    Verse 1
    Don't 
    wish 
    it 
    away 

    Don't 
    look 
    at 
    it 
    like 
    it's 
    forever 


    Between 
    you 
    and 
    me 

    I 
    can 
    honestly 
    say 

    That 
    things 
    can 
    only 
    get 
    better 


    And 
    while 
    I'm 
    away 
    Pre-chorus 1

    Dust 
    out 
    the 
    demons 
    in
    side 

    And 
    it 
    won't 
    be 
    long 
    before 
    you 
    and 
    me 
    run 

    To 
    the 
    place 
    in 
    our 
    hearts 

    where 
    we 
    hide 

    Chorus 1
    And 
    I 
    guess 
    that's 
    why 
    they 
    call 
    it 
    the 
    blues 

    Time 
    on 
    my 
    hands 

    could 
    be 
    time 
    spent 
    with 
    you 

    Laughing 
    like 
    children, 

    living 
    like 
    lovers 

    Rolling 
    like 
    thunder 

    under 
    the 
    covers 

    And 
    I 
    guess 
    that's 
    why 
    they 

    call 
    it 
    the 
    blues 

    Verse 2
    Just 
    stare 
    into 
    space 

    Picture 
    my 
    face 
    in 
    your 
    hands 


    Live 
    for 
    each 
    second 

    without 
    hesi
    tation 

    and 
    never 
    forget 
    I'm 
    your 
    man 


    Wait 
    on 
    me 
    girl 
    Pre-chorus 2

    Cry 
    in 
    the 
    night 
    if 
    it 
    helps 

    But 
    more 
    than 
    ever 

    I 
    simply 
    love 
    you 

    More 
    than 
    I 
    love 
    life 
    it
    self 

    Chorus 2
    And 
    I 
    guess 
    that's 
    why 
    they 
    call 
    it 
    the 
    blues

    Solo 1




    Wait

    Pre-chorus 3

      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.
