    Verse 1
    As 
    we were 
    talking 
    outside 

    It 
    was 
    cold 

    We 
    were 
    shivering, 

    yet 
    warmed 
    by 
    the sub
    ject 
    mat
    ter 

    Verse 2
    My 
    wife 
    is in 
    the next 
    room 

    We've 
    been having 
    troubles 
    you know 

    Please 
    don't 
    tell 
    her 
    or 
    anyone 

    But I 
    need 
    to talk 
    to 
    somebody 

    Verse 3
    You 
    said, 

    wouldn't 
    it be 
    a shame 
    if I knew 
    how 
    great 
    was 

    Five 
    minutes 
    before 
    I died? 
    I'd be 

    filled 
    with such 
    regret 

    Before 
    took my 
    last 
    breath 

    And 
    I said, 
    you're 
    willing 

    to tell 
    me 
    this 
    now 

    And you're 
    not 
    going 
    to 
    die 

    Anytime 
    soon 

    And I said, 
    haven't 

    been 
    eating 
    chicken 

    Or 
    meat 
    or anything 

    Verse 4
    And you 
    said 
    yes 
    But 

    you've 
    been 
    wearing 
    leather 

    And 
    laughed 
    and said 

    We're at the top 
    of 
    the food 
    chain 

    And yes, 
    you're still 
    a fine 
    woman 

    And 
    cringed 

    Verse 5
    was 
    hoping 

    was 
    hop
    ing 
    we 
    could 
    heal 
    each 
    other 

    was 
    hoping 

    was 
    hop
    ing 
    we 
    could 
    be 

    Interlude 1
    raw 
    together 



    Verse 6
    We 
    left the 
    restaurant 
    Where the 

    head 
    waiter 
    in his 
    60s, said 

    Good
    bye, 
    sir, 
    thank 
    you for 
    your 

    busi
    ness sir 

    You're success
    ful 
    and established, 

    sir 

    We like 
    the 
    frequency 
    with 

    which 
    you dine 
    here, sir 

    And 
    your 
    money 

    And 
    when 
    walked 
    by, 

    they said 
    thank 
    you too, 
    dear 

    I was 
    all 
    pigtails 
    and 
    cords 

    And there was 
    a day 
    when I 

    would've 
    said 
    something 
    like 

    Hey 
    dude, 
    could 
    buy 
    and 

    sell 
    this 
    place, 
    so 
    kiss 
    it 

    too 
    once 
    thought 
    was 

    owed 
    something 

    Verse 7
    was 
    hoping 

    was 
    hoping 
    we 
    could 

    challenge 
    each 
    other 

    was 
    hoping 

    was 
    hop
    ing 
    we 
    could crack 

    each 
    other 
    up 

    I too 
    thought 
    that 
    when 
    proved 
    Verse 8
    wrong, 

    lost 
    some
    how 

    I too 
    once 
    thought 
    life 
    was 
    cruel 

    And 
    it's 
    a cycle, 
    really 

    You think 
    I'm 
    withdrawing 

    and guilt 
    tripping 
    you 

    I think 
    you're insensitive 
    and 

    I don't 
    feel 
    heard 

    Verse 9
    (And I said 
    do you 
    believe 
    we 

    are) 

    Fundamentally judgmental? 

    Fundamentally 
    evil? 

    And 
    you said 
    yes 

    said, I 
    don't believe 
    in revenge 

    In 
    right 
    or wrong, 
    good 
    or bad 

    You said 
    well, 

    what 
    about the 
    man 
    that I 
    saw 

    Handcuffed 
    in the emer
    gency 
    room 

    Bleeding 
    after 
    beating 
    his 
    kid 

    And she 
    threw 
    a shoe 
    at 
    his head 

    And I 
    think 
    what he 
    did 
    was 
    wrong 

    And I 
    would've 
    have had 

    a hard 
    time 
    feeling 

    Compassion 
    for 
    him 

    I had 
    to 
    watch 
    my 
    tone 
    for fear 

    of 
    having 
    you feel 
    judged 

    Verse 10
    was 
    hoping 

    was 
    hoping 
    we 
    could 
    dance 
    together 

    was 
    hoping 

    was 
    hoping 
    we 
    could 
    be 
    creamy 
    together

    • 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.
