    Verse 1
    "Well 
    I 

    don't 
    know 
    if 
    I 
    can take 
    this 
    anymore" 

    She's 
    thinking 
    as 
    he shoves 

    (her) against 
    the wall 

    Screaming, 
    "Well 
    then what 

    good 
    are 
    you for, 

    You 
    don't 
    give 
    me no 

    pleas
    ure 
    at 
    all" 

    Verse 2
    "Oh 
    now 
    I know 
    I 
    need 
    to 
    leave" 

    So 
    she 
    tells 
    herself 
    again 

    Wipes 
    a little 
    blood 
    upon 
    her 
    sleeve 

    But she 
    don't 
    tell 
    herself 
    when 

    Verse 3
    And the 
    baby 
    starts 
    a- cry
    ing, 

    daddy 
    sits 
    back 
    down 

    Sinks 
    another 
    drink 
    to bring 

    his 
    tem
    per 
    down 

    And 
    it's 
    in 
    each 
    they're 

    reflecting 
    on 
    the 
    tv 
    screen 

    Reminds 
    her 
    of 
    a better 
    day 

    she 
    thought 
    she'd 
    seen 

    Verse 4

    But 
    now 
    take 
    your 
    time 
    be
    fore 
    you 
    grieve 

    And 
    keep 
    your 
    heart 
    held 
    off 
    your 
    sleeve 

    'Cause 
    ain't 
    no 
    one 
    but 
    you 
    deceived 

    Your sympathy 
    is 
    soon 
    to 
    leave 

    And 
    now 
    Verse 5
    hide 
    your 
    mouth 

    before 
    you 
    speak 

    Better 
    yet 
    just 
    turn 
    a cheek 

    Watch 
    your 
    interest 
    growing 
    weak 

    But still 
    you say 
    that 
    I'm 
    the 
    freak 

    And 
    I 
    guess 
    that's 
    fine 
    with 
    me 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 6
    "But 
    he's 
    probably 
    had 
    a long, 

    long 
    day" 

    She's 
    thinking 
    in 
    the kitchen 

    while 
    she 
    weep
    s 

    Putting 
    dinner's 
    left- 
    overs 
    away 

    As 
    he stumbles 
    off 
    to 
    bed 

    and 
    then 
    to sleep 

    Verse 7
    And surely 
    he'll 
    be 
    better 

    come 
    the 
    dawn 

    When 
    I 
    rise 
    to 
    cook 
    him 

    breakfast 
    'fore 
    he 
    goes 

    Wakes 
    without 
    a word 
    and 

    then 
    he's 
    gone 

    He's 
    got 
    that 
    kinda 
    love 

    that 
    never 
    shows 

    Verse 8
    And 
    baby 
    starts 
    a- wail
    in' 
    and 

    daddy 
    comes 
    back 
    out

    "Shut 
    up 
    that 
    child" 

    she 
    hears 
    him 
    shout 

    And 
    cradled 
    in 
    her 
    arms 
    she 
    tries 

    to calm 
    the 
    sound 

    "How 
    am 
    I 
    to sleep
    ?" 
    he 

    screams 
    and 
    slaps 
    her 
    down 

    Verse 9

    But 
    now 
    take 
    your 
    time 
    be
    fore 
    you 
    grieve 

    And 
    keep 
    your 
    heart 
    held 
    off 
    your 
    sleeve 

    'Cause 
    ain't 
    no 
    one 
    but 
    you 
    deceived 

    Your sympathy 
    is

    And 
    now 
    hide 
    your 
    mouth 

    be
    fore 
    you 
    speak

    Interlude 2
    me 



    Verse 11
    When 
    she 
    wakes 
    her 
    head 
    don't 

    cease 
    to pain 

    Body's 
    broken 
    and 
    her clothes 

    all torn 
    away 

    Still 
    the threat 
    of 
    emptiness 
    remain
    s 

    As she 
    struggles 
    to 
    her feet 

    to 
    get 
    away 

    Verse 12
    "Help, 
    where 
    has 
    my 
    child 
    gone?" 

    She 
    screams 
    as she 
    runs 

    from 
    room 
    to 
    room 

    Every 
    sound 
    of silence 
    lingers 
    on 

    Not 
    a single 
    kick 
    in
    side 
    her 
    womb 

    Verse 13
    And 
    her 
    mind 
    drowns 
    in 
    the shad
    ows, 

    mama 
    falls 
    back 
    down 

    Where 
    the walls 
    that shape 
    her 
    world 
    seem 

    taller 
    from 
    the 
    ground 

    And 
    no 
    more 
    breath 
    to scream, 

    her 
    throat 
    just 
    drips 
    away 

    And 
    no 
    more 
    life 
    to 
    lose 
    as 

    if 
    there 
    were 
    to 
    save 

    Verse 14

    But 
    now 
    take 
    your 
    time 
    be
    fore 
    you 
    grieve 

    And 
    keep 
    your 
    heart 
    held 
    off 
    your 
    sleeve 

    'Cause 
    ain't 
    no 
    one 
    but 
    you 
    deceived 

    Your sympathy 
    is 
    soon 
    to 
    leave 

    Verse 15
    And 
    now 
    hide 
    your 
    mouth 

    be
    fore 
    you 
    speak 

    Better 
    yet 
    just 
    turn 
    a cheek 

    Watch 
    your 
    interest 
    growing 
    weak 

    But still 
    you say

      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 🙂

      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.
