    Verse 1
    When 
    I was 
    a young 
    man, 

    I never 
    needed 
    anyone 

    Bruised 
    and 
    broken, 
    shattered, 

    always 
    on 
    the 
    run

    Safe 
    behind 
    a half-smile, 

    layin' 
    in 
    in the 
    shadows 

    became 
    a rich 
    man, 

    held 
    the world 
    up 
    with my 
    hands 

    Inside 
    I was 
    a poor 
    man, 
    still 
    screaming, 

    "I 
    don't 
    understand" 

    "Why am 
    I always 
    running?" 

    "Why am 
    I always 
    hiding?" 

    "What's 
    the point 
    in 
    living 

    when living 
    feels 
    like 
    dying?" 

    You 
    can build 
    your 
    Verse 2
    walls, 

    love 
    will tear 
    it down 

    You 
    can 
    hide 
    your 
    heart 
    inside 

    a man-made 
    house 

    house 

    You

    build 
    'em to 
    the sky 

    One 
    day 
    you 
    will find 
    love 

    was 
    on 
    both 
    sides 

    The 
    war 
    is over 

    Verse 3
    I came 
    upon 
    a wise 
    man, 
    he said, 

    "Sit 
    beside 
    me son" 

    "When 
    I was 
    a young 
    man, 

    I was 
    like 
    you, 
    the prodigal 
    son" 

    Safe 
    behind 
    a half-smile, 

    hidin' 
    in 
    in the 
    shadows 

    Tell 
    'em that 
    it's all 
    right, 

    tell 
    'em 'cause 
    you said 
    so 

    You 
    can build 
    your 
    Verse 4

    love 
    will tear

    stand
    still 
    so 
    long 

    feel 
    so 
    low 

    know

    • 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.
