  • Verse 1
    There's 

    Bible 
    on 

    the dresser 
    and a 
    sign 
    hung 
    on 
    the door 

    And 
    wo
    man 
    in 
    my arms 

    shouldn't 
    be 

    I'm 
    to the 
    point 
    of 
    no 
    return
    ing 

    but 
    I've 
    been 
    here 
    be
    fore 

    This 
    cheatin' 
    life 
    is 
    nothing 

    new 
    to 
    me. 

    Verse 2
    There's someone 
    to 
    be 
    con

    sidered 
    call 
    her 
    on the phone 

    And 
    say the 
    job 
    is 
    taking 

    longer 
    that I planned 

    I don't 
    have 
    the heart 
    to tell 
    her 

    that a stranger's 
    turned 
    me 
    on 

    And I'm 
    headin' 
    for 

    the 
    broken 
    prom
    ise 
    land. 

    Verse 3
    To
    night 
    I'm 
    crossing 
    over 
    and I'll 

    reach 
    the 
    cheatin' 
    side 

    And I'll 
    hate 
    myself 
    for 

    coming 
    here 
    again 

    Where 
    the 
    streets 
    are 
    paved 

    with misery 
    and 
    lives 
    are 
    built 
    on 
    lies 

    place 
    they call 
    the 
    broken 

    promise 
    land. 

    Verse 4

    Found 
    note 
    left 
    on 
    the dresser 

    and a 
    key 
    left 
    in 
    the door 

    On the 
    floor 
    I found 
    her 

    golden 
    wedding 
    band 

    Guess she 
    finally 
    had 
    to tell 
    me 

    she's 
    not 
    waiting 
    anymore 

    And she's 
    headin' 
    for 

    the 
    broken 
    prom
    ise 
    land. 

    Verse 5
    To
    night 
    she's 
    crossing 
    over 
    and she'll 

    reach 
    the 
    cheatin' 
    side 

    And I'll 
    hate 
    myself 
    for 

    coming 
    here again 

    Where 
    the 
    streets 
    are 
    paved 
    with 

    misery 
    and 
    lives 
    are 
    built 
    on 
    lies 

    place 
    they call 
    the 
    broken 

    promise 
    land 

    Outro 1
    And it's 
    more 
    than I 
    can stand

    • 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.
