    • Verse 1
    When 
    I saw 
    you 
    on 
    the market, 

    stand
    ing 
    by 
    the phone 

    With 
    your 
    hair 
    as 
    dark 
    as 
    this, 

    how 
    could 
    you 
    be 
    alone 

    All 
    the ghosts 
    in 
    love 
    with 
    you, 

    they craned 
    their 
    sorry 
    necks 

    Like 
    a Vien
    nese 
    machine 
    that's 

    just 
    discovered 
    sex 


    Verse 2
    When 
    I saw 
    you 
    on 
    the bridge, 

    you 
    had 
    to 
    look 
    away 

    If 
    I 
    thought 
    to follow 
    you, 

    I'd 
    just 
    get 
    in the 
    way 

    Reaching 
    for 
    eternity, 

    reaching 
    for 
    a 
    chair 

    Reaching 
    for 
    the woman 
    who 
    is 

    nev
    er 
    even 
    there, 
    boys 

    Never 
    even 
    there 

    Verse 3

    When 
    I saw 
    your fingers 
    folded 

    round 
    your 
    al
    batross 

    Staring 
    through 
    the kit
    chen 
    wall 

    at 
    everything 
    you've 
    lost 

    Losing 
    comes 
    so 
    easily 
    when 

    you 
    acquire 
    the taste 

    Life 
    is 
    long 
    and 
    life 
    is 
    lost 
    and 

    life 
    is 
    such 
    a 
    waste, 
    boys 

    Life 
    is 
    just 
    a 
    waste 

    Verse 4
    See 
    the 
    wrinkles 
    in 
    my 
    hand, 

    I 
    am 
    the 
    lizard's 
    son 

    Wait
    ing 
    for 
    the 
    alchemist 
    to 

    touch 
    me 
    with 
    the sun 

    When 
    I saw 
    your 
    photograph, 

    I 
    knew 
    we'd 
    never 
    meet 

    You 
    were called 
    Idonia, and 
    I 

    stayed 
    in 
    the street, 
    boys 

    I 
    stayed 
    in 
    the 
    street 

    Verse 5

    When 
    I saw 
    your 
    eyes 
    were closed, 

    that 
    was 
    the best 
    thing 
    yet 

    Then 
    you 
    drove 
    a caravan 

    across 
    this 
    flimsy 
    set 

    Crushed 
    beneath 
    your 
    wheels 
    still, 

    my 
    heart 
    goes 
    beating 
    on 

    Beating 
    for 
    Idonia and 
    everything 
    she's 
    done, 

    boy 

    Everything 
    she's 
    done 

    Verse 6
    When 
    I saw 
    your pharaoh 
    coming, 

    handsome 
    gypsy 
    lad 

    With 
    his 
    memory 
    still 
    wet 

    from 
    all 
    the fun 
    he 
    had 

    Funny 
    how 
    your ceiling 
    is 
    some

    body 
    else's 
    floor 

    Feeling 
    for 
    Ido
    nia beside 

    a market 
    store, 
    boys 

    Who 
    won't 
    be 
    back 
    no 
    more

      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.
