  • Verse 1
    Well 
    he 
    shouts 
    and wakes 

    the 
    whole street 
    up 

    He 
    says 'I've 
    never 

    believed 
    in you 
    anyway' 

    He 
    says 'Now 
    what the 
    hell 

    do you 
    want to 
    lecture 
    me for 

    To 
    keep the 
    approaching 

    years 
    at 
    bay?' 

    And as the 
    curtains 
    opposite 
    open 
    slight 

    They see 
    front 
    door 
    slam 

    And 
    God 
    the Father 
    to 
    His 
    chosen 
    Son 

    Shout
    s 'Be 
    saved 

    or You'll 
    be 
    damned' 

    And 
    the years 
    go 
    pas

    Nothing 
    changes 
    'cept the 
    date 

    This 
    time, 
    it's 
    just 
    the same 

    as the 
    last 

    It's always 
    just 
    too 
    late 

    He smashed 
    the car 
    again 
    last 
    night 

    And he 
    can't 
    bang 
    out the 
    dent 

    He 
    was trying 
    to 
    pull down 
    the biggest 

    monument 

    Verse 2

    Wallpaper 
    medals 
    decorate 

    the soldiers 

    But the 
    memories 
    have peeled 
    away 

    Well 
    people 
    fight, 

    they 
    come 
    and go like 
    politicians 

    So 
    proud 
    to have 
    nothing 
    to say 

    Well 
    there were 
    moving 
    pictures 

    on the news 
    at ten 

    Why 
    they rioted, 
    it's 
    mystery 

    Well 
    let's 
    play tin 
    soldiers 
    at Goose 
    Green 

    never 
    said 
    we learned 
    from 
    history 

    And 
    the years 
    go 
    pas

    Nothing 
    changes 
    'cept the 
    date 

    This 
    time, 
    it's 
    just 
    the same 
    as 
    the 
    last 

    It's 
    always 
    just 
    too 
    late 

    Splashed 
    across 
    breakfast 
    on 

    this morning's 
    papers 

    One 
    of the soldiers 
    was bent 

    He was trying 
    to pull down 

    the biggest 
    monument 

    Verse 3
    Eyes 
    light 
    in 
    the twilight 
    twilight 

    Dusk 
    of a late- 
    night 
    bar, 
    late- night 
    bar 

    Well 
    they both 
    believe 
    in 

    love 
    at first 
    sight 

    Provided 
    you can't 
    see 
    the scars 

    And mummy 
    did it 
    and his 

    daddy 
    too 

    Otherwise 
    how could 
    they be 
    here 

    Will 
    you have 
    me 
    in 
    sickness 
    and in health 

    Til 
    death do 
    us part 
    and 
    we'll 

    get di
    vorced 
    next year 

    And 
    the years 
    go 
    pas

    Nothing 
    changes 
    'cept the 
    date 

    This 
    time, 
    it's 
    just 
    the same 

    as 
    the last 

    It's always 
    just 
    too 
    late 

    He got 
    smashed 
    again 
    last 
    night 

    His 
    hard- 
    earned money 

    came 
    and went 

    He just tried 
    to pull down 

    the biggest 
    monument 

    Verse 4
    Yesterday 
    in 
    to

    morrow's 
    world 

    They 
    invented 
    the wheel 
    again 

    Someone 
    died 
    in 
    Hollywood 

    And 
    then he 
    was proclaimed 

    King of the 
    Insane 

    And 
    tomor
    row it's 
    in 
    the papers 

    The 
    next 
    day 
    it's on 
    the news 

    And 
    it 
    all 
    happened 
    just 
    like 
    this 
    before 

    You 
    know I'm 
    starting 
    to get 
    confused 

    Yeah 
    and 
    the years 
    go 
    past 

    Nothing 
    changes 
    'cept the 
    date 

    This 
    time, 
    it's 
    just 
    the same 

    as the last 

    It's always 
    just 
    too 
    late 

    We 
    get 
    born 
    with history 
    on our shoulders 

    We 
    still can't 
    afford 
    the 
    rent 

    When 
    you try 
    to 
    pull 
    down 
    the biggest

    • 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.
