    Verse 1
    I've 
    got 
    five 
    minutes 
    to sneak 
    a cigarette 

    Five 
    minutes 
    to 
    myself 

    Back 
    behind 
    the screen 
    door 

    of 
    Andy's 
    luncheonette 

    And 
    I 
    ain't 
    got 
    time 

    to worry 
    'bout 
    my 
    health 

    My 
    boss 
    Andy 
    says 
    I 
    smoke 

    myself 
    to death 

    Andy 
    he 
    reminds 
    me 
    some 
    of 
    you 

    Back 
    when 
    you 
    were 
    Romeo 

    and 
    I 
    was 
    Juliet 

    West 
    Texas 
    Capulet 
    and 
    Montague 

    Verse 2
    Now 
    I 
    don't 
    think 
    too 
    much 
    about 

    you 
    anymore 

    We weren't 
    much 
    more 
    than 
    kid
    s 

    It 
    was 
    nearly 
    twenty 
    years 
    ago 
    I 

    shut 
    and 
    locked 
    that 
    door 

    Now 
    I've 
    got 
    five 
    minutes 

    Not 
    much 
    time 
    to 
    reminisce 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 3
    Most 
    nights 
    I 
    come 

    home 
    from 
    work 
    and 
    I 
    pour 
    a glass 
    of wine 

    Some
    times 
    it's 
    three 

    or four 
    before 
    I 
    stop 

    And Jessie 
    makes 
    a sand
    wich 
    if 
    I 

    sleep 
    through 
    suppertime 

    And she 
    leaves 
    me 
    on 
    the couch 

    to sleep 
    it 
    off 

    Now 
    Jessie 
    just 
    turned 
    17 and she's 

    wild 
    as 
    she 
    can 
    be 

    And 
    there 
    ain't 
    nothin' 
    I 
    can 
    do 

    Last 
    weekend 
    she 
    ran 
    off 
    to 
    meet 

    a boy 
    in 
    Tennessee 

    Just 
    like 
    I 
    used 
    to 
    run 
    to you 

    Verse 4

    I 
    gave 
    her 
    hell 
    when 
    she 
    came 

    home 
    this 
    afternoon 

    Mascara 
    runnin' 
    down 
    her 
    face 

    Seems 
    like 
    history 
    repeats 
    itself, 

    and 
    it 
    ain't 
    up 
    to 
    you 

    And 
    in 
    five 
    minutes 

    Your 
    whole 
    life 
    can 
    change 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 5
    Andy 
    he's 
    good 
    to 
    me, 

    and 
    I 
    can see 
    it 
    in 
    his 
    eyes 

    He'd 
    love 
    to take 
    your 
    place 

    But somethin' 
    deep 
    inside 
    me 

    just 
    withers 
    up 
    and 
    dies 

    To 
    make 
    love 
    to 
    him 
    and 

    only 
    see 
    your 
    face 


    Verse 6
    Somehow 
    I've 
    let 
    myself 
    go 

    gently 
    down 
    the stream 

    A 
    fine 
    example 
    I 
    have set 

    Between 
    the 
    work
    ing 
    and 
    the livin' 
    and 

    the 
    ghost
    s 
    that 
    haunt 
    my 
    dreams 

    I've 
    got 
    five 
    minutes 
    and 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    smoke 

    this 
    cigarette

      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.
