All you have to do is find them.

A pity, but the pretty ones are

usually more touristy.

Say, how'd you like to run away
B

from these machines?

Everywhere the spies are printing

Seven stops in seven

Seven page itineraries, memories thick as Bloody Marys,

Jesus, Joseph, bloody hell.

Four years thrown away on
Verse 3
D


vows we never kept.

Forty-five minutes minutes every
C

day religiously devoted to regret.

Time we could have spent on medication thrown away on education,

Em

And we planned to take a trip
B

to Scotland but we never made it.

How'd you like to run

away from these machines?
C

I had Ju lian's and Steve's.
B

You had Julia's and Jeanette's.
C

You wear your terror on your sleeve for

all the men I haven't met (yet).

We're keeping track so carefully we've

missed the state we're in completely.

Honestly, your foot is out the door and I've got scores of offers
Baug

elsewhere and keep both feet planted firmly in the air,

Verse 5
C

And maybe you'll go mad.
B

And maybe I'll go gray
C

And pack up to Berlin,

Or maybe it won't matter anyway.

We'll find out that your mom was right

and you'll admit you're really gay.

And maybe I'll wake up

  • 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 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    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!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    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.

    Caleb Schafli

    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.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
