    Woah, 
    oh, 
    oh, 
    oh 

    For 
    the 
    longest 
    time 

    Woah, 
    oh, 
    oh 

    For 
    the 
    longest 

    Verse 1
    If 
    you 
    said 
    good
    bye 
    to 
    me 
    to
    night 

    There 
    would 
    still 
    be 
    music 
    left 
    to 
    write 

    What 
    else 
    could 
    do 

    I'm 
    so 
    ins
    pired 
    by 
    you 

    That 
    hasn't 
    happened 
    for 
    the 
    longest 
    time 

    Verse 2
    Once 
    thought 
    my 

    innocence 
    was 
    gone 

    Now 
    know 
    that 
    happiness 
    goes 
    on 

    That's 
    where 
    you 
    found 
    me 

    When 
    you 
    put 
    your 
    arms 
    around 
    me 

    haven't 
    been 
    there 
    for 
    the 
    longest 
    time 

    Interlude 1
    Woah, 
    oh, 
    oh, 
    oh 

    For 
    the 
    longest 
    time 

    Woah, 
    oh, 
    oh 

    For 
    the 
    longest 

    Verse 3
    I'm 
    that 
    voice 
    you're 

    hearing 
    in 
    the 
    hall 

    And 
    the 
    great
    est 
    miracle 
    of 
    all 

    Is 
    how 
    need 
    you 

    And 
    how 
    you 
    needed 
    me 
    too 

    That 
    hasn't 
    happened 
    for 
    the 
    longest 
    time 

    Bridge 1
    Maybe 
    this 
    won't 
    last 
    very 
    long 

    But 
    you 
    feel 
    so 
    right 
    could 
    be 
    wrong 

    Maybe 
    I've 
    been 
    hoping 
    too 
    hard 

    But 
    I've 
    gone 
    this 
    far 

    And 
    it's 
    more 
    than 
    hoped 
    for 

    Verse 4
    Who 
    knows 
    how 
    much 
    further 
    we'll 
    go 
    on 

    May
    be 
    I'll 
    be 
    sorry 
    when 
    you're 
    gone 

    I'll 
    take 
    my 
    chances 

    forgot 
    how 
    nice 
    romance 
    is 

    haven't 
    been 
    there 
    for 
    the 
    longest 
    time 

    Bridge 2
    had 
    second 
    thoughts 
    at 
    the 
    start 

    said 
    to 
    myself 

    Hold 
    on 
    to 
    your 
    heart 

    Now 
    know 
    the 
    woman 
    that 
    you 
    are 

    You're 
    wonderful 
    so 
    far 

    And 
    it's 
    more 
    than 
    hoped 
    for 

    Verse 5
    don't 
    care 
    what 

    consequence 
    it 
    brings 

    have 
    been 
    fool 
    for 
    lesser 
    things 

    want 
    you 
    so 
    bad 

    think 
    you 
    ought 
    to 
    know 
    that 

    intend 
    to 
    hold 
    you 
    for 
    the 
    longest 
    time 

    Outro 1
    Woah, 
    oh, 
    oh, 
    oh 

    For 
    the 
    longest 
    time 

    Woah, 
    oh, 
    oh 

    For 
    the 
    longest 
    time

    • 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.
