    Verse 1
    I 
    got 
    back 
    in 
    town 
    a 

    day 
    before 
    I'd 
    planned 
    to 

    I 
    smiled 
    and 
    said, 
    I'll 
    sure 
    surprise 
    my 
    wife 

    I 
    don't 
    think 
    I'll 
    phone, 

    I'll 
    just 
    head 
    on 
    home 

    For 
    I 
    didn't 
    know 
    the 
    cold 
    hard 
    facts 
    of 
    life 

    Verse 2
    I 
    passed 
    a 
    little 
    wine 
    store 
    on 
    the 
    corner 

    I 
    pictured 
    pink 
    champagne 
    by 
    candle 
    light 

    I 
    stopped 
    the 
    car 
    right 
    then 

    got 
    out 
    and 
    hurried 
    in 

    My 
    mind 
    not 
    on 
    the 
    cold 
    hard 
    facts 
    of 
    life 

    Verse 3
    A 
    stranger 
    stood 
    there 

    laughing 
    by 
    the 
    counter 

    He 
    said, 
    "I'll 
    take 
    two 

    bottles 
    of 
    your 
    best" 

    Her 
    husband's 
    out 
    of 
    town 

    and 
    there's 
    a 
    party 

    He 
    winked 
    as 
    if 
    to say 
    you 
    know 
    the 
    rest 

    Verse 4
    I 
    left 
    the store 
    two 
    steps 

    behind 
    the 
    stranger 

    From 
    there 
    to 
    my 
    house, 

    his 
    car 
    stayed 
    in 
    sight 

    But 
    it 
    wasn't 
    till 
    he 
    turned 

    into 
    my 
    drive 
    that 
    I 
    learned 

    I 
    was 
    witnessing 
    the 
    cold 
    hard 
    facts 
    of 
    life 

    Verse 5
    I 
    drove 
    around 
    the 
    block 
    till 
    I 
    was 
    dizzy 

    Each 
    time 
    the 
    noise 
    came 

    louder 
    from 
    within 

    And 
    then 
    I 
    saw 
    our 
    bottle 

    there 
    be
    side 
    me 

    And 
    I 
    drank 
    a fifth 
    of 
    courage 

    and 
    walked 
    in 

    Verse 6
    Lord, 
    you should've 
    seen 

    their 
    frantic 
    faces 

    They 
    screamed 
    and 
    cried, 

    please 
    put 
    away 
    that 
    knife 

    I 
    guess 
    I'll 
    go 
    to 
    hell 
    or 

    I'll 
    rot 
    here 
    in 
    this 
    cell 

    But 
    who 
    taught 
    who 
    the 

    cold 
    hard 
    facts 
    of 
    life 

    Who 
    taught 
    who 
    the 
    cold 
    hard 
    facts 
    of 
    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

      "

      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.
