    Bm

    "I was gonna talk about it,

    it's like a bit happier and brighter than I thought it would be"

    "Well, this isn't gonna be anywhere near the,
    C

    what the finished beat will be I don't reckon"
    Verse 2
    G

    On the footpath out the front

    of oxford arts

    Stinging for a stiff drink in a short glass
    Bm

    Junkies and cop cars rushing past
    C

    And I'm thinking there could be
    D

    a bit of mischief on the cards
    G

    It was a Friday night and the
    Bm

    treble was clanging
    G

    And the hipsters was hanging,

    and the ladies was banging
    Bm

    So uh, me and the fellas

    are looking for companions
    C

    In the corner chatting to these chicks,
    D

    tryna make it happen
    Am

    And as far as I can tell, it's all going swell
    D

    Vibing out, just hanging

    with my mademoiselle
    G

    But I wasn't planning on

    that everyman for himself
    Em

    When my boy's step in

    and start chatting as well
    Am

    I figure it's game over,

    that's stiff competition
    D

    See my man's got a way with women
    G

    Self fashioned casanova,

    the other has a lady at home, but
    Em

    He's still on a mission to fill his quota
    Am

    And sure enough,

    next thing you know they're both pairing up
    D

    And I'm back at square one thinking,

    'fuck it, I'm done'
    G

    So I catch a cab home down

    parramatta road
    Em

    Listen to the cabby chatter

    on his phone
    Am

    Breath fogging up the glass,

    city lights rushing past
    D

    Damn, I shoulda seen it coming

    from the start

    Back in the day I made a song I can't escape that got
    Verse 4
    D


    A strange response and either

    played a lot or hated on
    G

    Got asked a lot which cafe

    the song was based upon
    Em

    An d did you date at all? What ever

    happened to the waitress from it?
    Am

    Don't get me wrong,

    I'm about as nice as the bacon was
    D

    But fuck it, play along and humor me
    G

    As I rewind to 2008 and teleport,
    Em

    I'm staring at the salad fork

    She served me with the coffee

    that I drank in north
    G
    D

    Carlton half of the reason that I was
    Am
    D

    stuck with that piece of shit

    Cup of coffee was she was lovely
    G

    and made it for me

    The other half of the reason
    D

    I was so comfortable

    Eating there I was starved,
    Em

    it was cheap and I was so crazy poor
    G

    I never asked for her name
    D
    Am

    'cause I was so shy
    D
    G

    Once I'd written a rhyme about
    D

    her in case she thought I was crazy, or
    G

    Maybe she'd hate it so
    D

    I debated for ages

    And stayed away while I made up mind
    Em

    and ate at a sandwich store
    Am

    One day I thought, 'fuck it, I'll play it for her
    D

    She'll probably love

    it and throw her apron off
    G

    On the tabletop or some fucking

    fairytale in the making
    Em

    So later on I went back to that cafe

    holding "the waitress song"
    Am

    I walked up to the counter,
    D

    smiled and waited for her

    And then I found out that she was

    • 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.
