    Verse 1
    People 
    say 
    They're 

    jealous 
    of 
    me 

    Asking 
    all the 
    time 
    how 
    I can 
    be 
    so 
    lucky 

    And 
    how 
    they 
    wish 
    they'd 

    never 
    kissed 

    The single 
    life 
    goodbye 

    And 
    why 

    They struggle 
    every 
    day 

    To keep 
    from straying 

    They 
    want 
    my 
    life 

    They call 
    and me 
    a crafty 
    little 
    devil 

    They 
    think 
    I've 
    got 
    it made 

    That 
    my streets 
    are 

    paved 
    and golden 

    And I bath 
    in sun 
    rays 
    every 

    day 

    And everybody 
    tell 
    me 

    Not 
    to 
    be 
    afraid 

    To 
    gather 
    all 
    the harvest 

    That 
    the 
    good 
    Lord 
    made 

    Single 
    life 
    is not 
    what 
    it 
    ap
    pears 
    to 
    be 

    Hope 
    it's 
    not 
    how 
    fate 
    has 
    mapped 
    my 
    life 
    for 

    me 


    When 
    you sleep 

    You 
    sleep 
    alone 

    And you can 
    roll 
    right 
    to the 

    centre 
    of 
    the 
    bed 

    And 
    you 
    don't 
    have to 
    have 
    strength 

    For 
    anybody 
    else 

    And 
    you 
    never 
    have 
    to shout 

    To defend 
    yourself 

    You can 
    eat 
    cake 
    and 
    even ice 
    cream 

    And 
    you can 
    stay 
    out 
    really 
    late 

    And you can 
    bring 
    home 
    someone 

    To 
    make 
    you 
    feel 
    special 

    But 
    it's 
    for 
    a few 
    hours 

    Then 
    they go 
    away 

    And everybody 
    tell 
    me 

    Not 
    to 
    be 
    afraid 

    To 
    gather 
    all 
    the 
    harvest 

    That 
    the 
    good 
    Lord 

    made 

    Single 
    life 
    is not 
    what 
    it 
    ap

    pears 
    to 
    be 

    Hope 
    it's 
    not 
    how 
    fate 
    has 

    mapped 
    my 
    life 
    for 
    me 

    Single 
    life 
    is not 
    what 
    it 

    ap
    pears 
    to 
    be 

    Hope 
    it's 
    not 
    how fate 
    has 
    mapped 

    my 
    life 
    for 
    me 

    When 
    I see 
    two 
    people 

    They look 
    crazy 
    in love 

    A little 
    bit 
    of heaven 

    Shining 
    in their 
    eyes 

    Free 
    and single 
    sounds 

    exciting 
    and 
    it can 
    be 

    With 
    no warning 
    a great 
    adventure 
    calls 

    Hitch 
    a 
    ride 

    Every 
    time 
    I 
    think 
    I've 

    found 
    that 
    someone 

    I 
    awake 


    Single 
    life 
    is not 
    what 
    it 
    ap
    pears 
    to 
    be 

    Hope 
    it's not 
    how fate 
    has 

    mapped 
    my life 
    for 
    me 

    Single 
    life is 
    not 
    what it 

    appears 
    to 
    be 

    Hope it's not 
    how fate 
    has 

    mapped my 
    life 
    for 
    me 

    Single 
    life 
    is 
    not what 
    it 
    appears 
    to be 

    Hope 
    it's not how 
    fate 
    has mapped 

    my 
    life 
    for 
    me 

    Don't 
    obsess 

    But I'm 
    looking real 
    hard 

    It's a spice 
    that I'm 
    missing 

    From 
    the ingredients 

    I 
    got freedom 

    And 
    the money 
    that I work 
    for every 
    day 

    Could 
    buy me 
    a colour 

    But it 
    won't buy 
    me a 
    body 

    I 
    can feel 
    the language 

    The language 
    of 
    love 

    That's so 
    universal 

    Everybody 
    gets to speak 
    it 

    When they 
    fall in love 

    That's the 
    end of lonely 
    nights 

    And 

    Single 
    life

      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.
