Verse 1
G
D
I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
C
But I knew that it would come
G
An old true friend of ours
D
was talkin' on the phone
C
She said you found someone
Pre-chorus 1
D
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And the struggles we went through
C
And how I lost me and you lost you
D
What are these voices
outside love's open door
C
Make us throw off our contentment
D
And beg for something more?
Chorus 1
G
Am
G
I'm learning to live without you now
C
But I miss you sometimes
D
Em
The more I know, the less I understand
C
All the things I thought I knew,
D
I'm learning again
G
I've been trying to get down
Am
to the Heart of the Matter
G
But my will gets weak
C
And my thoughts seem to scatter
D
But I think it's about forgiveness
Em
Forgiveness
C
D
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

Verse 2
G
Oh these times are so uncertain
D
There's a yearning undefined
C
And people filled with rage
G
We all need a little tenderness
D
How can love survive
C
in such a graceless age
Pre-chorus 2
D
The trust and self-assurance
that lead to happiness
C
They're the very things we kill, I guess
D
Pride and competition
cannot fill these empty arms
C
And the work I put between us,
D
You know it doesn't keep me warm
Chorus 2
G
Am
G
I'm learning to live without you now
C
But I miss you, baby
D
Em
The more I know, the less I understand
C
All the things I thought I figured out,
D
I have to learn again
G
I've been trying to get down
Am
to the Heart of the Matter
G
But everything changes
C
And my friends seem to scatter
D
But I think it's about forgiveness
Em
Forgiveness
C
D
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

Bridge 1
F
There are people in your life
C
who've come and gone
Dm
They let you down,
C
you know they hurt your pride
F
You better put it all behind you, baby,
C
'cause life goes on
D
You keep carrying that anger,
Chorus 3
it'll eat you up inside, baby
G
I've been trying to get down
Am
to the Heart of the Matter
G
But my will gets weak
C
And my thoughts seem to scatter
D
But I think it's about forgiveness
Em
Forgiveness
C
D
Even if, even if you don't love me
G
I've been trying to get down
Am
to the Heart of the Matter
G
Because the flesh will get weak
C
And the ashes will scatter
D
So I'm thinking about forgiveness
Em
Forgiveness
C
D
Even if, even if you don't love me

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
