  • Verse 1
    Like 
    the 
    contents 
    of your 
    handbag 

    You 
    don't 
    know why 
    it's there 

    People 
    ask 
    you where you're 

    heading 

    You just 
    answer 
    "anywhere" 

    We 
    Verse 2
    don't 
    mean 
    to be 
    this 
    vague 

    It just 
    happens 
    that we 
    are 

    No- 
    one asked 
    us 
    to 
    elaborate 

    We just 
    shrug 
    our shoulders 
    and 
    be 

    Verse 3

    And 
    like 
    the stories 
    that just 

    happene

    No- one 
    thought 
    of, 
    no- one 
    planned 

    We 
    could have 
    ruled, 

    we 
    could have 
    conquered 

    Then we 
    could 
    have been 
    a man 

    Verse 4
    We could 
    be 
    ex- 
    hus
    band 

    We could 
    be 
    ex- 
    wife 

    But 
    no- one 
    looks 
    at the menu 

    in a 
    greasy 
    spoon 
    life 

    Verse 5
    Alone, 
    alone 

    Half 
    an 
    hour 
    is 
    seven 
    hours 

    One 
    day 
    is 
    several 
    months 

    Alone, 
    alone 

    month 
    is 
    calendar 

    year 
    can 
    be 
    decade 
    spent 

    Alone 

    Verse 6

    He 
    knows 
    "hello" 
    in 
    eighteen 
    languages 

    "I 
    love 
    you" in 
    only 
    one 

    By the 
    time 
    he's 
    got 

    his phrase- 
    book 

    The chance 
    is usually 
    gone 

    Verse 7
    And we 
    feel 
    ourselves 
    quite 
    prepared 

    But quite 
    prepared 
    for 
    what 

    We 
    always 
    took 
    the 
    lead 

    Before 
    we 
    actually 
    knew 
    the plot 

    Verse 8

    And 
    you can 
    tell 
    where 

    we've 
    been shopping 

    By the 
    bags 
    beneath 
    our eye

    Make- 
    up shoulders 
    burden 

    But the smile 
    never 
    lies 

    Verse 9
    We could 
    be 
    ex- 
    hus
    band 

    We could 
    be 
    ex- 
    wife 

    But 
    no- 
    one 
    looks 
    at 
    the menu 

    in a 
    greasy 
    spoon 
    life 

    Verse 10
    Alone, 
    alone 

    Half 
    an 
    hour 
    is 
    seven 
    hours 

    One 
    day 
    is

    decade 
    spent 

    Alone 

    Verse 11

    So 
    empty 
    at the 
    airport 

    You 
    don't 
    set 
    off the 
    door

    We 
    used 
    to feel 
    like 
    chorus 
    girls 

    And 
    now we 
    feel 
    like 
    whores 

    Verse 12
    Hearts 
    built 
    like 
    reservoirs 

    Words 
    built 
    like 
    dams 

    Thoughts 
    built 
    like 
    juggernauts 

    Our 
    actions 
    built 
    like 
    prams 

    Verse 13

    And 
    when 
    the 
    wind 
    blows 
    into 
    our 
    face 

    We 
    should be 
    warmer 
    and 
    not 
    colder

    Well, 
    what 
    price 
    the charges 

    On 
    this 
    car
    go 
    that we 
    shoulder 

    Verse 14
    We could 
    be 
    ex- 
    hus
    band 

    We could 
    be 
    ex- 
    wife 

    But 
    no-

    looks 
    at the menu 

    in a 
    greasy 
    spoon 
    life 

    Verse 15
    Alone, 
    alone 

    Half 
    an 
    hour 
    is 
    seven 
    hours 

    One 
    day 
    is 
    several 
    months 

    Alone, 
    alone 

    A month 
    is 
    calendar 

    year 
    can 
    be 
    decade 
    spent 

    Alone 

    Verse 16

    And 
    we 
    only 
    smoke 
    when 
    bored 

    So we 
    do two 
    packs 
    a day 

    And we've 
    lost 
    the 
    difference 

    Between 
    bored 
    and 
    lonely 
    any
    way

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      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

      Rose the Black Cat

      "

      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

      Tuliketsune

      "

      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 a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      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.
