    Verse 1
    He washed 
    all 
    the road 
    dirt 

    from 
    his 
    face 
    and 
    from 
    his neck 

    And 
    sat down 
    at 
    her table 
    and 

    she picked 
    up 
    his check. 

    And she 
    took him 
    home 
    for reasons 

    that she 
    did not 
    understand. 

    And 
    him, he 
    had 
    the answers 

    but did 
    not 
    play his 
    hand. 

    For 
    him 
    he 
    knew 
    the 
    taste 

    of this 
    wine 
    very 
    well. 

    It all 
    goes 
    down 
    so 
    easily 
    but the 

    next 
    day 
    is 
    hell. 

    Verse 2

    Morning 
    - "Man 
    was I 
    drunk," 

    she 
    wispered in 
    the shower. 

    While 
    he 
    lay 
    there 
    and 
    smoked 
    his way 

    there 
    through 
    the 
    final 
    hour. 

    And 
    she felt 
    wholly 
    empty 
    like she'd 

    felt 
    it 
    every 
    time. 

    And he was 
    feelin' 
    just 
    the same, 

    'cept 
    he was 
    tryin' 
    to 
    make 
    it rhyme. 

    Time 
    was 
    of 
    the 
    essence 
    so 

    they both 
    did 
    their best, 

    To 
    meet 
    up 
    in 
    the kitchen 

    feelin 
    fully 
    dressed. 

    She 
    just 
    had 
    to go 
    to work, 

    and 
    he just 
    had 
    to go. 

    And 
    she 
    knew 
    where 
    and 
    he knew 

    how 
    to 
    blow it 
    off 
    and so. 

    They 
    Verse 3
    shot 
    the breeze 
    quite 
    cavalier 

    to the 
    boilin' 
    of 
    the 
    pot. 

    And 
    sang 
    the Instant 
    Coffee 
    Blues 

    an
    d never 
    fired 
    a shot. 

    Verse 4
    And 
    him 
    he 
    hit 
    the driveway 

    with his 
    feelin's 
    in 
    a case. 

    And 
    her 
    she 
    hit 
    the stoplight 

    and 
    touched 
    up 
    her face. 

    So 
    you tell 
    them 
    the difference 

    between 
    caring 
    and not. 

    And that 
    it's all 
    done 
    with 
    mirrors, 

    lest 
    they 
    forgot. 

    I said 
    Verse 5
    it's all 
    done 
    with mirrors, 

    of 
    which 
    they 
    have 
    none. 

    To 
    blend 
    the 
    instant 
    coffee 
    blues 

    in
    to 
    the morning 
    sun

      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.
