    Verse 1
    Well, 
    we 
    all 
    have 
    face 

    That 
    we 
    hide 
    away 
    forev
    er 

    And 
    we 
    take 
    them 
    out 

    And 
    show 
    ourselves 

    when 
    everyone 
    has 
    gone 

    Some 
    are 
    satin, 
    some 
    are 
    steel 

    Some 
    are 
    silk 
    and 
    some 
    are 
    leather 

    They're 
    the 
    faces 
    of 
    stranger 

    But 
    we'd 
    love 
    to 
    try 
    them 

    Interlude 1
    (on) 

    Verse 2
    Well, 
    we 
    all 
    fall 
    in 
    love 

    But 
    we 
    disregard 
    the 
    danger 

    Though 
    we 
    share 
    so 
    many 
    secrets 

    There 
    are 
    some 
    we 
    never 
    tell 

    Why 
    were 
    you 
    so 
    surprised 

    That 
    you 
    never 
    saw 
    the 
    stranger? 

    Did 
    you 
    ever 
    let 
    your 
    lover 

    See 
    the 
    stranger 
    in 
    your
    self? 

    Chorus 1
    Don't 
    be 
    a
    fraid 
    to 
    try 
    again 

    Everyone 
    goes 
    south 

    every 
    now 
    and 
    then, 
    ooh 

    You've 
    done 
    it 

    Why 
    can't 
    someone 
    else? 

    You 
    should 
    know 
    by 
    now 

    You've 
    been 
    there 
    your
    self 

    Verse 3
    Once 
    used 
    to 
    believe 

    was 
    such 
    great 
    romanc
    er 

    Then 
    came 
    home 
    to 
    woman 

    That 
    could 
    not 
    recognize 

    When 
    pressed 
    her 
    for 
    reason 

    She 
    refused 
    to 
    even 
    answer 

    It 
    was 
    then 
    felt 
    the 
    stranger 

    Kick 
    me 
    right 
    between 
    the 
    eyes 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 4
    Well, 
    we 
    all 
    fall 
    in 
    love 

    But 
    we 
    disregard 
    the 
    danger 

    Though 
    we 
    share 
    so 
    many 
    secrets 

    There 
    are 
    some 
    we 
    never 
    tell 

    Why 
    were 
    you 
    so 
    surprised 

    That 
    you 
    never 
    saw 
    the 
    stranger? 

    Did 
    you 
    ever 
    let 
    your 
    lover 

    See 
    the 
    stranger 
    in 
    your
    self? 

    Chorus 2
    Don't 
    be 
    a
    fraid 
    to 
    try 
    again 

    Everyone 
    goes 
    south 

    every 
    now 
    and 
    then, 
    ooh 

    You've 
    done 
    it 

    Why 
    can't 
    someone 
    else? 

    You 
    should 
    know 
    by 
    now 

    You've 
    been 
    there 
    your
    self 

    Verse 5
    You 
    may 
    never 
    understand 

    How 
    the 
    stranger 
    is 
    in
    spired 

    But 
    he 
    isn't 
    always 
    evil 

    And 
    he 
    is 
    not 
    always 
    wrong 

    Though 
    you 
    drown 
    in 
    good 
    intentions 

    You 
    will 
    never 
    quench 
    the 
    fire 

    You'll 
    give 
    in 
    to 
    your 
    desire 

    When 
    the 
    stranger 
    comes 
    along

    • 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.
