me then by the throat
A

And a strange serenity
G

came washing over me
A
D

Almost peacefully I felt the rope

Verse 3
A

A million miles goes by in
Em
G

the blink of an eye
A
D
A

And so I cannot try to slow time down

And years are made of sand
Em

slipping through my hands
A
D

Even faster than the speed
A

of sound

The stars are out tonight
Em
G

The breeze is soft and light
D
A

As I'm walking right back to you

With nothing left to hide,
Bm
G

the tears have all been cried
A
D

And the girl who died is
A
Asus4

walking too
A

Down the dreaming road,
G

where the light is always gold
D
A

The air is never cold and always fine

And north is always true and
Bm
G

you are always you
D
A

And I'm that girl you knew once upon a time

  • 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.
