    Verse 1
    The 
    last 
    time 
    I saw 
    Richard 
    was 
    Detroit 
    in 
    '68 

    And he 
    told 
    me 
    all 
    romantics 
    meet 

    the same 
    fate 
    someday 

    Cynical 
    and 
    drunk 
    and 
    boring 
    someone 

    in 
    some 
    dark 
    cafe 

    You 
    laugh, 
    he 
    said 
    you think 
    you're 
    immune, 

    go 
    look 
    at your 
    eyes 

    They're 
    full 
    of moon 

    You like 
    roses 
    and 
    kisses 
    and 

    pretty 
    men 
    to tell 
    you 

    All 
    those 
    pretty 
    lies, 
    pretty 
    lies 

    When 
    you gonna 
    realize 

    they're 
    only 
    pretty 
    lies 

    Only 
    pretty 
    lies, 
    just 
    pretty 

    lies 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 2
    He put 
    quarter 
    in 
    the 

    Wurlitzer, and 
    he 
    pushed 

    Three 
    buttons 
    and the thing 

    began 
    to whir 

    And 
    a bar 
    maid 
    came 
    by 
    in 
    fishnet 

    stock
    ings 
    and a 
    bow 
    tie 

    And 
    she 
    said 
    drink 
    up 
    now 
    it's gettin' 

    on 
    time 
    to close 

    Richard, 
    you haven't 
    really 
    changed, 

    I said 

    It's 
    just 
    that 
    now 
    you're 
    romanticizing some 

    pain 
    that's 
    in your 
    head 

    You got 
    tombs 
    in 
    your 
    eyes, 
    but the 
    songs 

    You 
    punched 
    are 
    dream
    ing 

    Listen, 
    they sing 
    of 
    love 
    so sweet, 

    love 
    so 
    sweet 

    When 
    you gon
    na 
    get 
    yourself 

    back 
    on 
    your 
    feet? 

    Oh 
    and love 
    can 
    be 
    so 
    sweet, 

    love 
    so 
    sweet 

    Verse 3

    Richard 
    got 
    married 
    to a 
    figure 
    skater 

    And 
    he 
    bought 
    her a 
    dishwash
    er 

    and a coffee 
    percolator 

    And he 
    drinks 
    at home 
    now 

    most 
    nights 
    with the 
    TV 
    on 

    And 
    all 
    the 
    house 
    lights 

    left 
    up 
    bright 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    blow 
    this 
    damn 
    candle 
    out 

    don't want 
    nobody 
    comin' 

    over 
    to 
    my 
    table 

    I got 
    nothing 
    to talk 
    to anybody 
    about 

    All 
    good 
    dreamers 
    pass 

    this 
    way 
    some 
    day 

    Hidin' 
    behind 
    bottles 
    in dark 
    cafes 

    Dark 
    cafes 

    Only 
    a dark 
    cocoon 
    before 
    I get 

    my 
    gorgeous 
    wings 

    And 
    fly 
    away 

    Only 
    a phase, 
    these 
    dark 
    cafe 

    days

    • 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.
