Parenthesis chords by
Jimmy Webb
Jimmy Webb

N/A
Verse 1
Em

Another draggy week behind me.

I wrote a song to help me hide it.

I took it to my publishers,

with a piece of me inside it.

They'll take it to some record man,

and he'll say the bridge is loose,

and the lyric needs some work.

And we've got no one to do this number anyway,

so good day.

And like a fountainhead of sorrow,

that has no place for flowing,
C
Em

The part of me that lingers there,

will have no field for growing,

And we'll die there on some dusty shelf

In the subtle suffocation

of the part of me I gave

And then soon I'll write a song

the way the others do

And then I'll be dead too

And like a fire slowly dying,

as one by one the embers blacken,

I miss the pieces of myself

that no one ever warmed

themselves beside.

Another draggy week before me,

and somewhere a song will find me.

I'll slice another piece of heart,

and leave it there behind me.

But perhaps I'll write a hit this year,

and you'll know me well.

I'll have my name there
Em

underneath the singer
Em

Look for the smallest letters

and that's where I'll be

In parentheses

  • 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.
