    C


    It`s started to come to me
    F
    C

    Your new career would
    G
    C

    probably end like this

    All that professional lipstick pressed
    G

    into an amateur kiss
    C
    F
    C

    Farewell to the studied lines and carefully

    broken hearts

    The overpowering perfume and
    F
    C

    the glimpse of her garter
    G
    C

    Mingling with the sweet smoldering
    F

    scent of the martyr
    C
    G
    F

    Well it`s starting to come to me (come to me,
    G

    come to me)
    C

    Starting to come to me
    Verse 2
    C


    So you began to recognize the
    F
    G
    C

    well- dressed man that everybody loves

    It started when you chopped off all the
    G

    fingers of those pony skin gloves
    C
    F

    Then you cut a hole out where the
    C
    F
    C

    love light used to shine

    Your tears of pleasure equal
    F
    Em

    measure crocodile and brine
    C
    G

    You try to laugh it off saying
    C
    F

    "I knew all the time...
    G
    F

    But it`s starting to come to me" (come to me,
    G

    come to me)
    C

    Starting to come to me
    Verse 3
    G

    Sometimes you bring me down
    D

    to play reluctant confidant

    You say you may reward him if he
    G

    gives you what you want
    C

    But these are days to treasure
    D

    and to hold

    They are much too precious
    G

    to be sold
    C

    You`d probably play the pirate if you
    D
    G
    F
    G

    weren't so busy digging up the gold
    C
    Now you could tell
    Verse 4

    he wanted you `cause
    F
    G
    C

    you almost taste it on his breath

    But you always cheated life just like the
    G

    bold dare- devil cheated death
    C

    Incidentally, late last night your under
    F
    C
    G
    C

    study finally got what you deserve

    In private she`s seductive but in public she`s prim,
    G
    F

    porcelain and nervous
    C
    F

    Afraid someone will recognize
    Em
    F
    C

    the shame in her eyes

    You've still got your dignity or
    F
    C

    the next best disguise
    G
    C

    You never know when to say no
    F

    and when to compromise
    C
    G
    F

    But it`s starting to come to me (come to me,
    C
    G

    come to me)
    F

    Starting to come to me (come to me,
    C

    come to me)
    G
    C
    G

    • 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.”
