    One, 
    two 

    One, 
    two, 
    three 

    Verse 2
    Something's 
    troubling 
    you 

    It's 
    going 
    to mess 
    up 
    your mind 

    You're 
    reaching 
    for 
    rainbows 

    Verse 3
    That 
    you never 
    seem 
    to find 

    Life 
    gives 
    you hope 
    then 

    disappointments 

    And 
    you 
    do 
    the same 
    thing 
    to me 

    Verse 4
    Oh, 
    you 
    build 
    me up 
    to 
    tear 
    me down 

    Give me 
    hope, 
    then take 
    it 

    Why 
    do you 
    woo 
    my 
    heart 

    And 
    turn 
    around 
    and break 
    it? 

    You 
    build 
    me up 
    to 
    tear 
    me down 

    Don't 
    take 
    my 
    love 
    and use 
    it 

    Keep 
    tearing 
    down 
    what 
    we 
    found 

    And 
    we're 
    gonna 
    lose 
    it 

    Verse 5
    You 
    can 
    come 
    to 
    me 
    hungry 

    With 
    your back 
    against 
    the wall 

    But 
    when 
    you're 
    unhappy 

    Verse 6
    You 
    just 
    don't 
    come 
    by 
    at all 

    I'm 
    not 
    a fair 
    weather 
    woman 

    And I 
    need 
    an all 
    weather 
    man 

    Verse 7
    Oh, 
    why 
    do you 
    build 
    me up 

    to 
    tear 
    me down? 

    It's 
    my 
    life 
    you're stealing 

    Every 
    time 
    things 
    go 
    wrong 

    You 
    run and 
    hide 
    your feelings 

    You 
    build 
    me up 
    to 
    tear 
    me down 

    Don't take 
    my 
    love 
    and use 
    it 

    Keep 
    tearing 
    down 
    what 
    we found 

    And 
    we're 
    gonna 
    lose 
    it 

    You're 
    gonna 
    lose 
    it, 
    baby 
    Verse 8

    Don't 
    you 
    abuse 
    it, 
    baby 

    You're 
    gonna 
    lose 
    it, 
    baby 

    Don't 
    you 
    abuse 
    it, 
    baby 

    Verse 9
    Sharing 
    troubles 

    It's 
    what love's 
    about 

    If you 
    let 
    me help 
    you 

    We 
    can 
    work 
    it out 

    Verse 10
    just 
    need 
    you 
    to 
    love

    to promise

    What 
    you 
    just 
    don't

    to give 

    I don't 
    really 
    care 
    how 
    big 
    you make 
    it 

    As 
    long 
    as 
    you make 
    it 
    with 
    me 

    Verse 12
    But you 
    build 
    me 
    up, 
    tear 
    me down 

    Give 
    me 
    hope, 
    then 
    take 
    it 

    Why 
    do you 
    woo 
    my 
    heart 

    And 
    turn 
    around 
    and break 
    it?

    take 
    my 
    love 
    and use 
    it 

    Keep 
    tearing 
    down 
    what 
    we found 

    And we're 
    gonna 
    lose 
    it

    • 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.
