  • Verse 1
    Darling, 
    that 
    morning 
    you 
    chose 
    to 
    go 

    awoke 
    in 
    my 
    boots 
    and 
    clothes 

    You 
    dig 
    in 
    my card
    s, 

    stole 
    all 
    my 
    cash 

    Even 
    my 
    five- 
    hundred 
    dollar 

    suit 
    was 
    slashed 

    And 
    just 
    lay 
    there 
    watching 
    the 

    sun 
    fall 
    down 
    from 
    the sky 

    Not 
    want
    ing 
    to 
    open 
    the letter 

    But opening 
    it anyway 

    And 
    seeing 
    those 
    two 
    words 

    Lover, 
    lover, 
    goodbye 
    Verse 2

    So 
    slowly 
    goes 
    the night 

    Next 
    to 
    me 
    lies 
    your 
    body 

    Laying 
    like 
    the map 
    of 

    some 
    forbidden 
    land 

    trace 
    the 
    ghosts 
    of 
    your 
    bones 

    With 
    my 
    trembling 
    hand 

    Dark 
    is 
    my 
    night 

    And 
    darker 
    is 
    my 
    day 
    yeah 

    must've 
    been 
    blind 

    Out 
    of 
    my 
    mind 

    never, 
    never 
    saw 
    the warning 
    signs 

    How 
    goes 
    it? 

    It 
    goes 
    lonely 

    It 
    goes 
    slowly 

    Verse 3

    So 
    slowly 
    goes 
    the night 

    Ten 
    lonely 
    days, 
    ten 
    lonely 
    nights 

    Come 
    on 

    watch 
    the 
    moon 
    get 
    flayed 
    each 
    night 

    Until 
    the moon 
    becomes 
    the 
    skinning 
    knife 

    The 
    skin
    s of 
    my 
    sins 
    send 
    to 

    cover 
    and 
    comfort 
    you 

    I know 
    of 
    Heaven 

    Oh, but 
    honey 
    know 
    of 
    Hell, 
    yeah 

    hang 
    my 
    head 

    I toss 
    in 
    my 
    bed 

    never, 
    never 
    forget 
    the 

    words 
    you 
    said 

    "One 
    evening, 
    I'm 
    leaving" 

    An
    d I 
    laughed 
    and 

    checked 
    her 
    breathing 

    And 
    said 
    darling 

    Verse 4
    Oh, 
    go 
    slowly 
    through 
    the 
    night 

    Oh 
    baby, 
    I feel 
    the 
    heal 
    of 
    time 

    And 
    it 
    hurts 

    wake 
    to 
    find 
    you 
    sitting 
    right 
    there 

    Cut
    ting 
    tangles 
    out of 
    your 
    hair 

    Singing 
    song 
    that's 
    all 
    wrong 

    Hey, 
    but 
    that's 
    alright, 
    don't 
    care 

    Oh, 
    I'm 
    sorry 

    For 
    all the 
    misery, 
    yeah 

    reach 
    out 
    and 
    embrace 
    an 

    empty 
    space 

    A song 
    that 
    slowly 
    slowly 
    fades 

    Where 
    goes 
    it? 

    It 
    goes 
    some 
    place 

    It 
    goes 
    somewhere, 
    where 
    it's lonely 

    Verse 5
    And 
    black 
    as 
    the 
    night 

    Come 
    on 
    home, 
    baby 

    Let's 
    put 
    things 
    right, 
    put 
    things 
    right 

    hang 
    my 
    head 
    and 
    cry 
    cry 
    cry 

    Darling, 
    all 
    night 
    I try 

    To 
    cease 
    on 
    reason 
    for 
    this 

    mad 
    mad 
    season 

    The 
    nights, 
    the nights 
    they 
    are 
    so 
    long now

    in 
    light 

    Call

    call 
    it 
    death, 

    call 
    it 
    what 
    you 
    like 

    But 
    only 
    sleep, 
    dear 

    Only 
    sleep 
    brings 
    you 
    back 
    to 
    life, 

    yeah 

    hang 
    my 
    head 

    I toss 
    and 
    I sweat 

    never, 
    never, 
    never 
    can 
    for

    baby, 
    slowly 
    slowly 
    going 

    And 
    we 
    both 
    know 
    that 
    it's 

    gonna

    • 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.
