    Verse 1
    The 
    river's 
    too 

    wide 
    now 
    for 
    crossin' 

    The 
    water 
    rush 
    too 
    loud 
    for 
    talkin' 

    We 
    never 
    built 
    bridges 
    for 
    walkin' 

    Now 
    the 
    river's 
    too 
    wide 

    A 
    gentle 
    stream 
    once 

    flowed 
    between 
    us 

    But 
    love 
    could 
    cross 
    it 
    easily 

    Till 
    stormy 
    skies 
    brought 
    bitter 
    teardrops 

    And 
    made 
    that 
    stream 
    a 
    raging 
    river 

    Come 
    between 
    you 
    and 
    me 

    The 
    river's 
    too 
    wide 
    now 
    for 
    crossing 

    The 
    water 
    rush 
    too 
    loud 
    for 
    talking 

    We 
    never 
    built 
    bridges 
    for 
    walking 

    There's 
    no 
    getting 
    to 
    the 
    other 
    side 

    The 
    river's 
    too 
    wide 
    now 
    for 
    crossing 

    The 
    hurtin' 
    goes 
    too 
    deep 
    for 
    mending 

    It 
    looks 
    like 
    an 
    unhappy 
    ending 

    Cause 
    the 
    river's 
    too 
    wide 


    Good 
    lessons 
    learned 
    are 
    not 
    forgot
    ten 

    We 
    gave 
    up 
    love 
    to 
    save 
    our 
    pride 

    Next 
    time 
    I'm 
    faced 
    with 
    rising 
    wa
    ters 

    I'll 
    build 
    a 
    bridge 
    of 
    loving 
    kind
    ness 

    Reach
    ing 
    to 
    the 
    other 
    side 

    And 
    the 
    river's 
    too 
    wide 
    now 
    for 
    crossing 

    The 
    water 
    rush 
    is 
    too 
    loud 
    for 
    talking 

    We 
    never 
    built 
    bridges 
    for 
    walking 

    There's 
    no 
    getting 
    to 
    the 
    other 
    side 

    The 
    river's 
    too 
    wide 
    now 
    for 
    crossin' 

    The 
    hurtin' 
    goes 
    too 
    deep 
    for 
    mendin' 

    It 
    looks 
    like 
    an 
    un
    happy 
    endin' 

    Cause 
    the 
    river's 
    too 
    wide

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
