    • Verse 1
    Octo
    ber 
    '97, with 
    the 

    hurricane 
    approach
    ing 

    I 
    was 
    in 
    my 
    room 

    Kisses, 
    bicycles, 

    glimpses 
    of 
    the 
    sea 

    I 
    can 
    recall 
    them 
    vividly 

    Verse 2

    Like 
    all 
    the 
    first 
    things 

    You 
    so 
    comically 
    inaccessible 

    Waiting 
    to 
    meet 
    your 
    husband 
    from 
    the train 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    We 
    never 
    gave 
    a 
    shit 
    about 
    whether 

    we 
    were 
    or 
    weren't 
    hip 

    We 
    played 
    in 
    a 
    dust 
    cloud 
    like 

    Pig- 
    Pen 
    in 
    Peanuts 

    We 
    played 
    in 
    a 
    dust 
    cloud 

    like 
    Pig- 
    Pen 
    in 
    Peanuts 

    Verse 4
    And 
    every 

    letter 
    leaves 
    you 
    bitter 

    We're 
    up 
    on 
    the 
    cricket 
    pitch 
    with 

    cracked 
    lips 
    in 
    the 
    middle 
    of 
    winter 

    Here 
    Verse 5
    comes 
    the 
    sun, 

    here 
    comes 
    the 
    moon 

    Here 
    comes 
    the 
    hurricane, 

    I'm 
    in 
    my 
    room 

    American 
    Air
    lines, 
    American 
    Boom 

    She'll 
    be 
    home 
    soon, 
    I'll 
    be 
    in 
    my 
    room 

    Here 
    comes 
    the 
    light, 

    she shines 
    like 
    a 
    spoon 

    When 
    she 
    comes 
    around 

    I'll 
    be 
    in 
    my 
    room 

    I'll 
    be 
    in 
    my 
    room... 

    Verse 6

    There 
    are 
    no 
    lightbulbs left 

    on 
    the bot
    tom 
    shelf 

    I 
    keep 
    leav
    ing 
    you 
    in 
    a muddle, 

    you 
    keep 
    leaving 
    me 
    for 
    someone 
    else 

    For someone 
    else... 

    Verse 7

    And 
    every 
    letter 
    leaves 
    you 
    bitter 

    We're 
    up 
    on 
    the cricket 
    pitch 
    with 

    cracked 
    lips 
    in the 
    middle 
    of 
    winter 

    Here 
    Verse 8
    comes 
    the 
    sun
    , 

    here 
    comes 
    the 
    moon 

    Here 
    comes 
    the 
    hurricane, 

    I'm 
    in 
    my 
    room 

    American 
    Air
    lines, 
    American 
    Boom 

    She'll

      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

      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 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.
