    Verse 1
    Last 
    night 
    when 
    I 
    got 
    home, 

    about 
    a 
    half 
    past 
    ten 

    There 
    was 
    a 
    woman 
    I 
    thought 
    I 
    knew, 

    in 
    the 
    arms 
    of 
    another 
    man 

    I 
    kept 
    my 
    cool, 
    I 
    ain't 
    no 
    fool, 

    let 
    me 
    tell 
    you 
    what 
    happened 
    then 

    I 
    packed 
    my 
    bags 
    and 
    I 
    walked 
    out, 

    and 
    I 
    ain't 
    goin' 
    back 
    again 

    So 
    take 
    a 
    life 
    for 
    real, 

    address 
    it 
    to my 
    wife 

    Say 
    I 
    won't 
    be 
    comin' 
    home, 

    I 
    gotta 
    start 
    a 
    new 
    life 

    So 
    take 
    a 
    life 
    for 
    real, 

    ad
    dress 
    it 
    to my 
    wife 

    Send 
    a 
    copy 
    to 
    my 
    lawyer, 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    start 
    a 
    new 
    life 

    When 
    a 
    man 
    loves 
    a 
    woman, 

    it's 
    hard 
    to 
    under
    stand 

    That 
    she 
    could 
    find 
    more 
    pleasure 

    in 
    the 
    arms 
    of 
    another 
    man 

    Once 
    I 
    slaved 
    and 
    worked 
    nights, 

    tried 
    to 
    build 
    a 
    good 
    life 

    But 
    all 
    work 
    and 
    no 
    play 

    has 
    just 
    cost 
    me 
    a 
    life 

    So 
    I'll take 
    a 
    lamp, 
    a 
    ring, 

    and 
    dress 
    it 
    to my 
    wife 

    Say 
    it 
    won't 
    be 
    coming, 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    start 
    a 
    new 
    life 

    So 
    I'll take 
    a 
    lamp, 
    a 
    ring, 

    and 
    dress 
    it 
    to 
    my 
    wife 

    Say 
    they 
    can't 
    beat 
    you 
    by 
    the 
    new 
    life, 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    start 
    a 
    new 
    life 

    Interlude 1




    Verse 2
    You've 
    been 
    many 
    things, 
    but 
    most 
    of 
    all, 

    a 
    good 
    secretary 
    to 
    me. 

    At 
    times 
    like 
    this, 

    I 
    feel 
    you've 
    always 
    been 
    close 
    to 
    me. 

    You're 
    looking 
    pretty 
    fine, 

    Marie, 
    with 
    your 
    pants 
    around 
    your 
    knees. 

    It 
    just 
    so 
    happens 
    I'm 
    free 
    tonight. 
    I 

    would 
    like 
    to 
    have 
    dinner 
    with 
    me. 

    So 
    take 
    a 
    map, 

    Address 
    it 
    to 
    my 
    wife. 

    Say 
    I 
    won't 
    be 
    coming 
    home. 

    I 
    gotta 
    start 
    a 
    new 
    life. 

    So 
    take 
    a 
    map, 

    Maria. 

    And 
    you 
    address 
    it 
    to 
    that 

    bitch 
    I 
    used to 
    sleep 
    with. 

    You 
    tell 
    my 
    pig 
    I ain't 
    comin' 
    home 
    tonight 

    I 
    gotta 
    start 
    a 
    new 
    life 
    with 
    you, 

    Maria 

    Take 
    a 
    nap, 

    Maria 

    Ah, 
    you 
    were 
    dressin' 
    down 
    to 
    sweat 

    You 
    tell 
    that 
    dark, 
    horrible 
    woman 

    I 
    ain't 
    comin' 
    home 
    tonight 

    Not 
    tonight, 
    not 
    tomorrow 

    Not 
    any 
    other 
    night 

    Take 
    a 
    nap, 

    Maria 

    Ah, 
    I'm 
    dressin' 
    down 
    to 
    cold 

    Soon 
    we'll 
    be 
    comin' 
    home 

    I 
    gotta 
    start 
    a 
    new 
    life, 
    a 
    new 
    life 

    Take 
    a 
    letter, 
    put 
    in a... 

    If 
    you 
    wrap 
    that 
    thing 
    around 
    a brick 

    And you 
    throw 
    it 
    through the 

    fuckin' 
    front 
    window, 
    baby 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    start 
    a 
    new 
    life 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    start 
    a 
    new 
    life 

    Start 
    a 
    new 
    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 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.

      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.
