  • Verse 1
    If 

    it's just 
    to top 
    a song 
    chart 

    To 
    feed 
    the kids 
    and get 
    bigger 
    car 

    The 
    skies 
    already 
    got 
    enough 
    stars 

    And they 
    all sing 
    Your name 

    Verse 2
    And if 
    I'm here 
    to write 
    a number 
    one 

    To 
    get 
    a gold 
    or maybe 
    platinum 

    Make 
    me 
    singer 
    who 
    is unsung 

    'Cause 
    You 
    won't share 
    your fame 

    Verse 3
    'Cause 
    even 
    accolades someday 

    will 
    fade 
    away 

    Oh, 
    just 
    like 
    me 

    Yes, 
    everything 
    but 
    You, 
    yeah 

    And many 
    years 
    from now 

    it won't mat
    ter how 

    I write 
    the 
    rhymes 
    do, 
    yeah 

    Help 
    me get 
    back 
    to 
    the 
    reason 

    I sing 
    for 
    You 

    I'm always 
    looking 
    for 
    Verse 4
    the limelight 

    To dim my 
    house 
    and make 

    the 
    stages 
    bright 

    Compared 
    to 
    You 
    I'm just 

    night 
    light 

    Against 
    the blazing 
    sun

    Verse 5
    I enter 
    rooms 
    and hope 
    they notice 
    me 

    To 
    fill my 
    social 
    in
    securities 

    I'm 
    asking 
    if 
    there's any 

    hope 
    for me 

    'Cause 
    there is 
    room 

    for only 
    one 

    Verse 6
    'Cause even 
    accolades someday 

    will 
    fade 
    away 

    Oh, 
    just 
    like 
    me 

    Yes, 
    everything 
    but You, 
    yeah 

    And many 
    years 
    from now 

    it won't mat
    ter how 

    write 
    the rhymes 
    do, 
    yeah 

    Help 
    me get 
    back 
    to 
    the 

    reason 
    I sing 
    for 
    You 

    Verse 7
    Why 
    are we so 
    con
    vinced 

    a bigger 
    audience 

    Is simply 
    common 
    sense 
    to 
    have? 

    Maybe 
    success 
    is 
    meas
    ured best 

    By nothing 
    less 
    than our 
    obedience 


    Verse 8

    So 
    if 
    I'm destined 
    for 
    a small 
    stage 

    The 
    small 
    crowds 
    and 
    the 
    small 
    pay 

    Then 
    maybe 
    even 
    in 
    small 
    way 

    I can 
    bring 
    You fame 

    Verse 9
    'Cause even 
    accolades someday 

    will 
    fade 
    away 

    Oh, 
    just 
    like 
    me 

    Yes, 
    everything 
    but You, 
    yeah 

    And 
    many 
    years 
    from now 

    it won't mat
    ter how 

    write 
    the 
    rhymes 
    do, 
    yeah 

    Help 
    me get 
    back 
    to the 

    reason 
    I sing 
    for 
    You 

    Verse 10
    Help 
    me get 
    back 
    to the 
    reason 
    I sing 
    for 
    You

    • 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.
