    Verse 1
    Please 
    no 
    more 
    therapy 

    Mother 
    take 
    care 
    of 
    me 

    Piece 
    me 
    together 
    with 
    a 

    Needle 
    and 
    thread 

    Wrap 
    me 
    in 
    eiderdown 

    Lace 
    from 
    your 
    wedding 
    gown 

    Fold 
    me 
    and 
    lay 
    me 
    down 

    On 
    your 
    bed 

    Or 
    liken 
    me 
    to 
    a shoe 

    Blackened 
    and spit-shined 
    through 

    through 

    Kicking 
    back 
    home 
    to 
    you 

    Smiling 
    back 
    home 

    Singing 
    back 
    home 
    to 
    you 

    Laughing 
    back 
    home 
    to you 

    Dragging 
    back 
    home 
    to 
    you 

    Verse 2
    I 
    was so 
    wary 
    then 

    The 
    ugly 
    American 

    Thinner 
    than 
    oxygen 

    Tough 
    as 
    a 
    whore 

    I 
    said 
    you 
    can lie 
    to me 

    I 
    own 
    what's 
    inside 
    of 
    me 

    And 
    nothing 
    surprises 
    me 
    anymore 

    But forests 
    in 
    Germany 

    Kids 
    in 
    the Tuileries 

    Broken-down 
    fortresses 

    fortresses 

    In 
    old 
    Ita
    ly 

    And 
    claiming 
    his 
    victory 

    Shrouded 
    in 
    mystery 

    He 
    went 
    run
    ning 
    away 

    with 
    me 

    Verse 3
    Back 
    in 
    our 
    home 
    New 
    York 

    Walking 
    these 
    streets 
    forlorn 

    We all 
    in 
    our 
    uniforms 

    Black 
    and 
    black 

    Doing 
    that 
    slouch 
    and 
    jive 

    The 
    artist 
    must 
    survive 

    We've 
    got 
    all 
    we 
    need 
    we 
    cried 

    And we 
    don't 
    look 
    back 

    Thinking 
    we 
    had 
    it 
    made 

    Poised 
    for 
    the 
    hit 
    parade 

    Knee 
    deep 
    in 
    accolades 

    The conceptual 
    pair 

    But 
    ever 
    the 
    malcontent 

    He 
    left 
    without 
    incident 

    Vanished 
    into 
    thin 
    air 

    Interlude 1



    Now 
    Verse 4


    I 
    am 
    always 
    amazed 

    Words 
    can 
    fill 
    up 
    a 
    page 

    Pages 
    fill 
    up 
    the 
    days 

    Between 
    him and 
    me 

    But the 
    vows 
    that 
    we 
    never 
    keep 

    From 
    bedrooms 
    to 
    busi
    ness-speak 

    Make 
    Make 
    me 
    remember 
    how 
    cheap 

    Words 
    can 
    be 

    And the 
    letters 
    I 
    wrote 
    you 
    of 

    Were 
    those 
    of 
    the 
    desperate 
    stuff 

    Like 
    begging 
    for 
    love 
    in 
    a 
    suicide 
    threat 

    But 
    I 
    am 
    too 
    young 
    to die 

    Too 
    old 
    for 
    a 
    lullaby 

    Too 
    tired 
    for 
    life 
    on 
    the ledge 

    But 
    Verse 5
    I 
    had 
    a 
    dream 
    last 
    night 

    Of lovers 
    who 
    walked 
    the plank 

    Out 
    on 
    the 
    edge 
    of 
    time 

    Amidst 
    ridicule 

    They 
    laughed 
    as 
    they 
    rocked 
    and reeled 

    Over 
    the min
    ing 
    fields 

    Coming 
    to 
    rest 
    on 
    this 
    ship 
    of 
    fools 

    But 
    he 
    just 
    took 
    Polaroids 

    Of 
    her smile 
    in 
    the 
    light 

    Of 
    the 
    dawn 
    of 
    the 
    menacing 
    sky 

    And be
    fore 
    they went 
    overboard 

    She 
    turned 
    and 
    held 
    up 
    a card 

    And 
    it said 
    Valentine

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
