    Verse 1
    was 
    Cleopatra, 
    was 
    young 
    and 
    an 
    actress 

    When 
    you 
    knelt 
    by 
    my 
    mattress, 

    and 
    asked 
    for 
    my 
    hand 

    But 
    was 
    sad 
    you 
    asked 
    it, 

    as 
    laid 
    in 
    black 
    dress 

    With 
    my 
    father 
    in 
    casket, 

    had 
    no 
    plans, 
    yeah 


    Verse 2
    And 
    left 
    the 
    footprints, 

    the 
    mud 
    stain 
    on 
    the 
    carpet 

    And 
    it 
    hardened 
    like 
    my 
    heart 
    did 

    when 
    you 
    left 
    town 

    But 
    must 
    admit 
    it, 

    that 
    would 
    marry 
    you 
    in 
    an 
    instant 

    Damn 
    your 
    wife, 
    I'd 
    be 
    your 
    mistress 

    just 
    to 
    have 
    you 
    around 

    Chorus 1
    But 
    was 
    late 
    for 
    this, 
    late 
    for 
    that, 

    late 
    for 
    the 
    love 
    of 
    my 
    life 

    And 
    when 
    die 
    a
    lone, 
    when 
    die 
    a
    lone, 

    die 
    I'll 
    be 
    on 
    time, 
    ah 


    Verse 3
    While 
    the 
    church 
    discouraged, 

    any 
    lust 
    that 
    burned 
    within 
    me 

    Yes 
    my 
    flesh, 
    it 
    was 
    my 
    currency, 

    but 
    held 
    true 

    So 
    drive 
    taxi, 

    and 
    the 
    traffic 
    dis
    tracts 
    me 

    From 
    the 
    strangers 
    in 
    my 
    backseat, 

    they 
    remind 
    me 
    of 
    you 

    Chorus 2
    But 
    was 
    late 
    for 
    this, 
    late 
    for 
    that, 

    late 
    for 
    the 
    love 
    of 
    my 
    life 

    And 
    when 
    die 
    a
    lone, 
    when 
    die 
    a
    lone, 

    die 
    I'll 
    be 
    on 
    time 

    Bridge 1
    And 
    the 
    only 
    gifts 
    from 
    my 
    Lord 

    were 
    birth 
    and 
    divorce 

    But 
    I've 
    read 
    this 
    script 
    and 
    the 
    costume 
    fits, 

    so 
    I'll 
    play 
    my 
    part 


    Verse 4
    was 
    Cleopatra, 

    was 
    taller 
    than 
    the 
    rafters 

    But 
    that's 
    all 
    in 
    the 
    past 
    love, 

    gone 
    with 
    the 
    wind 

    Now 
    nurse 
    in 
    white 
    shoes 

    leads 
    me 
    back 
    to 
    my 
    guestroom 

    It's 
    bed 
    and 
    bathroom 

    And 
    place 
    for 
    the 
    end 

    Chorus 3
    won't 
    be 
    late 
    for 
    this, 
    late 
    for 
    that, 

    late 
    for 
    the 
    love 
    of 
    my 
    life 

    And 
    when 
    die 
    a
    lone, 
    when 
    die 
    a
    lone, 

    die 
    I'll 
    be 
    on 
    time, 
    ah

    • 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.
