  • Verse 1
    My 
    father 
    sits 
    at night 

    with 
    no 
    lights 
    on 

    His cigarette 
    glows 
    in the 
    dark 

    The living 
    room 
    is still 

    walk 
    by, 
    no 
    remark 

    tiptoe 
    past 
    the master 
    bedroom 
    where 

    My 
    mother 
    reads 
    her 
    magazines 

    hear 
    her call 
    sweet 
    dreams 

    But 
    I forget 
    how 
    to dream 

    (How to dream, 

    how to 
    dream) 

    Verse 2
    But you 
    say it's 
    time 
    we 
    moved 

    in 
    together 

    And raised 
    a family 
    of our 
    own, 
    you 
    and 
    me 

    Well, 
    that's 
    the way 
    I've 

    always 
    heard 
    it 
    should 
    be 

    You 
    want 
    to 
    marry 
    me 

    Verse 3
    My 
    friends 
    from 
    college, 

    they're 
    all 
    married 
    now 

    They 
    have 
    their houses 
    and 

    their 
    lawns 

    They have 
    their silent 
    noon

    Tearful 
    nights, 
    angry 
    dawns 

    Their 
    children 
    hate 
    them 
    for 
    the 
    things 

    they're not 
    (things they'll 
    never 
    be) 

    They 
    hate 
    themselves 
    for 

    what they 
    are 

    And 
    yet they 
    drink, 
    they 
    laugh 

    Close 
    the wound, 

    hide 
    the scar 

    Verse 4

    But you 
    say 
    it's time 
    we 

    moved 
    in 
    together 

    And 
    raised 
    a family 
    of our 
    own, 

    you 
    and me 

    Well, 
    that's 
    the way 
    I've 

    always 
    heard 
    it 
    should 
    be 

    You 
    want 
    to 
    marry 
    me 


    Verse 5
    You 
    say 
    we 
    can 
    keep 
    our 
    love 
    alive 

    Babe, 
    all I 
    know 
    is 
    what 
    I see 

    The 
    couples 
    cling 
    and claw 

    And 
    drown 
    in 
    love's 

    debris 

    You say 
    we'll soar 
    like 
    two 

    birds 
    through 
    the clouds 

    But 
    soon 
    you'll cage 
    me 

    on 
    your 
    shelf 

    I'll 
    never 
    learn 
    to be 
    just me 
    first 

    By 
    my
    self 

    Verse 6

    Well 
    okay, 
    it's 
    time 
    we 

    moved 
    in 
    together 

    And 
    raised 
    family 
    of 
    our 
    own, 

    you 
    and 
    me 

    Well, 
    that's 
    the 
    way 
    I've 

    always 
    heard 
    it 
    should 
    be 

    You 
    want 
    to 
    marry 
    me 

    We'll 
    marry

    • 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.
