    Verse 1
    Well 
    grey 
    clouds 
    wrapped 
    round 

    the 
    town 
    like 
    elastic 

    Cars 
    stood 
    like 
    toys 

    made 
    of 
    Taiwanese 
    plastic 

    The 
    boy 
    laughed 
    at 
    the 
    spastic 

    dancing 
    around 
    in 
    the 
    rain 

    While 
    laundrettes 
    cleaned 
    clothes, 

    high 
    heels 
    rub 
    toes 

    Puddles 
    splashed 
    huddles 
    of 
    bus 
    stop 
    crows 

    Dressed 
    in 
    their 
    suits 
    and 
    their 
    boots 

    Well 
    they 
    all 
    look 
    the 
    same 

    Pre-chorus 1
    took 
    myself 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    cafe 
    to 
    find 
    all 

    The 
    boys 
    lost 
    in 
    books 
    and 
    crackling 
    vinyl 

    And 
    carved 
    out 
    poem 

    a
    bove 
    the 
    urinal 
    that 
    read 

    Chorus 1
    Don't 
    you 
    cry 
    for 
    the 
    lost 

    Smile 
    for 
    the 
    living 

    Get 
    what 
    you 
    need 

    and 
    give 
    what 
    you're 
    giv
    en 

    Life's 
    for 
    the 
    living 
    so 
    live 
    it 

    Interlude 1
    Or 
    you're 
    better 
    off 
    dead 





    Verse 2
    While 
    the 
    evening 
    pulled 
    the 
    moon 

    out 
    of 
    it's 
    packet 

    Stars 
    shone 
    like 
    buttons 

    on 
    an 
    old 
    man's 
    jacket 

    We 
    needed 
    nail 
    but 
    we 
    tacked 
    it 

    'til 
    it 
    fell 
    of 
    the 
    wall 


    While 
    pigeon's 
    pecked 
    trains, 

    sparks 
    flew 
    like 
    planes 

    The 
    rain 
    showed 
    the 
    rainbows 

    in 
    the 
    oil 
    stains 

    And 
    we 
    all 
    had 
    new 
    iPhone's 

    but 
    no 
    one 
    had 
    no 
    one 
    to 
    call 


    Pre-chorus 2
    And 
    stumbled 
    down 

    to 
    the 
    stomach 
    of 
    the 
    town 

    Where 
    the 
    widow 
    takes 
    memories 

    to 
    slowly 
    drown 

    With 
    hand 
    to 
    the 
    sky 

    and 
    mist 
    in 
    her 
    eye, 
    she 
    said 


    Chorus 2
    Don't 
    you 
    cry 
    for 
    the 
    lost 

    Smile 
    for 
    the 
    living 

    Get 
    what 
    you 
    need 

    and 
    give 
    what 
    you're 
    giv
    en 

    Life's 
    for 
    the 
    living 
    so 
    live 
    it 

    Interlude 2
    Or 
    you're 
    better 
    off 
    dead 





    Verse 3
    Well 
    I'm 
    sick 
    of 
    this 
    town, 

    this 
    blind 
    man's 
    forage 

    They 
    take 
    your 
    dreams 
    down 

    and 
    they 
    stick 
    them 
    in 
    storage 

    You 
    can 
    have 
    them 
    back 
    son 

    when 
    you've 
    paid 
    off 

    your 
    mortgage 
    and 
    loans 

    Oh 
    hell 
    with 
    this 
    place, 

    I'll 
    go 
    it 
    my 
    own 
    way 

    I'll 
    stick 
    out 
    my 
    thumb 

    and 
    trudge 
    down 
    the 
    highway 

    Someday 
    someone 
    must 
    be 
    going 

    my 
    way 
    home 

    Pre-chorus 3
    Till 
    then 
    I'll 
    make 
    my 
    bed 
    from 
    disused 
    car 

    With 
    mattress 
    of 
    leaves 

    and 
    blanket 
    of 
    stars 

    And 
    I'll 
    stitch 
    the 
    words 
    into 
    my 
    heart 

    with 
    needle 
    and 
    thread 

    Chorus 3
    Don't 
    you 
    cry 
    for 
    the 
    lost 

    Smile 
    for 
    the 
    living 

    Get 
    what 
    you 
    need 

    and 
    give 
    what 
    you're 
    giv
    en 

    You 
    know 
    life's 
    for 
    the 
    living 
    so 
    live 
    it 

    Or 
    you're 
    better 
    off 
    dead 


    Outro 1
    Don't 
    you 
    cry 
    for 
    the 
    lost 

    Smile 
    for 
    the 
    living 

    Get

    you 
    need

    • 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.
