    Verse 1
    If 

    baby 
    is 
    born 

    and 
    no 
    one 
    complains 

    Then that's 
    good 
    luck, 

    runnin' 
    through 
    young 
    veins 

    And 
    if life 
    is a blessing 

    That brushes 
    the tops 
    of the trees 

    Well it's 
    a short 
    walk, 

    in a sweet 
    breeze 

    Verse 2
    I will need 
    you, feed 
    you, 

    Seed 
    you, 
    plead 
    with 
    you 

    All 
    for a taste 
    of your 
    sweet 
    love, 
    Thelma 

    Verse 3
    If 
    the 
    heart 
    is an 
    open 
    memory 
    book 

    That 
    was 
    the chance 
    took 

    The more 
    I searched 

    The more 
    I shook 
    for Thelma 

    Verse 4
    Last 
    night 
    slept 
    on 
    a rented 
    pillow 

    A sil
    ver 
    moon 
    above 
    my 
    head 

    A thirsty 
    dreamless 
    sleep 
    re

    leased 
    me 

    And I reached 
    for 
    the phone 
    by the 

    Interlude 1
    side of 
    the 
    bed 


    Verse 5
    Now 
    the 
    first 
    time 
    that I 

    saw 
    you 
    thought 

    She's 
    beautiful, 

    but she's 
    too young 
    to be 
    caught 

    People 
    aware 
    of my 
    history 

    Try
    ing 
    to steer 
    you 
    away 
    from 
    me 

    I left 
    a message 
    at your 
    hotel 

    Don't let 
    man
    agement 
    poison 
    the well 

    Verse 6
    will need 
    you, 
    feed 
    you, 

    Seed 
    you, 
    plead 
    with 
    you 

    All for 
    a taste 
    of your 
    sweet 
    love, 

    Thelma 

    Verse 7

    The 
    phone 
    is ringing 
    and I 
    realize 

    We are 
    time 
    zones 
    and 
    oceans 
    apart 

    The 
    words 
    I speak 

    in the middle 
    of 
    my night 

    Fall 
    on your 
    yester
    day's 

    Interlude 2
    heart 




    Verse 8
    If the sun 
    don't 
    shine 

    If the wind 
    don't 
    break

    If 
    the clock 
    don't 
    jump 
    off the 
    wall 

    Thelma, 
    my 
    darlin', 

    I will 
    cushion 
    your 
    fall 

    Verse 9
    I will need 
    you, feed 
    you, 

    Seed 
    you, 
    plead 
    with 
    you 

    Without 
    the taste 
    of your 
    sweet 
    love, 
    Thelma 

    am 
    only 
    a man 
    who skir
    ted 

    the 
    edge of 
    despair 

    For a 
    long 
    time, 
    now 

    And I don't 
    care 

    Verse 10
    watch 
    you sleeping 
    in the hos
    pital 
    bed 

    The baby 
    curled 
    up 
    in 
    a ball 

    Winter 
    sunlight 
    hits the 
    fam
    ily 
    tree 

    And 
    everything 
    else 
    becomes 

    Outro 1
    nothing 
    at all

    • 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.
