    Verse 1
    Sober 
    in 

    the morning 
    light 

    Things 
    look 
    so 
    much 
    different 

    To 
    how 
    they 
    looked 
    last 
    night 

    A pale 
    face 
    pressed 
    to 
    an 
    unmade 
    bed 

    Like 
    flags 
    of 
    many 
    nations 

    Flying 
    high 
    above 
    her head 

    The cellophane 
    is still 

    on 
    the flowers 

    The telegram 
    still 
    in 
    her 
    hand 

    As 
    whispers 
    cir
    culate 
    all 
    day 

    Their 
    backstage 
    baby 
    princess 

    passed 
    away 

    Verse 2

    You can 
    cage 
    the songbird 

    But 
    you can't 
    make 
    her 
    sing 

    You can 
    trap 
    the 
    free 
    bird 

    But 
    you'll 
    have 
    to clip 
    her 
    wing
    s 

    'Cause 
    she'll 
    soar 
    like 
    a 
    hawk 

    when 
    she 
    flies 

    But 
    she'll 
    die 
    like 
    an 
    eagle 

    Verse 3
    When 
    she 
    die 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 4
    Promises 
    of 
    no 
    more 
    lies 

    Fell 
    flat 
    upon 
    an 
    empty 
    stage 

    Before 
    the 
    audience 
    arrived 

    A return 
    in 
    time 
    to 

    the cheaper 
    seats 

    She never 
    knew 
    what 
    lay 
    beneath 

    Just 
    a dated 
    hand
    bill 
    they 
    found 

    beneath 
    the sheets 

    Let 
    down 
    before 
    the fi
    nal 

    curtain 

    The shallow 
    heart 
    that 
    left 
    her 
    cold 

    She 
    left 
    in 
    rouge 
    upon 
    the mirror 

    A circled 
    kiss 
    oh 
    to 
    the faithful 
    fans 

    Who'd 
    miss 
    her 

    Verse 5
    You 
    can 
    cage 
    the songbird 

    But 
    you can't 
    make 
    her 
    sing 

    You 
    can 
    trap 
    the free 
    bird 

    But 
    you'll 
    have 
    to clip 
    her 

    wing
    s 

    'Cause she'll 
    soar 
    like 
    a 

    hawk 
    when 
    she 
    flies 

    But 
    she'll 
    die 
    like 
    an 
    eagle 

    When 
    she 
    die

      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

      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.
