Intro 1
D
F#m

Verse 1
D

He sits low, in a shady grove

Where the trees arc slow,
F#m

in the shape of 'you know'

Marble stairwells, waterfalls,

egrets' heads and open arms
D

Whistling through his pensive teeth,

the scene is set to peak
Bm

Like how the desert meets the reef
G

And steals the heart, of the thief
Verse 2
D

She walks slow, past the reach of home

In a Western World,

far from the things she knows
F#m

Hanging gardens, patterned walls,

the books of Rilke, orchestras
D

Motioning to the slow refrain,

the soul is set to gain
Bm

Or swallow it whole
G

The causal chain, of human loam
Verse 3
D

And as seasons go, it's a lot like this

He reasons for a look, then a glance
F#m

To the path, where she passed

From the page of a book, to

a perch in the grass
D

And as meetings go, it's a lot like this

She tiptoes from the path,
Bm

to the edge of the page

Where she dared, to be asked
G

What's in a name?
A

What is your name?
Verse 4
A
Bm

And if you let me know
G
D

I won't be alone, I won't be alone
A

And if you have the time
G
Bm

to talk to
G
D
A

I won't doubt you
G
Bm

And if I let you know
G
D

I won't be alone, I won't be alone
A
D
Bm

And if you, as if you start to fall
G
D

I'll be here to catch you
Verse 5
D

Turning around, he sighs,
F#m

"will you sit next to me?"

Motioning forward, she replies,
D

"will you walk next to me?"

"I know my lines,

and there's a lot less space and a little bit of time"
Bm
G

"I know the play, it's fine"
D

Echoing herself, she says,

"will you walk close to me?"
F#m

Holding his smile, he replies,
D

"what more would you ask of me?"

"I know my mind,

and there's a lot less space and a little bit of time"
Bm
G
A

"I know the way, it's fine"

And if you let me know

And if you have the time to talk

to

I won't doubt you

And if I let you know

I won't be alone, I won't be alone

I'll be here to catch you

Verse 7
D

He's wasting time,
F#m

you gotta take it slowly
Bm
D

May never get a chance like this

And she knows he's wasting time
Bm

And she loves the way he tries
G
D

Even though she knows the lines

She's taking time,
F#m

you gotta let things grow

May never have a chance
Bm
D

like this

And he knows she takes her time

And he keeps along her side
Bm
G

All hopes to keep along her side
Verse 8
D

As seasons go, it's a lot like this

He reasons for a look, then a glance
F#m

To the path, where she passed

From the page of a book,
Bm

to a perch in the grass
D

And as meetings go, it's a lot like this

She tiptoes from the path,
Bm

to the edge of the page

Where she dared, to be asked
G

What's in a name?
D

What is your name?

  • 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.
