    Verse 1

    They 
    say 
    some 
    days 
    you're 
    gonna 
    win 

    They 
    say 
    some 
    days 
    you're 
    gonna 
    lose 

    tell 
    you 
    got 
    news 
    for 
    you 

    You're 
    losin' 
    all 
    the 
    time, 
    you'll 
    never 
    win, 
    no 

    Pre-chorus 1
    If 
    you 
    believe 
    that's 
    how 
    it's 
    gonna 
    be, 

    I'd 
    better 
    put 
    you 
    down 

    Get 
    off 
    your 
    tightrope 
    up 
    there, 

    come 
    down 
    on 
    the 
    ground 

    You 
    gotta 
    save 
    me 
    now, 

    you 
    better 
    turn 
    around 

    Chorus 1
    (Woo!) 
    When 
    looked 
    around 

    (Woo!) 
    was 
    heading 
    down 

    Won't 
    some
    bo
    dy 

    throw 
    me 
    down 
    line

    If

    the 
    way 
    it's 
    gotta 
    be 

    (He- 
    he- 
    hey!) 

    Roll 
    it 
    over 
    and 
    you 
    will 
    see 
    (He-he-hey!) 

    Pre-chorus 2
    The 
    city 
    streets 
    are 
    full 
    of 
    people 

    going 
    nowhere 
    making 
    time 

    The 
    change 
    from 
    night 
    to 
    day 

    is 
    really 
    only 
    hours 

    It's 
    just 
    a
    long 
    the 
    line, 
    can't 
    you 
    see 
    the 
    sign 

    Chorus 2

    some
    bo
    dy 

    throw 
    me 
    down 
    line

    want 
    to 
    look 
    you 
    straight 
    in
    to 
    the 
    eye 

    (He- 
    he- 
    hey!) 

    want 
    to 
    tell 
    you 
    how 
    really 
    feel 

    (He- 
    he- 
    hey!) 

    And 
    can 
    feel 
    the 
    wheels 
    are 
    turning 
    around 

    (He- 
    he- 
    hey!) 

    Won't 
    somebody 
    throw 
    me 
    down 
    line

    • 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.
