  • Verse 1
    I hated 
    when dad picked 

    up his 
    briefcase 

    'Cause 
    that 
    meant 
    that he was leavin' 

    But 
    loved the 
    sound that his 

    keychain made 

    When he 
    got home 
    in the evenin' 

    Verse 2
    was always 
    sad, mom 
    was always 
    mad 

    Most 
    nights 
    he showed 
    up 
    late 

    Set 
    his briefcase 
    down like 
    it 

    didn't weigh 
    a pound 

    No, I 
    never 
    understood 
    the 
    weight 

    But momma 
    always 
    left him a 
    plate 

    Verse 3
    Eighteen, 
    said 
    I'ma be 
    anythin' 

    But 
    just like 
    my old 
    man 

    Sellin' 
    houses 
    to all those 
    fam
    ilies 

    While 
    his 
    fam
    ily sat 

    at home miss
    in' him 

    Got 
    sick of playin' 
    ball games 
    watchin' 

    All 
    the other dads 
    watch 
    their 
    kids 

    So I picked 
    up a gui
    tar case 
    'cause 

    it 
    wasn't 
    square 
    like 
    his 

    Now, 
    sound 
    like him 
    Verse 4
    and I look 
    like him 

    And I 
    walk 
    like him 
    and I talk 
    like him 

    And I 
    try to make 
    my wife 
    laugh 

    When she's 
    mad 'cause 

    I love my 
    job 
    like him 

    Now, I 
    get it 
    dad, it's 
    a jugglin' 
    act 

    Between 
    feedin' the 
    kids 
    and feedin' the 

    dream
    s we 
    chase 

    I guess 
    guitar 
    doesn't fall 
    too far 

    from 
    briefcase 

    Verse 5
    Well, momma 
    cleaned 
    and daddy 
    worked 

    And I 
    learned 
    to play the gui
    tar 

    On 
    McGregor Court, that's 
    how we 

    coped with 
    all 
    our broken 
    hearts 

    I know I 
    held it 
    against him 

    Throwin' that 
    baseball 
    against 
    his 
    steps 

    But 
    daddy never 
    held 
    it 
    against 
    me 

    'Cause I 
    wasn't 
    a father 
    yet, 
    not 
    yet 

    Now, 
    sound 
    like him 
    and I look 
    like him 
    And I 
    Verse 6

    walk 
    like him 
    and I talk 
    like him 

    And I 
    try to make 
    my kids 
    laugh 

    When they're 
    sad 

    and it's all my 
    fault 
    like him 

    Now, I 
    get it 
    dad, it's 
    a jugglin' 
    act 

    Between 
    feedin' the 
    kids 
    and feedin' the 

    dreams we 
    chase 

    I guess 
    guitar 
    doesn't fall 

    too far 
    from 
    briefcase 

    It's 
    blessing 
    and a curse 
    Verse 7
    in 

    this 
    case 
    I carry 
    around 

    Every 
    time 
    I pick it 
    up, 
    my kids say, 

    "Daddy 
    put it down" 

    And 
    I see 
    me in 
    them 
    an

    d I feel 
    him 
    in me 

    Like 
    the 
    cats 
    in 
    the cradle 

    and 
    the apples 
    in the trees 

    And I just 
    smile 
    when somebody 
    says 

    That 
    sound 
    like him 
    and I look 
    like him 
    And I 
    Verse 8

    walk 
    like him 
    and I talk 
    like him 

    And I 
    run 
    to 
    the father 
    when I hate 

    nothin' 
    at all 
    like him 

    Yeah, I 
    get it 
    dad, it's 
    a jugglin' 
    act 

    Between 
    feedin' the 
    kids 
    and feedin' the 

    dreams we 
    chase 

    I guess 
    guitar 
    doesn't fall 

    too far 
    from 
    the 
    briefcase

    • 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.
