    Verse 1
    I've 

    traveled 
    to cities 
    you've 
    never 
    seen 

    Far 
    from 
    the town 
    where 
    I 
    was 
    a teen 

    To 
    Budapest 
    and 
    west 
    Odense 

    A mil
    lion 
    miles 
    from 
    New 
    Providence 

    Verse 2
    Thirty 
    years 
    later, 

    my childhood's 
    gone 

    The blue 
    and white 
    house 
    half 
    an 
    acre 
    lawn 

    So 
    why 
    do 
    I dwell 
    on 
    the 
    elm 
    tree 
    in 
    back 

    The 
    mezuzah in 
    front 
    and 
    the 

    books 
    in 
    the stack? 

    There was 
    Verse 3
    nothing 
    to do 
    and 

    the neighbors 
    were mean 

    I sat 
    in 
    my 
    room 
    and 

    I tried 
    not 
    to scream 

    We fought 
    and squabbled 
    every 
    third 
    day 

    And 
    I longed 
    for the 
    time 

    when 
    I'd 
    go 
    far 
    away 

    Verse 4
    I 
    never 
    look 
    back 
    and 
    I try 
    to 
    forget 

    So why 
    do 
    I think 
    of 
    this 

    house 
    with 
    regret? 

    Why 
    do 
    I 
    dwell 
    on 
    the 
    elm 
    tree 
    in 
    back 

    The 
    mezuzah in 
    front 
    and 
    the 
    books 
    in 
    the stack

    ? 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 5
    Now 
    I walk 
    to work 
    under 

    a mack
    erel 
    sky 

    The tears 
    start 
    to slide, 

    I 
    can't fathom 
    why 

    It's 
    been 
    nine 
    years 
    since 

    you're 
    in 
    the grave 

    I keep 
    on 
    living 
    and I 
    even 
    forgave 

    Verse 6
    How 
    you died 
    in 
    front 
    of me 
    that 
    day 

    The clock 
    keeps 
    ticking 
    as 
    you slide 
    away 

    And 
    time 
    stood 
    still 
    for 
    a 
    full 
    year 

    While 
    I 
    pretend 
    you 
    were 
    near 

    Verse 7
    Mom, 
    you 
    died 
    in 
    front 
    of 
    me 
    that 
    day 

    Four 
    paramedics, they 
    couldn't 
    say 

    That 
    you 
    would 
    live 
    to 
    comfort 
    me 

    Or one 
    day 
    know 
    who 
    I 
    would 
    be 

    Verse 8
    I never 
    look 
    back 
    and 
    I try 
    to 
    forget 

    So 
    why 
    do 
    I 
    think 
    of 
    the 

    house 
    with 
    regret? 

    Why 
    do 
    I 
    dwell 
    on 
    the 
    elm 
    tree 
    in 
    back 

    The 
    mezuzah in 
    front 
    and 

    the 
    books 
    in 
    the 
    stack? 

    Verse 9
    I 
    never 
    look 
    back 
    and 
    I 
    try 
    to 
    forget 

    So 
    why 
    do 
    I 
    think 
    of 
    the 

    house 
    with 
    regret? 

    Why 
    do 
    I 
    dwell 
    on 
    the 
    elm 
    tree 
    in 
    back 

    The 
    mezuzah in 
    front 
    and 
    the 
    books 
    in 
    the stack
    ?

      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 🙂

      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.
