    Verse 1
    What 
    if 
    came 
    knocking 

    On 
    your front 
    door 
    some 
    night? 

    Would 
    you 
    open 
    the 
    window 

    And 
    drop 
    me down 
    the key? 

    What 
    if 
    came 
    knocking 

    On 
    your 
    bedpost 
    that 
    same 
    night? 

    Would 
    you 
    open 
    up 
    your 
    heart 

    Or try 
    to get 
    the 
    be
    st 
    of 
    me? 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 2
    What 
    if I 
    came 
    knocking 

    On 
    your brain 
    the 
    next 
    day 

    And 
    ask 
    for your 
    truth 
    and 
    your love 

    and 
    your 
    honesty? 

    Would 
    you build 
    up 
    your 
    big 
    wall

    And 
    try 
    to hide 
    behind 
    that 
    smile 

    Or would 
    you try 
    to pull 
    the 
    wool 

    right 
    over 
    me? 

    Verse 3

    So what 
    if 
    came 
    knocking? 

    So 
    what 
    if 
    came 
    knocking? 

    So 
    what 
    if 
    came 
    kicking 

    And 
    it scared 
    you 
    a little 
    bit 

    And 
    I came 
    on 
    strong 

    Would 
    you think 

    That 
    there's something 

    wrong 
    with 
    me? 

    Or 
    could 
    it 
    be 
    your 
    fears 

    Of 
    try
    ing 
    something 
    real 

    Or just 
    afraid 
    to 
    touch 

    A guy 
    like 
    me? 

    Verse 4

    What if 
    came 
    knocking? 

    What 
    if 
    came 

    knocking? 

    What if 
    came 
    knocking 

    On 
    your front 
    door 
    some 

    night? 
    Ahh 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 5
    So 
    let's just 
    say 
    it worked 
    out 

    Like 
    a storybook 
    dream 

    And 
    we lived 
    happily 
    ever 
    after 

    Fa 
    la 
    la la 

    But what 
    if 
    came 
    crying 

    After 
    just 
    a few 
    weeks 

    And 
    said 
    I misread 
    my 
    heart 

    This 
    is 
    not 
    really 
    meant 
    to 
    be? 
    yeah 

    Verse 6
    So 


    if 
    you 
    hear 
    some 
    knocking 

    On 
    your window 
    tonight 

    You can 
    bet 
    that 
    it's 

    probably 
    me 

    But let 
    it 
    be 
    known 

    That 
    we're 
    just 
    a pair 
    of 
    tumbling 
    dice 

    And 
    the 
    outcome 
    of 
    these 
    crap 
    shoots 

    Is 
    hard 
    to see 

    Verse 7

    So what 
    if 
    came 
    knocking? 

    So 
    what 
    if 
    came 

    knocking? 

    So 
    what if 
    came 
    knocking 

    On 
    your front 
    door 
    to
    night? 
    Ahh 

    So 
    what 
    if 
    came 
    knocking? 

    Knock, 
    knock, 
    knock, 
    knock, 

    knock, 
    knocking 

    Kick, 
    kick, 
    kick 

    What if 
    came 
    knocking 

    On 
    your 
    front 
    porch 
    to
    night, 
    tonight?

    • 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.
