    Verse 1
    Now 
    in 
    my 
    younger 
    days 

    used 
    to 
    sport 
    shag 

    When 
    went 
    to 
    school 

    carried 
    lunch 
    in 
    bag 

    With 
    an 
    apple 
    for 
    my 
    teacher 

    'cause 
    knew 
    I'd 
    get 
    kiss 

    Always 
    got 
    mad 

    when 
    the 
    class 
    was 
    dismissed 

    But 
    when 
    it 
    was 
    in 
    session, 

    always 
    had 
    question 

    would 
    raise 
    my 
    hand 

    to 
    make 
    her 
    stagger 
    to 
    my 
    desk 

    and 
    he 
    helped 
    me 
    with 
    my 
    problem, 

    it 
    was 
    never 
    much 

    Just 
    trick, 
    to 
    smell 
    her 
    scent 

    and 
    try 
    to 
    sneak 
    touch 

    Verse 2
    Oh, 
    how 
    wish 

    could 
    hold 
    her 
    hand 

    and give her 
    hug 

    She 
    was 
    married 
    to 
    the 
    man, 
    he 
    was 
    thug 

    His 
    name 
    was 
    Lee, 
    he 
    drove 

    He'd 
    pick 
    her 
    up 
    from 
    school 

    promptly 
    at 
    three 
    o'
    clock 

    was 
    on 
    her 
    jock, 
    yes 
    indee
    dy, 

    wrote 
    graffiti 
    on 
    the 
    bus 

    First 
    I'd 
    write 
    her 
    name 
    then 
    carve 
    plus 

    With 
    my 
    name 
    last, 
    on 
    the 
    looking 
    glass 

    seen 
    her 
    yesterday 

    Chorus 1
    but 
    still 
    had 
    to 
    let 
    her 
    pass 

    She 
    keeps 
    on 
    passing 
    me 
    by 

    She 
    keeps 
    on 
    passing 
    me 
    by 

    She 
    keeps 
    on 
    passing 
    me 
    by 

    She 
    keeps 
    on 
    pass... 

    Verse 3
    When 
    dream 
    of 
    fairytales 

    think 
    of 
    me 
    and 
    Shelly 

    See 
    she's 
    my 
    type 
    of 
    hype 

    and 
    can't 
    stand 
    when 
    brothers 
    tell 
    me 

    That 
    should 
    quit 
    chasing 

    and 
    look 
    for 
    something 
    better 

    But 
    the 
    smile 
    that 
    she 
    shows 

    makes 
    me 
    go-getter 

    haven't 
    gone 
    as 
    far 
    as 
    asking 

    if 
    could 
    get 
    with 
    her 

    just 
    play 
    love 
    by 
    ear 

    and 
    hope 
    she 
    gets 
    the 
    picture 

    I'm 
    shooting 
    for 
    her 
    heart, 

    got 
    my 
    finger 
    on 
    the 
    trigger 

    She 
    could 
    be 
    my 
    broad, 
    and 
    could 
    be 
    her... 

    Verse 4
    All 
    can 
    do 
    is 
    stare 

    Back 
    as 
    kids 
    we 
    used 
    to 
    kiss 

    when 
    we 
    played 
    truth 
    or 
    dare 

    Now 
    she's 
    more 
    so
    phisticated, 

    highly 
    edu-ma-cated 

    Not 
    at 
    all 
    overrated, 

    think 
    need 
    prayer 

    To 
    get 
    in 
    her 
    book 
    and 
    it 
    looks 
    rather 
    dry 

    guess 
    twinkle 
    in 
    her 
    eye 

    is 
    just 
    twinkle 
    in 
    her 
    eye 

    Al
    though 
    she's 
    crazy 
    stepping, 

    I'll 
    try 
    to 
    stop 
    her 
    stride 

    'Cause 
    won't 
    have 
    no 
    more 

    of 
    this 
    passing 
    me 
    by 

    Verse 5
    (It's 
    time 
    for 
    me 
    to) 
    voice 
    my 
    opinion, 

    can't 
    be 
    pre
    tending 
    she 
    didn't 
    have 
    me 

    Sprung 
    like 
    chicken, 

    chasin' 
    my 
    tail 
    like 
    doggy 

    She 
    was 
    kind 
    of 
    like 
    star, 

    thinking 
    was 
    like 
    fan 

    Damn, 
    she 
    looked 
    good, 
    down
    side, 

    she 
    had 
    man 

    He 
    was 
    rooty-toot, 
    nincompoop 

    She 
    told 
    me 
    soon 
    your 
    little 
    birdy's 

    gonna 
    fly 
    the 
    coop 

    She 
    was 
    flake 
    like 
    corn, 

    and 
    was 
    born 
    not 
    to 
    under
    stand 

    By 
    letting 
    her 
    pass 

    Chorus 2
    proved 
    to 
    be 
    better 
    man 

    She 
    keeps 
    on 
    passing 
    me 
    by 

    She 
    keeps 
    on 
    passing 
    me 
    by 

    She 
    keeps 
    on 
    passing 
    me 
    by 

    She 
    keeps 
    on 
    passing 
    me...

    • 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.
