    • Verse 1
    I 
    never 
    held 
    your 
    gaze 

    I 
    never 
    know 
    my 
    place 

    Oh, I 
    stare 
    at 
    the 
    eyes 

    Starin' 
    at 
    my 
    face 

    It 
    always 
    ends 
    in 
    a tie 

    There 
    is 
    no 
    needing 
    the 
    di
    vine 

    I 
    cry 
    at 
    the joke 
    ex
    plained 

    Verse 2

    Oh, 
    but 
    if 
    I 
    had 
    known, 
    if 
    I had 
    known 

    If 
    I 
    had 
    known, 
    I 
    would've 
    never 
    believed 

    Verse 3
    I 
    never 
    smoked 
    my 
    chains 

    Whoever 
    measures 
    the 
    crest 

    Oh, they 
    can 
    have 
    my 
    broken 
    chest 

    It's 
    a staring 
    con
    test 

    In 
    a hall 
    of 
    mirrors 

    I 
    sweat 
    tears, 
    but 
    I 
    don't 
    ever 
    cry 

    Verse 4

    Oh, 
    but if 
    I 
    had 
    known, 
    if 
    I had 
    known 

    If 
    I 
    had 
    known, 
    I would've 
    never 
    believed

    noose 

    My pair 
    perished 
    in 
    the pews 

    I 
    climbed 
    back 
    into 
    the 
    yoke 

    It 
    always 
    ends 
    in 
    a tie 

    There 
    is 
    no 
    hitting

    I 
    cry 
    at 
    the 
    joke

      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.

      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

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
