    Verse 1
    drove 
    through 
    the 
    desert 
    last 
    night 


    carried 
    the 
    weight 
    of 
    our 
    last 
    fight 


    Elvis 
    singing 
    "don't 
    be 
    cruel" 

    And 
    wonder 

    if 
    you 
    feel 
    it 
    too 
    It's 
    like 
    we're 
    going 
    under 

    Pre-chorus 1
    Somewhere 
    outside 

    the 
    lonely 
    Esmeralda 
    county 
    line 

    The 
    question 
    of 
    my 
    heart 
    came 
    to 
    my 
    mind 

    Chorus 1
    If 
    go 
    on 
    with 
    you 
    (by 
    my 
    side) 

    Can 
    it 
    be 
    the 
    way 
    it 
    was? 

    When 
    we 
    met 

    Did 
    you 
    for
    get 
    all 
    about 
    those 
    golden 
    nights? 

    Verse 2
    Maybe 
    thief 
    stole 
    your 
    heart 

    Or 
    maybe 
    we 
    just 
    drifted 
    a
    part 

    remember 
    driving 

    In 
    my 
    daddy's 
    car 
    to 
    the 
    airfield 

    Blanket 
    on 
    the 
    hood, 

    backs 
    against 
    the 
    windshield 

    Pre-chorus 2
    Back 
    then 
    this 
    thing 
    was 
    running 

    on 
    momentum, 
    love 
    and 
    trust 

    That 
    paradise 
    is 
    buried 
    in 
    the 
    dust 

    Chorus 2
    If 
    go 
    on 
    with 
    you 
    (by 
    my 
    side) 

    Can 
    it 
    be 
    the 
    way 
    it 
    was? 

    When 
    we 
    met 

    Did 
    you 
    for
    get 
    all 
    about 
    those 
    golden 
    nights? 

    Bridge 1
    (The 
    way 
    it 
    was, 
    it 
    was) 

    All 
    of 
    our 
    plans 
    have 
    fallen 
    through 

    Sometimes 
    dream, 

    it 
    don't 
    come 
    true 


    Chorus 3
    Dar
    ling! 
    Dar.... 

    (If 
    we 
    go 
    on, 
    can 
    it 
    be?) 

    Can 
    it 
    be 
    the 
    way 
    it 
    was? 

    When 
    we 
    met 

    Did 
    you 
    for
    get 
    all 
    about 
    them 
    golden 
    nights? 

    If 
    go 
    on 
    with 
    you 
    (by 
    my 
    side) 

    Can 
    it 
    be 
    the 
    way 
    it 
    was? 

    My 
    heart 
    is 
    true 

    Girl, 
    it's 
    just 
    you 
    I'm 
    think
    ing 
    of 

    Outro 1
    Can 
    it 
    be 
    the 
    way 
    it 

    (was?) 

    Maybe 
    thief 
    stole 
    your 
    heart

    • 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.
