    Verse 1
    Not 
    that 

    you 
    want 
    to 
    be 
    out 
    of curiosity 

    Just 
    a 
    corsage 
    of 
    the 
    world 

    I 
    was 
    in 
    love 
    with 
    a 
    girl, 

    I 
    would 
    the 
    violence 
    fore
    see. 

    All 
    that 
    it 
    ought 
    to 
    be, 

    blessed 
    by 
    generosity, 

    sure 
    to 
    put 
    your heart 
    in 
    a whirl. 

    Stop 
    to 
    pick 
    up 
    a 
    dollar 
    bill, 

    as 
    the 
    blood 
    drips 
    at 
    the 
    mill. 

    Have 
    you 
    got 
    fried 
    chicken? 

    You 
    ate 
    it up 
    so 
    fast, 

    laid down 
    its 
    life 
    just 
    for 
    you. 

    Now 
    you 
    have 
    nothing 
    to 
    do, 

    just 
    a 
    television 
    tube. 

    Though 
    for 
    goodness 
    sake, 

    and 
    the 
    love 
    you 
    make, 

    skip
    ping 
    stones 
    at 
    the 
    lake. 

    You've 
    got 
    a 
    half 
    -baked 
    idea, 

    to 
    think 
    we'd 
    be 
    so 
    glad 
    to 
    see 
    ya. 

    Lost 
    in 
    your 
    lonely 
    room, 

    how 
    they grow 
    up 
    and 
    bloom, 

    young 
    girls 
    in 
    the 
    magazine, 

    how 
    they 
    took 
    part 
    in 
    your doom, 

    babies 
    step 
    out 
    of 
    the 
    wom
    b, 

    hunger 
    and 
    lust 
    for 
    life, 

    she 
    was 
    like 
    any 
    housewife, 

    darning 
    the socks 
    with 
    con
    cern. 

    Glad 
    you 
    ever 
    were 
    born, 

    just 
    to 
    get 
    up 
    in 
    the 
    morn. 

    Though 
    all 
    the 
    while 

    you 
    were 
    surrounded 
    by 
    amateurs, 

    Breathing 
    in 
    love 
    so 
    in
    sane 

    Think
    ing 
    your 
    hope 
    was 
    re
    framed 

    And 
    the 
    emotional 
    pain 

    Noth
    ing 
    to 
    do 
    but 
    cry 

    As 
    you dry 
    your 
    eyes 

    Watching 
    the 
    soap 
    opera 
    die 

    Long
    ing 
    for 
    the 
    freedom 
    of 
    suc
    cess 

    When 
    we're 
    all 
    just 
    a 
    temporary 
    guest 

    Liv
    ing 
    in 
    such 
    a 
    mess, 

    I'll 
    bring 
    you 
    back 
    again 

    Just 
    like 
    you 
    used 
    to 
    have 
    been 

    How 
    could 
    you 
    really 
    win? 

    Pledging 
    your 
    existence 
    to 
    sin 

    We'll 
    delight 
    in the 
    twilight, 

    anything 
    to 
    make 
    it 
    right, 

    when 
    there's 
    nothing 
    left 
    but 
    noth
    ing, 

    but 
    an 
    empty 
    song, 

    why 
    did 
    it have 
    to 
    go 
    wrong, 

    how 
    it 
    all 
    works 
    out, 

    something 
    about 
    it 

    so 
    thinking 
    that 
    love 
    is 
    a 
    crime 

    you 
    were 
    a 
    friend 
    of 
    mine 

    standing 
    there 
    at 
    this 
    time 

    you're 
    gonna 
    make 
    it 

    Joe 
    love 
    is sure 
    to 
    follow 

    happy 
    to 
    be 
    that 
    way 

    tomorrow 
    is 
    brand 
    -new 
    day 

    what 
    do 
    you 
    have 
    to 
    say 



    Thank 
    you. 

    Thanks 
    for coming out 

    tonight. 

    I really appreciate 
    it. 

    Next 
    time I 
    come, 

    I 
    promise I'll 
    do a better show. 

    Thanks a 
    lot. 
    You

      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.
