Verse 1
G

Enough with the mood lighting,
D
G

I'm not in the mood
Em

Apparently I don't have
C

the right attitude
G

Do you think this is a sense,
D

maybe that's what we need
Em

Then we could channel some
C

of the dead air between you and me
Verse 2
G

Dry your new age tears,
D

let's stick to the facts
Em

Don't need your phony pearls of wisdom,
C

you can have them back
G

Don't want your earnest sympathy,
D

keep it to yourself
Em

If I'm gon na be alone I'd rather
C

be my myself

You've read The Road Less Traveled
D
G

You think you know everything
Em

A little knowledge can be
C

such a dangerous thing
G
D

If you'd look in the mirror I could tell

you what you'd see
Em

It'd be a real education,
C

tuition's free
Verse 5
G

How could you just sit

there all those years
D

And watch me throw away
Em

Everything I wanted and worked for
C
D

And the dreams I couldn't even say
G

Didn't it ever occur to you
D

to once ask me why
Em

I guess it did n't,
C
G

and I think that's maybe worse than a lie

pretended it was about me

  • 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.
