    Verse 1
    This 

    window 
    makes 
    perfect 
    frame 

    For 

    New 

    England 
    views 
    like painted 
    rain 

    They 
    hold 
    me 
    as I 
    hold 
    this 
    train, 

    all shadows 
    on 
    a dime 

    You 
    move 
    forward 
    fast 
    by 
    holding 
    back 

    You 
    gauge 
    your 
    steps 

    and you don't 
    look 
    slack 

    Yeah, 
    I'm 
    looking 
    backward 

    down 
    the 
    track 

    To see 
    us dreamers 
    in 
    our prime 

    poured 
    my 
    soul 
    in 

    Santa 

    Cruz 

    ached 
    all night, 

    next 
    day 
    I lost 
    my shoes 

    It's so 
    optional, 

    what you may 
    or 
    may not 
    lose 

    In 
    this 
    pattern 
    we 
    call 
    time 

    Fifteen 
    years 
    ago 
    I worked 
    the 
    line 

    With 
    a thousand 
    more 
    all 
    due in 
    time 

    While 
    a foreman 
    smiled, 
    complicit 
    crime 

    We 
    were strangers 
    to 
    the plan 

    An 
    old, 
    old woman 
    ran 
    the 
    gear 

    She couldn't 
    mow 

    They said 
    she'd 
    been 
    there 40 
    years, 

    think 
    that's 
    rude 

    Cause 
    40 
    years 
    is 
    40 
    years, 

    and 
    I was only 
    15 
    then 

    And 
    the 
    work weights 

    wore 
    upon 
    our 
    backs 

    An
    we gauged 
    our steps 
    and 

    we didn't 
    look 
    slack

    And 
    one 
    day 
    the old wo

    man didn't 
    come 
    back 

    I could
    n't work 
    so 

    well and 
    they let 
    me go 

    But 
    I don't 
    forget 
    about 
    the 
    factory 

    don't 
    expect 
    this 
    ride 
    to 
    always 
    be 

    Can 
    I give 
    you what 
    you'll 
    want to 
    see? 

    Will 
    we do 
    it 
    one more 
    time? 

    Ten 
    years 
    have worn 
    this 
    guitar 
    down 

    Its 
    ivory 
    whites 
    are 
    now 
    mustard 
    brown 

    Its 
    face 
    bears 
    cracks 
    from 
    every 
    town 

    Still 
    it 
    resonates 
    with 
    age 

    Where 
    would 
    be 
    without 
    its 
    ring? 

    Who 
    would 
    I be 
    if 
    I didn't 
    sing? 

    For 
    half 
    a chance 
    you 
    spare 
    nothing 

    tethered 
    bird to 
    tethered 
    cage 

    sing 
    to you 
    to 
    feel 
    the dream 

    call 
    to you 
    though 
    it's 

    a muted 
    scream 

    We're 
    one 
    -on 
    -one projected 

    beams 

    Translu
    cent 
    future, 
    be 
    our 
    sage 

    years 
    have 
    played 
    since 

    she 
    warmed my 
    side 

    She 
    is 
    my gift, 
    I've 
    loved 
    and cried 

    With 
    her level 
    look, 
    she 
    is my 
    guide 

    spirit 
    on 
    the 
    way 

    Our 
    love 
    has 
    jostled 
    like 
    this 
    train 

    Or 
    like 
    the 
    moon to 
    wax 
    and wane 

    But 
    to know 
    somebody 
    worth 
    the strain, 

    have 
    one 
    gift 
    to 
    bring 

    cried 
    for 
    her 
    then I 
    let her 
    down 

    An
    she let 
    me 
    go and 

    then we 
    came 
    around 

    And 
    I felt 
    us 
    two 
    and I 
    felt the 
    ground 

    And 
    felt myself 
    believ
    ing 




    And 
    now 
    tired conductor 
    passes 
    by 

    He 
    takes 
    my 
    ticket with 
    a sigh 

    don't 
    think 
    he 
    meant 
    to catch 
    my 
    eye, 

    but 
    he doesn't 
    turn away 

    He 
    says, 

    have a 
    daughter 
    as 
    old 
    as you 

    And 
    there's really 
    nothing 

    anyone 
    else 
    can 
    do 

    Do 
    you play 
    guitar? 

    Well, good for 
    you, 
    may 
    I play 
    the 
    violin? 

    imagine 
    him 
    with 
    his 
    hair jet 
    black 

    Does 
    he 
    hide 
    his fiddle 
    in 
    the 
    back? 

    He 
    gauged 
    his 
    words 
    as the 

    train 
    went slack 

    The 

    New 

    York 
    train 
    stops 
    here 

    An
    I don't 
    forget 
    about 
    the 
    factory 

    don't 
    expect 
    this 
    ride 
    to 
    always 
    be 

    Can 
    I give 
    them 
    what they 
    want 
    to see? 

    Let me 
    do it 
    twice, 

    the 
    second 
    time 
    for 
    me 

    Cause 
    these 
    windows 
    make 

    a perfect 
    frame 

    Where 

    New 

    York 
    buildings 
    like 
    upright 
    trains 

    They 
    hold 
    me 
    as 
    I hold 
    the 
    rain 

    While 
    shadows 
    on 
    dime 

    you

    • 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.
