    • Verse 1
    That 
    call 
    was 
    from 
    the office 
    and I guess 
    I'll 

    have 
    to burn 
    the midnight 
    oil 
    again 

    And hon' 
    you know 
    how 
    much 
    the boss 

    depends 
    on 
    me 
    to 
    lend 
    a helping 
    hand 

    I 
    watch 
    him 
    in 
    the mirror 
    as 
    I lie 
    and 
    tell him 

    I don't 
    know 
    how 
    late 
    I'll 
    be 

    While 
    I'm 
    puttin' 
    on 
    my 
    makeup 
    I'm 
    puttin' 

    on 
    the one 
    that 
    really 
    loves 
    me 

    Verse 2
    The girls 
    all 
    got 
    together 
    and 
    they called 
    to 

    see 
    if I 
    could 
    have 
    some 
    fun 
    tonight 

    But 
    you know 
    me 
    the only 
    thing 
    I 
    do 

    is 
    go 
    to work 
    and 
    watch 
    TV 

    And 
    I 
    watch 
    him 
    in 
    the mirror 
    as 
    I lie 
    and tell him 

    I don't 
    know 
    how late 
    I'll 
    be 

    While 
    I'm 
    puttin' 
    on 
    my 
    makeup 
    I'm 

    puttin' 
    on 
    the one 
    that 
    really 
    loves 
    me 

    Verse 3
    And 
    tonight 
    I'll 
    cheat 
    again 
    and 

    tomorrow 
    I'll 
    be sorry 

    And I'll feel 
    kind 
    of dirty 
    cause 
    I'll 

    have 
    the midnight 
    oil 
    all 
    over 
    me 

    God 
    knows 
    his 
    dream 
    would shatter 
    if he 
    knew 

    the devil 
    had 
    me 
    and 
    won't 
    set 
    me free 

    While 
    I'm 
    puttin' 
    on 
    my 
    makeup 
    I'm 

    puttin' 
    on 
    the one 
    that 
    really 
    loves 
    me 

    While 
    I'm 
    puttin' 
    on 
    my 
    makeup 
    I'm puttin' 

    on 
    the one 
    that 
    really 
    loves 
    me

      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.
