I'm
Am

standing on the cliff top,

watchin' storm clouds grow

It's disappointment time again,

I've been up here before

The wind balloons my jacket,

seabirds collide below

A pier stands on a hundred stilts,
Em
Am

some stranded UFO

I've stopped the car,

in a dead end street

Rear view mirror,

nothing but empty seats

I could brace myself,

smash through the concrete

Find what's behind that wall of insecurity

From gin and jags,

Once we were, back to back

Why me, designed to compete

Always, flirtin' with defeat

Why me, I knew it when we met

Hell, what else could you expect

Why me, hungry for affection

It ends, with chaos and re

jection

Am

Through the wall and over the cliff

I made the decision,

you took quite a risk

Selena says, as she strokes my head
Em

With luck like yours, you should be dead

Forget the past and melt

my silver spoon

Selena, not a minute too soon

Broke the chains of negativity

At last I score a victory

Nowadays, I think at defeat

She's me, I felt it when me met

That feel, cancels all regret

  • 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.
