    Verse 1
    This 
    is 
    the story 
    of 
    man 

    Who 
    took 
    for 
    granted 

    everything 
    he 
    had 

    And 
    how 
    he 
    let 
    it all 

    just 
    slip 
    away 

    Never 
    to 
    re
    turn 
    again 

    Verse 2
    Now 
    twenty 
    years 
    have 

    come 
    and gone 

    And still 
    he 
    wonders 
    what 

    he 
    did 
    so 
    wrong 

    And 
    how 
    that 
    he 
    can 
    win 
    back 
    her 
    heart 

    And 
    finally 
    step 
    outside 
    of 
    the dark 

    Verse 3
    He 
    buys 
    fresh 
    roses 
    every
    day 

    Her 
    favourite 
    flower 
    so 
    she 
    used 
    to 
    say 

    And 
    now 
    the 
    memories 
    all that 
    he 
    has 
    left 

    And 
    I'm 
    afraid 
    he'll 
    drink 

    him
    self 
    to 
    death 

    Verse 4

    had 

    And

    Interlude 1


    Verse 5
    It's 
    clear 
    she's 
    moved 
    on 
    long 
    ago 

    But 
    he 
    still 
    clings 
    on 
    to 

    distant 
    hope 

    That she'll 
    come 
    back 
    and 

    make 
    happy 
    home 

    For 
    now 
    it's 
    him 
    and the 

    bottle 
    all 
    alone 

    Verse 6
    Sometimes 
    you'll 
    see 
    him 
    in 
    the 
    yard 

    wounded 
    man 
    with 
    desperate 
    heart 

    He 
    keeps 
    the 
    hedges 
    trimmed 
    nice 
    and 
    neat 

    To 
    keep 
    them 
    the 
    way 

    that 
    they 
    used 
    to 
    be 

    Verse 7

    of 
    man 

    Who 
    took

    he 
    had 

    And 
    how 
    he 
    let 
    it all 
    just slip 
    away 

    Never 
    to 
    re
    turn 
    again 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 8
    A single 
    dress 
    hangs 
    on 
    it's own 

    The scent 
    of 
    perfume 
    all 
    he 
    has 
    to 
    hold 

    wasted 
    life 
    waiting 
    on 
    dream 

    Hoping 
    for 
    things 
    the 
    way 
    they 
    used 
    to 
    be 

    Verse 9

    is 
    the story 
    of 
    man 
    (this is

    he 
    had

    • 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.
