    Verse 1
    The phone 
    rings, 

    it's 
    early, 
    it's seven 
    o'clock 

    He 
    says 
    sorry 
    I 
    woke 
    you, but 

    I 
    just 
    had 
    to talk 

    You 
    know 
    last 
    night, 

    remember 
    when 
    I tried 
    to choke 
    you? 

    I 
    didn't 
    mean 
    it, 
    I was 
    drunk, 

    it was 
    only 
    a 
    joke 

    You 
    should 
    know 
    that by 
    now 

    When 
    the 
    checkered 
    flag 
    comes 
    down 

    No one, 
    no one, 
    no one 
    has 
    won the 
    race 

    Verse 2

    The nex
    t 
    night 
    he's 

    over 
    and 
    over 
    and 
    under 

    And 
    after 
    he's 
    finished 
    she 

    lies 
    there 
    and 
    wonders 

    Just 
    why 
    does she 
    need 
    him 
    and 

    why 
    does she 
    stay 
    here 

    And 
    then 
    in 
    the darkness 
    she'll 

    quietly 
    say 
    dear 

    You've 
    never 
    really 
    known 
    that 

    when 
    the white 
    flag 
    is flown 

    No one, 
    no one, 
    no one 
    has 
    won the 

    war 

    Verse 3

    They're 
    com
    plicated 
    people 

    Leading 
    complicated 
    lives 

    And 
    he 
    complicates 
    their 
    problems 

    Telling 
    complicated 
    lies 

    He 
    tells 
    her 
    he's 
    sorry, 

    she 
    tells 
    him 
    it's 
    over 

    He 
    tells 
    her 
    he's 
    sorry, 

    she 
    says 
    over 
    and 
    over 

    You've 
    never 
    really 
    known 
    that 

    when 
    the white 
    flag 
    is flown 

    No 
    one, 
    no one, 

    no one 
    has 
    won the war 

    Verse 4
    There 
    goes 
    a forest 
    and 

    there 
    goes 
    a bluebird 

    There 
    goes 
    a partridge 
    and 

    there 
    goes 
    a Go 
    Train 

    There 
    goes 
    an 
    angel 
    and 

    there 
    goes a 
    steeple 

    There 
    goes 
    a cop 
    car 
    and 

    there 
    goes 
    an eagle 

    There 
    goes 
    a raven 
    and 

    there 
    go 
    the 
    ribbons 

    There 
    goes 
    a raven 
    and 

    there 
    go 
    the 
    ribbons 

    There 
    goes 
    a raven 
    and 
    there 
    go 

    Verse 5
    The 
    ribbons, 
    the 
    ribbons, 
    the 
    ribbons 

    The 
    ribbons 
    of 
    the flag 

    Of 
    the 
    flag 

    Of 
    the 
    flag 

    Of 
    the flag 
    (of the 
    flag) 

    Of the flag 
    (of the 
    flag) 

    Of the 
    flag 
    (of the 
    flag) 

    Of 
    the

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
