    • Verse 1

    The first 
    girl 
    that I fell 
    for was 
    a fair 

    an
    d faithful 
    fighter 

    She smoldered 
    with 
    a will 

    to save 
    the world 

    I did 
    my best 
    to help 
    her, yeah, 

    I stood 
    shoulder 
    to shoulder 

    On 
    the front 
    lines with 
    my visionary 
    girl 

    I wish 
    that she 
    had cared 
    for me 
    But 
    in the 
    end her 
    Verse 2

    ideologies 

    Occu
    pied 
    the fort
    ress 
    of 
    her heart 

    I wrote 
    her fifteen 
    songs 

    but still 
    we had 
    to part 

    And 
    if music 
    Verse 3
    was 
    the food 
    of love 

    Then 
    I'd be 
    a fat 
    ro
    mantic 
    slob 

    Well music, 
    it's 
    my 
    substitute 
    for love 

    The last 
    girl 
    that I loved, 
    she was 
    a low 
    an
    d lusty 
    Verse 4

    liar 

    She set 
    my heart 
    on fire 

    but made 
    me choke 

    Her beauty 
    was 
    a sight 
    to see 

    but she didn't 
    save 
    it all 
    for me 

    I 
    found 
    other fires 
    by following 

    the 
    smoke 

    I wish 
    that she 
    Verse 5
    had either 

    cared 
    for me 
    or let 
    me be 

    But 
    she chased 
    me from 
    mind 

    and from 
    my home 

    I wrote 
    her sixteen 
    songs 
    but I 

    ended up 
    alone 

    And if love 
    is 
    really 
    all 
    that 
    Verse 6

    we need 

    Then even 
    all 
    my singing 

    is never 
    gonna 
    save 
    me 

    Music 
    it's 
    my 
    substitute 
    for love 

    Well 
    I've 
    had many 
    different 
    Verse 7

    girls 
    inside 
    my 
    bed 

    But only 
    one 
    or two 
    inside 
    my 
    head 

    These days 
    I cuddle 
    up 
    to my 

    guitar 
    in
    stead 

    But oh, 
    what I 
    would give 

    Not 
    to stumble 
    but 
    to really 
    fall 
    in love 

    And 
    I 
    could substitute 
    my singing 

    For 
    the sound 
    of someone 

    sleeping 
    nex
    t to me

      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.
