For (F)all of the times it you told me you need me, need ing me now is (F7)some thing I could (Bb)use.

And I think we can (F)time for all of the (Gm)old,

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does β€” a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
