    F

    Verse 1
    C

    I knew a guy,
    F

    I thought he was my first love
    C
    F

    But he had to decide between

    me and the one before
    C

    And she stacked it all up,
    F

    like a house of cards
    G
    C

    Said if he didn't come back,
    F

    he'd find her flattened on the floor
    G
    And though I went
    Verse 2
    Dm

    and lived

    in my own hell
    F

    Thought that I could die as well
    Dm

    I let him go where he thought
    F

    he had to go
    Verse 3
    C
    F

    'Cause I never took heavy

    words for granted
    C
    F

    And I never took undeserved advantage
    Am
    F

    No, I never took the easy way
    Am
    Dm

    So why don't you take it

    a little easy on me now?
    F

    Verse 4
    C
    F

    Out on the road, I had so many questions
    C

    I thought I would explode
    F

    just for some attention
    C

    Like an acolyte,
    F

    I saw the flames of towering tapers
    C

    Almost proselytized by
    F

    those gleaming piles of paper
    Dm
    Yeah, I watched
    Verse 5

    the power huddles
    F

    And their coats draped over puddles
    Dm

    And their trust me, baby,
    F

    I'm the one you need
    Verse 6
    C
    F

    But I never took heavy words for granted
    C
    F

    And I never took undeserved advantage
    Am
    F

    No, I never took the easy way
    Dm

    So why don't you take it a little

    easy on me now?
    F
    Verse 7

    Am

    'Cause we don't want to be the ones
    Dm
    C

    To lie and cheat and slander
    Am

    So we hold each other up to
    Dm
    G
    C

    the higher standard
    Am

    But I'll tell you what,
    Dm
    G
    C

    I'll never try to make it hard
    Dm

    ?Cause when you're hard

    just to be hard
    F

    The only thing that's hard is you
    Verse 8
    C

    So here's what I took,
    F

    I kept the wine and laughter
    C

    Until every path just grew
    F

    up and ever after
    Dm

    Through the peaks and twisty canyons
    F

    I made many great companions
    Dm

    Best of all is the one who loves
    F

    me like you do
    Verse 9
    C
    F

    'Cause I never took heavy

    words for granted
    C
    F

    And I never took undeserved advantage
    Am
    F

    No, I never took the easy way
    Dm

    So why don't you take it a little
    F

    easy on me now?
    Verse 10
    C
    F

    'Cause I never took heavy

    words for granted
    C
    F

    And it's much too late to even

    want the shortcut
    Am
    F

    Yeah, I never took the easy way
    Dm

    So you can take it a little
    F

    easy on me now
    Dm

    'Cause we know that easy's
    F

    never easy anyhow
    C

    • 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.
