    • Verse 1
    (Wha- 
    at? Fuck you, 
    I'm walking 
    out. 
    It's 
    my 


    apartment.) 

    Verse 2
    Green striped 
    sheets 
    left 
    dead 
    for 
    me 

    Now 
    I 
    am 
    free 
    to 
    bury 
    heavy 
    bodies 

    Once 
    we 
    three 
    had 
    slept 
    soundly 

    But 
    I 
    couldn't 
    keep 
    them 
    around 

    Fold 
    the 
    blankets 
    down 

    And 
    found 
    new 
    sleeping 
    ground
    s 

    Verse 3
    As 
    springs 
    squeaking 

    Tires 
    squealing 
    away 
    from 
    one 
    another 

    We 
    all 
    used 
    to 
    be 
    lovers 

    Here 
    bodies 
    playing, 
    slay 
    them, 

    stay 
    like 
    them, 
    boxes 
    stacked 

    Same 
    way, 
    labeled 
    and 
    separated, 
    hey 

    Verse 4
    Go 
    ahead take 
    the 
    couch 
    I 
    know 
    I 
    don't 

    wanna 
    sit 
    here 
    next 
    to nobody 

    Go 
    ahead take 
    the 
    fridge, 

    I know 
    I 
    don't 
    want 
    you 
    going 
    hungry 

    Go 
    ahead 
    take the 
    cat, 

    I know 
    you're 
    only 
    gonna 
    be 
    coming 
    back 

    Oh 
    go 
    ahead 
    take 
    it all, 

    I know 
    how 
    you've 
    been 
    wanting 
    to 

    Settle 
    down, 
    down, 
    down 

    Oh- hoo, 
    has 
    it always 
    been 

    settling 
    down? 

    Down, 
    down 

    Verse 5
    The 
    one 
    on the 
    left 
    says 
    to the 
    one 
    on 
    the right 

    "I 
    could 
    make 
    a very 
    good wife 
    for 
    you" 

    The 
    one 
    on 
    the right 
    says 
    to the 
    one 
    on 
    the left 

    "Let's 
    take 
    this one 
    step 
    at 
    a time" 

    The one 
    on 
    the 
    right 
    says 
    to 
    the one 
    on

    I 
    need 
    you 
    all 
    the 
    time" 

    The 
    on 
    the

    on 
    the right 

    "I 
    think 
    I changed 
    my 
    mind" 

    Verse 6

    I 
    can't 
    help 
    but 
    think 
    my 

    insides 
    have 
    to 
    sing 

    They're 
    the 
    waking, 
    the 
    better 
    of 
    me 

    And my 
    insides 
    have 
    to sing 

    A song 
    for 
    the sad 
    ones 
    who say 
    they'll 
    marry, 

    they 
    guess 

    She's 
    wearing 
    a white 
    dress, 

    if 
    he behaves 
    his 
    very 
    best 

    Songs 
    for 
    the sad 
    ones 
    who say 
    they'll 
    marry, 

    they 
    guess 

    She's 
    wearing 
    a white 
    dress, 

    if 
    he behaves 
    his

    best 

    Songs 
    for 
    the sad 
    ones 
    who say 
    they'll 
    marry, 

    they 
    guess 

    She's 
    wearing 
    a white 
    dress, 

    if 
    he behaves 
    his 
    very 
    best 

    Songs 
    for 
    the sad 
    ones 
    who say 

    they'll 
    marry, 
    they 
    guess 

    She's 
    wearing 
    a 
    white 
    dress, 

    Verse 7
    if 
    he behaves 
    his 
    very 
    best 

    That's 
    yes, 
    yes, yes, 
    yes, 

    yes, 
    yes, yes, 
    yes, 
    yeah 

    Yes,

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
