Verse 1
C

The film was a bust,

but we stayed to the ending

Hair all a mussed but your clothes
G
Bm
G
Bm

didn't look so bad
C

And back on the street,

the rain was descending

In cold dirty sheets,
G

so under the awning we sat

And then you hailed yourself a yellow cab
Verse 2
C

And I sat for a time by the valets in line
G

And I read what you wrote on the card
Em
C

Above a cowboy you drew

a big dark balloon
G

Saying "try not to take it so hard"
Em
Am

But there's this nagging suspicion
C

that won't leave me alone tonight

Its just that everything I try to do,
Interlude 1

nothing seems to turn out right

Verse 3
C

We laid on our backs and

stared at the ceiling

Messed with your slacks,
G

but ended up just holding your hand
C

The rain will remain, the tv was telling

A drip of the drain as your
G

legs lifted brilliantly bent

And fall to resting on the ottoman
Verse 4
C

So we turned off the tube and we

crawled to your room
G

Leaving discarded clothes in our way
Em
C

And we both had some fun,

though I twice bit my tongue
G
Em
G

And it lasted too long for my taste
Em
Am

And there's this nagging suspicion

Verse 5

And there's this nagging suspicion
C

that won't leave me alone tonight

Its just that everything I try to do,

Verse 6
C

A wink and a wave and

your off to your family's

I sit and watch as the taxis
G

lights distantly fade

I guess I always thought it'd end this way

  • 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.
