    • Verse 1
    One 

    night 
    I 
    fell 

    in love 
    with 
    a 
    little 
    girl 

    And 
    I 
    gave 
    her 
    my 
    whole 
    world 

    And I knew 
    right 
    then 
    I'd 

    nev
    er 
    get it back

    And I 
    wondered 
    how 
    I 
    fell 
    for 
    that 

    Five 
    months 
    later 
    with tears 

    in both 
    her 
    eye
    s 

    She 
    handed 
    me 
    those 
    two 
    pink 
    lines 

    The only 
    test 
    in my 
    whole 
    life 
    I didn't 
    fail 

    I told 
    her 
    we'd 
    be fine, 

    but I 
    was 
    scared 
    as hell 

    Ooo
    hhh, 
    my 
    love, 

    I 
    hope 
    it doesn't 
    show 

    But I'm scared 
    to death 
    of 
    drowning 

    In these 
    things 
    that 
    I don't 
    know 

    Ooo
    hhh, 
    my 
    love, 

    I 
    hope 
    you'll understand 

    The truth 
    is 
    I'm 
    a boy, 

    who's 
    tryin 
    to be 
    a man 


    I 
    got 
    a hand 
    me down 
    gold 
    ring 

    to 
    make 
    it right 

    And I could 
    feel 
    you kick 
    when the judge 

    said 
    "Kiss 
    the bride" 

    But 
    your momma 
    and me 
    we 

    walked 
    out 
    hand in 
    hand 

    Soon, 
    three 
    against 
    the world 

    We'd make 
    a stand 

    But on 
    the day 
    that 
    you were 
    born 

    She 
    got 
    called 
    home 

    And it's 
    the 
    darkest 
    thing 
    my heart 

    has ever 
    known 
    The 
    Dr. 

    Said "I'm 
    sorry" 

    And handed 
    you to 
    me 

    I looked 
    in your blue 
    eyes 

    and 
    couldn't 
    even 
    speak 

    To 
    tell 
    you 
    "Oh, 
    my 
    son, 

    I 
    hope 
    it doesn't 
    show, 

    But I'm scared 
    to death 
    of 

    drowning 

    In these thing
    s 
    that I 
    don't know. 

    Whoa, 
    my son, 

    I 
    hope 
    you'll understand 

    The truth 
    is 
    I'm 
    a boy, 

    just 
    tryin 
    to be 
    a man. 

    Oh your 
    daddy's 
    just 
    a 
    boy, 

    who's 
    trying 
    to 
    be 
    a man...

      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.
