    Verse 1
    Blue 
    collar 
    Eddie 
    and his 
    better 
    half 

    Delores 
    used 
    to be 
    mantel 
    pieces 
    down 
    at 
    the Black 
    Forest. 

    And I 
    don't know 
    if that 
    bar 
    still 
    exists, 
    but when 
    it did, 

    so 
    did they, 
    a couple 
    bleeding 
    heart 
    kids. 

    Everything 
    volatile, 
    every 
    night 
    rocker 
    style. 
    Hop 
    a stool, 

    be 
    discrete 
    and just 
    watch 
    a while. 

    But do 
    your best 
    to keep 
    the level 
    observational, 

    drama 
    is 
    attractive 
    so 
    push 
    it when 
    it takes 
    a pull. 

    And each 
    night's 
    a random 
    when 
    you pay 
    ransom 
    for 

    the 
    right 
    to sing 
    along 
    with them 
    drinking 
    anthems. 

    And 
    these 
    fools 
    paid 
    so many 
    dues 

    that 
    everybody 
    stops 
    to salute. 

    Verse 2
    But 
    one 
    night 
    after 
    another 
    fight 
    a couple 
    from 

    an opposite 
    table 
    offered 
    an invite. 

    Dolores 
    didn't 
    want 
    to join 

    'em, wasn't 
    feeling 
    social. 

    But Eddie 
    was 
    so aggravated 
    that 

    he had 
    to poke 
    holes. 

    He walked 
    over, 
    sat 
    in 
    the dialogue 
    and called 
    at 
    Dolores 

    like some 
    kind 
    of dog 
    (hey girl 
    come 
    here) 

    She can't 
    believe 
    it, she's 
    done, 

    she's 
    had 
    it, but she 
    doesn't 
    want 
    to make 
    another 
    scene 
    in this 
    establishment. 

    She 
    got 
    up 
    and 
    mosied over, 

    and put 
    her arm 
    up 
    around 
    Eddie's 
    shoulder. 

    Nobody's 
    sober 
    the 
    song 
    is 
    the 
    same;
    sometimes 

    you stick 
    out 
    your chin 
    to catch 
    the 
    rain. 

    Verse 3
    You 
    can be 
    a winner, 
    you 
    can be 
    a loser, 

    gotta 
    wake 
    up 
    when 
    you hear the 
    rooster. 

    Sometimes 
    it's 
    just 
    too simple 
    to live 
    your life 
    wrong, 

    gotta 
    do 
    what right 
    for you 
    when 
    the time 
    comes. 

    You 
    can be 
    a winner, 
    you 
    can be 
    a loser, 

    gotta 
    wake 
    up 
    when 
    you hear the 
    rooster. 

    Sometimes 
    it's 
    just 
    too simple 
    to live 
    your life 
    wrong, 

    Verse 4
    gotta 
    do 
    what right 
    for you 
    when 
    the time 
    comes. 

    The clock 
    keeps 
    drinking, 
    they 
    keep 
    ticking. 
    There's 

    two 
    more 
    people 
    who get 
    to play 
    positions. 

    Samantha 
    and 
    Chuck; not 
    a couple, 

    just 
    roommates; out 
    having 
    too many 
    shots 
    on 
    a Tuesday. 

    Who knew 
    they'd be 
    tools 
    for 
    the duo, 

    put 
    a little 
    bit of 
    fire 
    on 
    the fuel. 

    It's 
    a kinda 
    blue, 
    intentions 
    ain't 
    cruel, 

    but everybody's 
    so ready 
    to bend 
    up 
    the rules. 

    Now there's 
    Chuck, 
    staring 
    at 
    Delores. 

    Eddie 
    is 
    dis
    tracted 
    by 
    Samantha 

    so 
    he doesn't 
    notice. 

    An
    d everybody's 
    too 
    fucked 
    up 
    to even 
    asses 
    the 
    mess, 

    much 
    less 
    care 
    enough. 

    More 
    whiskey, 
    a pitcher 
    of Premium, 

    Eddie's 
    getting 
    tipsy, 
    he 
    didn't 
    see 
    it comin. 

    On 
    his way 
    back 
    from 
    a visit 
    with 
    that urinal, 

    tryna 
    straighten 
    out 
    his thoughts 
    and 
    the vertigo. 

    Weaves 
    through, 

    stops 
    when 
    he's seen 
    em. 

    Picture 
    perfect, 

    it looked 
    just 
    like freedom. 

    Dolores 
    on 
    Chuck's 
    lap 
    kissing 
    him 
    hard. 
    Eddie 

    dipped 
    into 
    the winter 
    left 
    them all 
    at 
    the 
    bar. 

    Some
    times 
    ya gotta 
    follow 
    what's 
    felt 
    in
    side; between 

    the power 
    struggle 
    and 
    the selfish 
    pride. 

    No one's 
    allowed 
    to cry 
    unfair 
    because 
    now 

    they both 
    get to 
    drink 
    alone 
    somewhere. 

    Verse 5
    You 
    can be 
    a winner, 
    you 
    can be 
    a loser, 

    gotta 
    wake 
    up 
    when 
    you hear 
    the rooster 

    Sometimes 
    it's 
    just 
    too simple 
    to live 
    your life 
    wrong, 

    gotta 
    do 
    what right 
    for you 
    when 
    the time 
    comes 

    You 
    can be 
    a winner, 
    you 
    can be 
    a loser, 

    gotta 
    wake 
    up 
    when 
    you hear 
    the rooster 

    Sometimes 
    it's 
    just 
    too simple 
    to live 
    your life 
    wrong, 

    gotta 
    do 
    what right 
    for you 
    when 
    the time 
    comes 

    You 
    can be 
    a winner, 
    you can 
    be 
    a loser, 

    gotta 
    wake 
    up 
    when 
    you hear the 
    rooster 

    Sometimes 
    it's 
    just 
    too simple 
    to live 
    your life 
    wrong, 

    gotta 
    do 
    what 
    right 
    for you 
    when 
    the time 
    comes

    • 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.
