    • Verse 1
    I 
    have 
    a friend, 

    swear 
    she saw 
    Je
    sus 

    Hovering 
    above 
    her 
    lonely 
    bed 

    She said 
    it changed 
    her life 

    forever 

    " Whatever 
    work
    s" 
    I 
    said 

    I sit 
    with 
    her 
    chan
    ging 
    channels 

    It's 
    so 
    hard 
    to concentrate 

    I 
    laugh 
    at 
    her, 
    but 
    I'm 
    pretty 
    sure 

    She's 
    having 
    a 
    bet
    ter 
    day 

    Verse 2
    So 
    I 
    will 
    lay 
    on 
    the 
    high
    way 

    somewhere 
    in 
    New 
    Mexico 

    And 
    wait 
    for 
    a strange 
    light 

    to come 
    and 
    take 
    me 
    home 

    Or 
    I 
    will stand 
    by 
    the statue 

    and 
    wait 
    for 
    her 
    to cry 

    To see 
    real 
    tears 
    that seem 
    sincere 

    once 
    before 
    I 
    die 

    Verse 3

    The 
    other 
    night 
    I 
    talked 
    to 

    an old 
    flame 

    Who finally 
    said 
    why 
    he 
    moved 
    on 

    He 
    said 
    I did
    n't 
    have 

    faith 
    in 
    any
    thing 

    I knew 
    he 
    was
    n't 
    wrong 

    I 
    saw 
    two 
    lovers 
    in 
    the 
    park 

    With 
    that 
    dreamy 
    look 
    of 

    lust 
    in 
    their 
    eye
    s 

    The 
    whole 
    world 
    smiled 
    as 
    they 
    passed 
    by 

    They 
    just 
    make 
    me 
    mad 

    Verse 4
    So 
    I 
    will 
    lay 
    on 
    the 
    high
    way 

    somewhere 
    in 
    New 
    Mexico 

    And 
    wait 
    for 
    a 
    strange 
    light 

    to come 
    and 
    take 
    me 
    home 

    Or 
    I 
    will stand 
    by 
    the statue 
    an

    d 
    wait 
    for 
    her 
    to cry 

    Take 
    this 
    jaded 
    heart, 
    blow 
    it 
    all 
    apart, 

    once 
    before 
    I 
    die 

    Verse 5
    I'll get 
    down 
    on 
    my 
    knees, 

    something 
    I 
    don't 
    believe 

    Some
    body 
    help 
    me 
    please, 

    I'm start
    ing 
    to 
    repeat 
    myself 

    I'm starting 
    to 
    repeat 
    myself 

    Verse 6
    So 
    I 
    will 
    lay

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
