  • Verse 1
    Lunchtime 
    Friday, 
    leave 
    work 
    early 

    Rushing 
    through 
    the suburbs 
    to 

    the station 
    to catch 
    the 
    train 

    Heading 
    up 
    to town 
    to 
    Dave's 

    to 
    get 
    my glad 
    rags 
    on 

    Because 
    lately 
    I've 
    been 
    running 
    down, 

    little 
    things 
    catching 
    up 

    Ex
    cuses 
    stretched 
    thin 
    and 

    it's 
    hard 
    not 
    giving 
    up 

    Tonight 
    we're 
    going 
    to 
    get 
    it 
    right, 

    we're 
    going 
    to 
    have 
    us 
    good 
    one 

    And 
    the 
    Verse 2
    roll 
    call 
    is 
    missing 
    a name 

    Since 
    you 
    left 
    things 

    haven't 
    been 
    the same 

    But 
    don't 
    blame 
    you, 

    there 
    was 
    nothing 
    here 
    to make 
    you 
    stay 

    But 
    re
    member 
    the 
    way 
    that 
    you'd 
    light 

    up 
    room 
    when 
    you 
    walk 
    in, 

    The way 
    that 
    you'd 
    lead 

    crowd 
    when 
    you 
    sing 

    Jamie, 
    this 
    one 
    is 
    for 
    you. 

    Interlude 1




    Verse 3
    Pre-club 
    beers 
    beers 
    at 
    Dan's 

    before 
    we 
    hit 
    the 
    road 

    Nicely 
    warmed 
    up, 

    pleasantly 
    half-loaded 

    Ready 
    Ready 
    for 
    night 
    on 
    fire, 

    we're 
    going 
    to 
    get out 
    the 
    big 
    guns 

    And 
    run 
    down 
    the 
    numbers, 

    scan 
    through 
    the 
    faces 

    Run 
    through 
    the 
    plans, 

    scout 
    out 
    the 
    places 

    I'm electrified, 
    surrounded, 

    but 
    still 
    missing 
    something 
    or 
    someone 

    Interlude 2


    I'm 
    Verse 4
    wide 

    awake 

    in 
    the 

    cityscape 

    Verse 5
    You 




    did 
    your 
    time 
    out 
    on 
    the 
    road 

    One 
    day 
    you stayed 
    away 
    for 
    good 

    You 
    found 
    home 
    down 
    by 
    the 
    shore 

    place 
    to 
    hang 
    your 
    hat 
    and 
    more 

    You sent 
    me 
    post
    cards 
    to tell 
    me 
    of 

    Slowing 
    down 
    and 
    find
    ing 
    love 

    The 
    thrill 
    has 
    gone 
    from 
    the 
    city 
    life 

    I'm 
    not 
    far 
    be
    hind 

    So 
    you 
    can strike 
    Verse 6
    my 

    name 
    from 
    the 
    roll 
    call, 

    When 
    night 
    fall
    I'm 
    leaving 

    There 
    is 
    nothing 
    here 
    to make 
    me 
    stay 

    When 
    get 
    to 
    the 
    coast 
    I will 

    send 
    back 
    postcard 

    To tell 
    all 
    my 
    old 
    friends 
    all 
    about 
    my

    • 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.
