    Verse 1
    If 
    you've 
    ever 
    kept 
    a secret 

    from 
    the one 
    you 
    love 

    This 
    is 
    what it 
    feels 
    like 

    Verse 2
    If 
    you thought 
    that 
    I 
    was 
    perfect 

    Boy, 
    you were 
    wrong 

    I'm 
    far 
    from 
    that 

    There's 
    one 
    thing 
    that 

    I've done 
    to 
    you 

    That 
    I 
    regret 
    and 

    Look, 
    I 
    know 
    it's 
    no excuse, 

    but 
    I'm only 
    human 

    And 
    young 
    at that 

    And 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    make 

    mis
    takes 

    And hope 
    you understand 

    Verse 3
    Didn't 
    see 
    it 
    comin' 

    Wasn't 
    on 
    purpose 

    Baby, 
    I 
    promise 
    I didn't 
    mean 
    to hurt 
    you 

    Will 
    you 
    for
    give 
    me? 

    You didn't 
    deserve 
    this 

    I 
    know 
    it 
    wasn't 
    worth 
    it 

    Verse 4
    Gotta 
    tell 
    him the 
    truth 

    (when I'm

    to) 

    Tell him 
    the 
    truth 
    (somehow) 

    Gotta tell 
    him the 
    truth 

    (that's what 
    I gotta

    Tell him 
    the 
    truth 
    (but not

    the truth 

    (he couldn't 
    handle 
    it) 

    Tell

    truth 
    (that's what 

    I 
    gotta 
    do) 

    Tell him 
    the 
    truth 
    (but not 
    now, 

    ooh) 

    Didn't see 
    when 
    I had 
    tears 
    Verse 5

    rolling 
    down 
    my 
    face 

    I 
    turned 
    my back 

    It 
    was 
    heavy 
    on the 
    tongue 

    (And I 
    knew 
    that 
    you knew 

    something 
    was 
    wrong) 

    I 
    was about 
    to break 
    open, 

    spill 
    out 
    everything 

    But 
    something 
    said 

    "Keri, 
    wait, 
    things 
    are going 
    great, 

    what 
    you gon
    na 
    say?"

    don't know, 

    maybe 
    something 
    like"

    I promise 
    I 

    didn't 
    mean 
    to 
    hurt 
    you 

    Will 
    you 
    for
    give 
    me? 

    You didn't 
    deserve 
    this 

    I 
    know 
    it 
    wasn't 
    worth 
    it

    I 
    feel 
    less

    And 
    I'm tired

    Guess 
    I've

    the 
    stars 
    to 
    align 

    There's

    per
    fect 
    time 

    I 
    gotta

    ooh) 

    Verse 10
    Baby,

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
