    Verse 1
    That 
    frightening 
    little 
    sound 

    It's 
    just 
    the 
    world 
    awake 

    It's 
    just 
    a way 
    of 
    saying 

    we're 
    in 
    business 

    It's 
    just 
    a 
    lightning 
    strike, 

    It's 
    just 
    a 
    family 
    row 

    It's 
    just 
    the 
    give 
    and 
    take 
    of 
    forgiveness 



    Chance 
    being 
    a 
    fine 
    thing 

    brought 
    us 
    togeth
    er 

    But 
    we're 
    not 
    magnets 

    well 
    not 
    forever

    It's 
    just 
    the 
    way 
    I 
    am, 

    It's 
    just 
    the 
    way 
    we 
    are 

    It's 
    just 
    a 
    nervous 
    flicker
    ing 
    of 

    old 
    flames 

    Now 
    everybody 
    wears 
    the look 

    Of the child 
    who 
    wished 

    to marry 
    you 

    Who, 
    knocking 
    proudly 
    on 
    your door, 

    Was 
    greeted 
    by 
    your 
    pretty 
    wife 

    If 
    this 
    is 
    life 
    make 
    no mistake 

    It keeps 
    the 
    weary 
    world 
    awake 



    Chance 
    being 
    a fine 
    thing 
    brought 

    us 
    together 

    But 
    we're 
    not 
    magnets 
    well 

    not 
    forever 

    It's 
    just 
    the 
    way 
    I 
    am, 

    It's 
    just 
    the 
    way 
    we 
    are 

    It's 
    just 
    a nervous 

    flickering 
    of 
    old 
    flames 

    So 
    don't 
    you 
    cry 
    they're, 

    They're 
    only 
    words 

    They're 
    only 
    the saddest 
    thing 
    you've 

    ever 
    heard 

    Now 
    everybody 
    wears 
    the 
    look 

    Of the 
    child 
    who 
    wished 
    to 

    marry 
    you 

    Who, 
    knocking 
    proudly 
    on 
    your 
    door, 

    Was 
    greeted 
    by 
    your 
    pretty 
    wife 

    If 
    this 
    is 
    life 

    make 
    no mis
    take 

    It 
    keeps 
    the 
    weary 
    world 
    awake

      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.
