    Verse 1
    D
    G

    Not that
    D

    you want to be out of curiosity
    Em
    C

    Just a corsage of the world
    G
    Am

    I was in love with a girl,
    C
    D

    I would the violence foresee.
    G

    All that it ought to be,
    D

    blessed by generosity,
    Em
    C

    sure to put your heart in a whirl.
    G
    Am

    Stop to pick up a dollar bill,
    D

    as the blood drips at the mill.
    G

    Have you got fried chicken?
    D

    You ate it up so fast,
    Em
    C

    laid down its life just for you.
    G
    Am

    Now you have nothing to do,
    D

    just a television tube.
    G

    Though for goodness sake,
    D

    and the love you make,
    G
    Em
    C

    skipping stones at the lake.
    G
    Am

    You've got a half -baked idea,
    D

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

    Lost in your lonely room,
    D

    how they grow up and bloom,
    Em
    C

    young girls in the magazine,
    G
    Am

    how they took part in your doom,
    D

    babies step out of the womb,
    G

    hunger and lust for life,
    D

    she was like any housewife,
    Em
    C

    darning the socks with concern.
    G
    Am

    Glad you ever were born,
    D

    just to get up in the morn.
    G

    Though all the while
    D

    you were surrounded by amateurs,
    Em
    C

    Breathing in love so insane
    G
    Am

    Thinking your hope was reframed
    D

    And the emotional pain
    G

    Nothing to do but cry
    D

    As you dry your eyes
    Em
    C

    Watching the soap opera die
    G
    Am

    Longing for the freedom of success
    D

    When we're all just a temporary guest
    G

    Living in such a mess,
    D

    I'll bring you back again
    Am
    C
    G
    C

    Just like you used to have been
    G
    Am

    How could you really win?
    D

    Pledging your existence to sin
    G

    We'll delight in the twilight,
    D

    anything to make it right,
    Em
    C

    when there's nothing left but nothing,
    G
    Am

    but an empty song,
    D

    why did it have to go wrong,
    G
    D

    how it all works out,

    something about it
    Em
    C

    so thinking that love is a crime
    G
    Am

    you were a friend of mine
    D

    standing there at this time
    G

    you're gonna make it
    D

    Joe love is sure to follow
    Em
    C

    happy to be that way
    G
    Am

    tomorrow is brand -new day
    D
    G
    D
    Em

    • 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.
