    Verse 1
    Where 
    the 
    earth 

    shows 
    its 
    bones 
    of 
    wind-broken 
    stone 

    stone 

    And 
    the sea 
    and 
    the sky 
    are one 

    I'm 
    caught 
    out 
    of time, 

    my 
    blood 
    sings 
    with 
    wine 

    And I'm 
    running 
    naked 

    in 
    the sun 

    There's 
    God 
    in 
    the 
    trees, 

    I'm 
    weak 
    in 
    the knees 

    And 
    the sky 
    is 
    a 
    painful 
    blue 

    I'd 
    like 
    to look 
    around, 
    but 
    Honey, 

    all 
    I 
    see 
    is 
    you. 

    Verse 2

    The sum
    mer 
    city 
    lights 
    will 
    soften 
    the 
    night 

    Til 
    you'd 
    think 
    that 
    the 
    air 
    is 
    clear 

    And 
    I'm 
    sit
    ting 
    with 
    friends, 

    where 
    forty-five 
    cents 

    cents 

    Will 
    buy 
    another 
    glass 
    of 
    beer 

    He's 
    got 
    something 
    to say, 

    but 
    I'm so 
    far 
    away 

    That 
    I 
    don't 
    know 
    who 

    I'm 
    talking 
    to 

    'Cause 
    you 
    just 
    walked 
    in 
    the door, 

    and 
    Honey, 
    all 
    I 
    see 
    is 
    you 

    Verse 3

    [Chorus] 

    And I 
    just 
    want 
    to 
    hold 
    you 
    closer 
    than 

    I've 
    ever 
    held 
    any
    one 
    be
    fore 

    You say 
    you've 
    been 
    twice 
    a 
    wife 

    and 
    you're 
    through 
    with 
    life 

    Ah, 
    but Hon
    ey, 
    what 
    the 
    hell's 
    it 
    for? 

    After 
    twenty-three 
    years 
    years 

    you'd 
    think 
    I 
    could 
    find 

    A way 
    to 
    let 
    you 
    know 
    somehow 

    That I 
    want 
    to see 
    your smiling 
    face 
    forty-five 

    years 
    years 
    from 
    now. 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 4
    So 
    alone 
    in 
    the 
    lights 
    on 
    stage 
    every 
    night 

    I've 
    been 
    reaching 
    out 
    to 
    find 
    a friend 

    Who 
    knows 
    all 
    the words, 

    sings 
    so 
    she's 
    heard 

    And 
    knows 
    how 
    all 
    the stories 
    end 

    Maybe 
    after 
    the show 

    she'll 
    ask 
    me 
    to 
    go 

    Home 
    with 
    her 
    for 
    a 
    drink 
    or 
    two 

    Now 
    her smile 
    lights 
    her 
    eye
    s, 

    but 
    Honey, 
    all 
    I 
    see 
    is you 

    [Chorus: x2]

    • 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.”
