    Verse 1
    Why 
    do 
    you 
    treat 
    me 

    as 
    if 
    I 
    was only 
    a 
    friend? 

    What 
    have 
    I 
    done 

    that 
    has 
    made 
    you 
    so 
    distant 

    and 
    cold? 

    Sometimes 
    I 
    wonder 

    if 
    you'll 
    be 
    conten
    ted 
    again 

    Will 
    you 
    be 
    happy 

    when 
    you 
    are 
    weary 
    and 
    old 

    Can 
    you 
    get 
    weary 
    in 
    tired 
    love, 

    searching 
    for 
    a 
    goal? 

    When 
    you 
    get 
    lonely, 

    just 
    think 
    on 
    this 
    letter, 
    my 
    own 

    Now 
    don't 
    try 
    to 
    answer, 

    though 
    I 
    have 
    suffered 

    anguish 
    un
    told 

    But 
    if 
    you 
    don't 
    love 
    me, 

    then 
    I 
    wish 
    you 
    would 
    leave 
    me 
    alone 

    I 
    cannot 
    offer 
    you 
    diamonds 

    and 
    mansions 
    so 
    fine 

    I 
    cannot 
    offer 
    you 
    clothes 

    that 
    your 
    young 
    body 
    craves 

    But 
    if 
    you 
    say 

    that 
    you 
    long 
    to 
    forever 
    be 
    mine 

    I 
    think 
    of 
    the trouble, 
    the 
    tears, 

    and 
    the 
    heartache 
    you 
    say. 

    While 
    I'm 
    writing 
    this 
    letter, 

    I 
    think 
    of 
    the 
    pas
    t. 

    And 
    I 
    think 
    of 
    the 
    promises 

    that 
    you 
    are 
    breaking 
    so 
    free 

    And 
    to 
    this 
    cruel 
    world 

    I'll 
    soon 
    say 
    my 
    farewell 
    at 
    last 

    Oh, 
    I 
    will 
    be 
    gone 
    when 
    you 
    read 

    this 
    last 
    letter 
    from 
    me 

    While 
    I 
    am 
    writing 
    this 
    letter, 

    I 
    think 
    of 
    the 
    pas
    t. 

    And 
    I 
    think 
    of 
    the 
    promises 

    That 
    you 
    are 
    breaking 
    so 
    free 

    And 
    to 
    this 
    cruel 
    world 

    I'll 
    soon 
    say 
    my 
    farewell 

    at 
    last 

    I 
    will 
    be 
    gone 
    when 
    you 
    read 

    this 
    last 
    letter 
    from 
    me 

    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

      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.
