    Verse 1
    Things 
    are 
    gettin' 
    better 
    but 

    right 
    now 
    it's 
    not 
    looking 
    great 

    My 
    ceiling 
    still 
    is 
    spinning 
    from 

    a night 
    that 
    went 
    too 
    late 

    used 
    to sleep 
    this 
    off 
    and 
    let 
    the 

    shame 
    just 
    melt 
    away 

    But not 
    for 
    tiny 
    feet 
    in 
    hall

    ways 
    calling 
    out 
    my 
    name 

    Verse 2
    It's 
    not 
    that 
    don't 
    love 
    you, 

    wouldn't 
    touch 
    the 
    hands 
    of 
    time 

    It's 
    not 
    that 
    don't 
    long 
    to 

    feel 
    your 
    tiny 
    hand 
    in 
    mine 

    I'm 
    not 
    a perfect 
    woman, 
    Lord, 

    I don't 
    wish 
    it 
    all 
    away 

    My 
    name 
    can't 
    be 
    Mama 

    Interlude 1
    today 


    Verse 3
    Today 
    I didn't 
    listen 
    to 
    the voice 

    inside 
    my 
    head 

    I peeled 
    out 
    of 
    the driveway 
    left 

    my 
    family 
    in 
    bed 

    Know 
    it 
    wouldn't 
    be 
    easier 
    to 
    just 

    quit 
    the 
    road 
    and 
    stay 
    home 

    I'd 
    lose 
    myself 
    inside 
    the 
    halls, 

    un
    satisfied 
    and 
    alone 

    Verse 4
    Sometimes 
    all 
    want 
    is 
    to 

    run 
    back 
    to 
    you 
    at 
    night 

    To 
    rock 
    you 
    to sleep, 

    to 
    keep 
    the 
    blues 
    out 
    of 
    your 
    eyes 

    I'm 
    not 
    the kind 
    of 
    woman 
    that 

    would 
    throw 
    it 
    all 
    away 

    But 
    my 
    name 
    can't 
    be 
    Mama 
    today 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 5
    drive 
    my 
    mother 
    crazy 
    out 
    here 

    traveling 
    the world 

    Free- 
    wheeling 
    in 
    the city, 

    I'm 
    a solit
    ary 
    girl 

    I'm 
    living 
    in 
    the 
    moment, 

    knowing 
    there 
    might 
    come 
    a day 

    But 
    my 
    name 
    can't 
    be 
    Mama 
    today, 

    uh- 
    uh 

    Verse 6
    It's 
    not 
    that 
    don't 
    want 
    to, 

    just 
    don't 
    want 
    to 
    today 

    I'm 
    not 
    a fan 
    of mornings 

    and 
    love 
    my 
    chardonnay 

    No, 
    I'm 
    not 
    saying 
    never, 

    won't 
    wish 
    it 
    all 
    away 

    But 
    my 
    name 
    can't 
    be 

    Mama 
    today, 
    oh 
    no 

    My 
    name 
    can't 
    be 
    Mama 
    today

    • 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.
