    Verse 1
    All 
    the 
    leaves 

    on 
    the 
    giving 
    tree 
    have 
    fallen 

    No 
    shade 
    to 
    crawl 
    in 
    under
    neath 

    I've 
    got 
    scars 
    from 
    pocket 
    knife 

    Where 
    you 
    carved 

    your 
    heart 
    into 
    me 

    Chorus 1
    If 
    all 
    you 
    wanted 
    was 
    love 

    Why 
    would 
    you 
    use 
    me 
    up 

    Cut 
    me 
    down, 
    build 
    boat, 

    and 
    sail 
    a
    way 

    When 
    all 
    wanted 
    to 
    be 

    was 
    your 
    giving 
    tree 

    Settle 
    down, 
    build 
    home, 

    and 
    make 
    you 
    happy? 

    Verse 2
    lie 
    in 
    the 
    dead 
    of 
    night 
    and 
    wonder 

    Whose 
    covers 
    you're 
    be
    tween 

    And 
    it's 
    sad 
    laying 
    in 
    his 
    bed 

    You 
    feel 
    hollow, 

    so 
    you 
    crawl 
    home 
    back 
    to 
    me 

    Chorus 2
    If 
    all 
    you 
    wanted 
    was 
    love 

    Why 
    would 
    you 
    use 
    me 
    up 

    Cut 
    me 
    down, 
    build 
    boat, 

    and 
    sail 
    a
    way 

    When 
    all 
    wanted 
    to 
    be 

    was 
    your 
    giving 
    tree 

    Settle 
    down, 
    build 
    home, 

    and 
    make 
    you 
    happy? 

    Bridge 1
    Well, 
    see 
    trail 
    that 
    starts 

    line 
    of 
    broken 
    hearts 
    be
    hind 
    you 

    That 
    lead 
    you 
    back 
    to 
    me 

    The 
    once 
    sad 
    and 
    lonely 
    fool 

    With 
    nothing 
    left 
    but 
    roots 
    to 
    show, 
    oh 

    Chorus 3
    If 
    all 
    you 
    wanted 
    was 
    love 

    Why 
    would 
    you 
    use 
    me 
    up 

    Cut 
    me 
    down, 
    build 
    boat, 

    and 
    sail 
    a
    way 

    When 
    all 
    wanted 
    to 
    be 

    was 
    your 
    giving 
    tree 

    Settle 
    down,

    you 
    happy?

    Settle 
    down, 
    build 
    home, 

    and 
    make 
    you 
    happy?

    • 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.
