  • Verse 1
    Mary, 

    this station 
    is 
    playing every 
    sad song 

    I remember 
    like we 
    were 
    alive 

    I heard 
    and sung 
    them all 
    from 

    inside 
    of 
    these walls 

    In a prison 
    cell, 

    where we 
    spent 
    those 
    nights 

    Verse 2
    And 
    they burned 
    up 
    the diner 

    where I always 
    used to find 
    her 

    Licking 
    young 
    boys' blood 

    from 
    her claws 

    And I learned 
    about 
    the blues 

    from 
    this kitten 
    knew 

    Her hair 
    was raven 
    and her heart 

    was like 
    a tomb 

    My heart's 
    like 
    a wound 

    And I 
    saw tail 
    light
    s last 
    Verse 3
    night 

    in a dream 
    about 
    my first 
    wife 

    Everybody 
    leaves 
    and I'd 

    expect 
    as much 
    from you 

    saw tail 
    light
    s last 
    night 

    in a dream 
    about 
    my old 
    life 

    Everybody 
    leaves, 
    so 
    why, 

    why 
    wouldn't 
    you? 

    Verse 4
    Mary, 
    I worried 
    and stalled 

    every night 
    of 
    my life 

    Better safe 
    than making 
    the party 

    An
    d I never 
    had 
    a good 
    time, 

    I sat 
    by 
    my bedside 

    With papers 
    and poetry 

    about 
    Estella 

    Verse 5
    With great 
    expecta
    tions 

    We had 
    the greatest 
    of 
    expecta
    tions 

    Verse 6
    And I 
    saw tail 
    light
    s last 
    night 
    in a dream 

    about 
    my first 
    wife 

    Everybody 
    leaves 
    and I'd 

    expect 
    as much 
    from you 

    saw tail 
    light
    s last 
    night 

    in a dream 
    about 
    my old 
    life 

    Everybody 
    leaves, 
    so 
    why, 

    why 
    would
    n't you? 

    Verse 7
    It's 
    funny how 
    the night 
    moves 

    Humming 
    a song 
    from 
    1962 We 
    were 

    always 
    waiting 


    Always 
    waiting 

    We 
    were 
    always 
    wait
    ing 

    for something 
    to happen 

    Verse 8
    saw tail 
    light
    s last 
    night 
    in a dream 

    about 
    my first 
    wife 

    Everybody 
    leaves 
    and I'd 

    expect 
    as much 
    from you 

    saw tail 
    light
    s last 
    night 

    in a dream 
    about 
    my old 
    life 

    Everybody 
    leaves 
    and 
    why, 

    why 
    wouldn't 
    you?

    • 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.
