    Verse 1
    Now, 
    boy 
    de
    cides 

    he cannot 
    walk 

    Boy 
    de
    cides 
    to take 
    the 
    train 

    And 
    sing 
    and 
    swing 
    his 
    arms 
    softly 

    Watch 
    himself 
    in the 
    windowpane 

    And 
    he says, 
    "This 
    is necessar

    And 
    though she 
    said 

    should 
    not run 
    again 

    And I 
    just 
    could not 
    live 
    under 

    the same 
    roof 
    as 
    him 

    And 
    Verse 2
    in 
    the desert 
    deserve 
    some 
    sleep 

    And 
    I need 
    recourse 
    for the 

    course 
    I am 
    tak
    ing" 

    And 
    we just 
    got 
    word 
    from 

    your 
    mother 

    Who said 
    she's 
    awfully 
    sorry 

    But she 
    understands 

    It's 
    just 
    she 
    loves 
    her 
    man 

    Verse 3
    But 
    what's 
    the 
    prob
    lem? 

    Yeah, 
    he's 
    been 
    burnin' 
    your 

    blankets 
    all 
    this 
    time 

    It's, 
    it's 
    for 
    your 
    own 
    good 

    That 
    you learn 
    to 
    be 
    a cold 
    man too 

    Verse 4
    And 
    he 
    could 
    not 
    go 
    home 

    to 
    his mother 

    'Cause 
    she's in 
    love 
    with 
    an animal 

    Nothing 
    to 
    hold 
    in 
    his 
    arms 

    They 
    both became 
    mechanical 

    Verse 5
    Only 
    the 
    girl 
    in the 
    air
    plane 
    he'd 

    Read 
    about when 
    he was 
    small 

    Could save 
    him 

    Be 
    the friend 
    he 
    needed 
    all 
    along 

    And 
    she'd 
    love 
    him, 

    she'd 
    love 
    him, 
    love 
    him 

    Verse 6
    In the 
    desert, 

    there's a 
    man 
    with his 
    arms 
    by his 
    side 

    But they're 
    severed 
    so the 
    day when 

    he will 
    look 
    into her 
    eyes 

    He'll say 
    "I 
    have 
    been 
    waving 
    to get 

    your 
    atten
    tion 
    all 
    this 
    time" 

    And he 
    will not 
    see 
    a river 
    for another 

    thousand 
    miles 

    But her lips 
    will 
    be like water 

    when she gives 
    the boy 
    a smile 

    And says, 
    "I 
    have 
    been 
    searching 
    for 
    you, 

    man, 
    all 
    the 
    while" 

    Verse 7
    There 
    ain't 
    no 
    birds 
    out 

    here 
    near the 
    cactus 

    The 
    place 
    where 
    you 
    are 
    lying 

    But 
    the 
    raw 
    pink sky 
    is 
    clear, 

    and 
    she turns 
    his 
    head 

    And said, 
    "Is it 
    jet 
    propeller 
    I hear?" 

    And 
    she says 
    "Boy, 

    am 
    glad 
    to 
    see 
    you" 

    And 
    boy decides 
    to 
    hold her 
    hand 

    with the 
    hands 
    held 
    by 

    The new 
    arms 
    that 
    she had 

    brought and 
    given 
    him 

    Only 
    the 
    girl 
    in the 
    air
    plane 
    he'd 
    swore 

    he'd 
    seen when 
    he 
    was 
    small 

    Could 
    save 
    him, 

    be 
    the friend 
    he'd 
    needed 
    all 
    along 

    And 
    he'd love 
    her, he'd love 
    her 

    In 
    the 
    Verse 8
    desert, 
    there's a 
    plant 

    with 
    its arms 
    raisin' high 

    And 
    they're never 
    gonna 
    sever 

    'cause she 
    looks 
    into his 
    eyes 

    Today 
    to say, 

    "I've 
    been 
    wait
    ing 
    all 
    the 
    while"

    Yeah,

    It

    She

      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 🙂

      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.
