    Verse 1
    F

    I stick with real things

    Usually facts and figures

    When information's in its place
    Em

    I minimize the guessing game

    Guess what?
    Eb

    I don't like guessing games

    Or when I feel things

    Before I know the feelings

    How am I supposed to operate
    Dm

    If I'm just tossed around by fate?

    Like on an unexpected date?
    Pre-chorus 1
    Cm

    With a stranger who might talk too fast
    F

    Or ask me questions about myself
    Bb

    Before I've decided that
    Eb

    He can ask me questions about myself
    Cm

    He might sit too close
    F

    Or call the waiter by his first name
    Bb

    Or eat Oreos
    Eb

    But eat the cookie before the cream?
    Cm

    But what scares me the most
    D

    What scares me the most

    Chorus 1
    G

    Is what if when he sees me,

    what if he doesn't like it?

    What if he runs the other
    C

    way and I can't hide from it?
    C

    What happens then?
    G

    If when he knows me,

    he's only disappointed

    What if I give myself away,
    C

    to only get it given back?

    I couldn't live with that
    D
    Em

    So, I'm just fine, inside my shell-shaped mind
    C
    Am

    This way I get the best view
    Cm
    F

    So, when he sees me, I want him to
    Verse 2
    F

    I'm not defensive

    I'm simply being cautious

    I can't risk reckless dating
    Em

    Due to my miscalculating why
    Eb

    A certain suitor stands in line

    I've seen in movies

    Most made for television

    You cannot be too careful
    Dm

    When it comes to sharing your life

    I could end up a miserable wife

    Pre-chorus 2
    Cm

    He could be criminal,
    F

    some sort of psychopath

    Who escaped from an institution
    Bb

    Somewhere where they don't have girls
    Eb

    He could have masterminded

    some way to find me
    Cm

    He could be color blind
    F

    How untrustworthy is that?
    Bb

    He could be less than kind
    Eb

    Or even worse he could be very nice,
    Cm

    have lovely eyes
    Ab

    And make me laugh, come out of hiding
    D

    What do I do with that?

    Oh, God
    Chorus 2
    G

    What if when he sees me

    I like him and he knows it?

    What if he opens up a door
    C

    And I can't close it?
    Am

    What happens then?
    G

    If when he holds me

    My heart is set in motion

    I'm not prepared for that
    C

    I'm scared of breaking open
    D
    C
    D

    But still I can't help from hoping
    Em
    C

    To find someone to talk to
    D
    Am

    Who likes the way I am
    Cm

    Someone who when he sees me
    G
    G

    Wants to again

    • 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.
