    Verse 1
    Light 
    snow 
    fall
    ing 

    On 
    the 
    muffler 
    shops 
    and 

    the lum
    ber 
    yards 

    The streets 
    are slick 
    as glass 

    Ditches 
    lined 
    with 
    stranded 
    cars 

    The tow 
    trucks 
    are busy 

    Dealing 
    with 
    the 
    evening 
    rush 

    I might 
    have picked 
    better 
    day 

    I probably 
    shouldn't 
    expect 

    that 
    much 

    Verse 2
    (I'm just) On 
    the 
    outskirts 

    Of 
    an 
    old 
    fa
    miliar 
    town 

    With 
    a misty 
    darkness 
    coming 
    down 

    On 
    the 
    fringes 

    Outside 
    looking 
    in 

    She says 
    Well 
    now 
    where 

    you 
    been 

    Didn't 
    expect 
    you 
    back 
    again 

    Trying 
    to 
    get 
    out 
    of 
    the wind 

    Interlude 1
    Are 
    you 
    now 



    Verse 3
    Standing 
    on 
    the 
    doorstep 

    Something 
    doesn't 
    feel 
    the same 

    Strange 
    car 
    in 
    the driveway 

    I guess 
    I really 
    can't 
    complain 

    wonder 
    should 
    even 
    knock 

    Or Just 
    head 
    out 
    on 
    my 
    way 

    And It's 
    an 
    awkward 
    mo
    ment 

    Star
    ing 
    at 
    the floor 

    Interlude 2
    Filling 
    up 
    the 
    ashtray 





    Verse 4
    Cold 
    coffee 

    Styrofoam cup 
    from 
    the Stop 
    'n 
    go 

    Throw 
    it 
    in 
    the 

    floorboard 

    Catch the weather 
    on 
    the radio 

    Freezing 
    rain 

    Continued 
    on 
    through 
    the morning 

    Travel
    ers' advisory 

    I'll 
    give 
    a little 
    more 
    warning 

    next 
    time 

    Verse 5
    (I'm just) On 
    the 
    outskirts 

    Of 
    an 
    old 
    fa
    miliar 
    town 

    With 
    a misty 
    darkness 

    coming 
    down 

    On

    • 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.
