Tuesday morning, 8:15

I was riding to work on the

Jackson Park Express
C

Seemed like any other day
D

Then my whole world changed
G
F

In a way I never could
A

have guessed
G
A

'Cause she walked in
C
D
A

Took the seat right across the aisle
G

I knew we had a special
A

connection
C

The second I saw her smile
Verse 2
G

A

She smiled as if to say
D

"Hello, haven't seen you
Bm
D
G

on this bus before"
A

I gave her a look that said
D

"Huh, life is funny,
Bm
D
Em

you never know what's in store
G
A

By the way, your hair is beautiful
C
D

I bet it smells like rais ins"
Verse 3
G

F
D

She looked at me in a way that asked

"Did you have a nose job
Bm
C

or something?
G

I'm only asking,
C
Bb

cause your nose looks slightly bet ter
A
Am

Than the rest of your face"
G
F

I arched my eyebrow, ever so slightly
A

Which was my way of asking
G
D
Bm

"Do you want my old
D
G

Hewlett- Packard printer?
F
D

It still works, kinda
Bm
D

And I got a bunch of ink cart
G

ridges left"
E
Verse 4
A

G
A
G

Then, she let out a long sigh
A

Which, I took to mean, "Uh"
D
G

"Mama, what is that
A

deodorant you're wearing?

It's intoxicating
D
G

Why don't we drive out to
E
F#

the country sometime?
G
D

And collect deer ticks in a zip- lock
G
D
Em
D

baggie", oh yeah
F#

Verse 5

D
Bm
G

I gave her a penetrating stare
F#
D

Which could only mean
G
D

"You are my answer ,
G
D

my answer to everything
F
C

Which is why, I'll probably do very poorly
G

On the written part of my
D

driver's test"

Verse 7
A

G

I knew she was starting
A

to fall for me

'Cause she crinkled her nose,
D

which unmistakably meant
C
Bb

"Baby, lets wear each other's clothes
A

And speak in a thick German accent
Bb

And, maybe someday we
F
C

can own and operate
Dm
Bb
C

Our own mobile pet-
F
A
Dm

grooming service"
Bb

I couldn't hold back my feelings
F
C
Eb

I gave her a look, that said

"I would make any sac
Bb
F

rifice for your love
Eb

Goat, chicken, whatever
Bb

I could never hold you close enough
F

Let's have our bodies
Eb

surgically grafted together
Bb
F
Gb

Oh, surgically grafted together"
Verse 8
Ab

She picked up a newspaper,
Fm
Bbm

and started reading to herself
B

Which I'm sure,
Gb
Ab
Db

was a way of telling me
B
Gb
Db

"When you're cold, I will warm you
B

When you're shivering,
Gb
Db

I will hold you
B

When your nauseous,
Gb

I will give you Pepto- Bismol every hour
E
C

For as long as the symptoms persist"

Oh, I, I never,

Em

ever want to see you cry
C
G

So, please let me cauterize your tear
C
Am
G

ducts with an arc welder
D

Then, I glanced down,
A
Gb
Bm

at her shirt, for a second
G
D
A

In a way that clearly implied
D

"I like your boobs"

Verse 10
F

G

I cleared my throat quietly,
Em
Am

and then, I looked away
Bb

And I'm sure it was obvious to her,
F
C

just what I was trying to say
Dm
Eb

I was trying to say, "Hey
Bb
F

I'd like to make a wall- sized mural
C
Dm
Eb

out of all the dead skin cell s
Bb

That you slough off while
F

you sleep at night"

Whoa- o- Oh,
Eb
Bb
F

"I'd like to rip you wide open
C
D
Eb

And french- kiss every single
Bb
F

one of your internal organs
Eb

Oh, I'd like to remove all your skin,
Bb
F
Eb

and wear your skin, over my own skin
Bb

But not in a creepy way"
F
Verse 11

Ab
Eb

Then, I'm pretty sure, she looked at me,
Bb
F

out of the corner of her good eye
Ab
Eb

And, though, she never spoke a word,
F
Bb

this is exactly what I heard
Eb

She was saying, "Oh!
Ab
Db
Ab

I wanna make out with you, in an abandoned toll- booth,
Db
Ab

in the middle of a monsoon
Eb
Ab

I wanna ride dolphins with you,
Db

in the moonlight
Ab

Ab
Eb

Until the staff at Sea World kicks us out
Ab
Db

I want you inside me, oh,
Ab
Eb
Ab

like a tapeworm"
Eb
Verse 12
E

A

I pointed to the side of my mouth,
B
Ab
A

as a way of indicating
E

"Hey, I think you got something on
B
Ab

the side of your mouth"
F#
B

She licked the corner of her lips,
A

as if to say
E
A

"Here?", I nodded, implying,
B
E

"Yeah, you got it"
Verse 13
A
E
B

And, then the bus stopped, at 53rd Street,
Ab

and she got up suddenly
C#m
A
E
B

"Where are you going?", pleaded my eyes,
Ab
C#m

"Baby, don't you do this to me
C
G

Think of the beautiful children
D
C

we could have someday
G

We could school them at home,
D
Em

raise them up the right way
F

And protect them from
C

the evils of the world
D
Bm
Em

Like Trigonometry and Prime Numbers,
C
G

oh no
D
G

Baby, please don't go"
Verse 14
Am

C
Am

She brushed my leg, as she left the bus
G

I'm sure that was her way of saying

"I'm sorry this just isn't
C

working out
D
G

You're suffocating me
F
G

I need some space to find out
F
C
D

what life's all about
Em
F

So, goodbye forever, my love"
G
Verse 15

D
A

And deep inside, I knew she was right
D
G
D
A
C

It was time for us both to move on
G
D

And no, I never got her number,
C

oh no no
G

She never bothered to leave
D

her address, oh
C
G

But, as long as I live, I'll never forget
A

Those precious moments

we shared 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.
