    Verse 1
    Yeah, 
    I've 
    had 
    my 
    share 
    of 
    bro
    ken 
    dreams 

    And 
    more 
    than 
    couple 
    of 
    falls 

    And 
    in 
    chasin' 

    what 
    thought 
    were 
    moon
    beams 

    have 
    run 
    into 
    couple 
    of 
    walls 

    Chorus 1
    But 
    in 
    looking 
    back 
    at 
    the 
    places 
    I've 
    been 

    The 
    chan
    ges 
    that 
    I've 
    left 
    behind 

    just 
    look 
    at 
    myself 
    to 
    find 

    I've 
    learned 
    the 
    hard 
    way 
    every 
    time 

    Verse 2
    'Cause 
    I've 
    had 
    my 
    share 
    of 
    good 
    in
    ten
    tions 

    And 
    I've 
    made 
    my 
    share 
    of 
    mistakes 

    And 
    I've 
    learned 

    at 
    times 
    it's 
    best 
    to 
    bend 

    'Cause 
    if 
    you 
    don't 
    well 

    those 
    are 
    the 
    breaks 

    Chorus 2
    Should 
    have 
    listened 
    to 

    all 
    the 
    things 
    was 
    told 

    But 
    was 
    young 
    and 
    too 
    proud 
    at 
    the 
    time 

    Now 
    look 
    at 
    myself 
    to 
    find 

    learn 
    the 
    hard 
    way 
    ev'ry 
    time

    at 
    the 
    lessons 
    I've 
    learned 

    And 
    the 
    moun
    tains 
    wanted 
    to 
    climb 

    just 
    look 
    at 
    myself 
    to 
    find 

    learned 
    the 
    hard 
    way 
    ev'ry 
    time 

    Verse 3

    it 
    any 
    other 
    way

    • 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.
