    Verse 1
    I 
    work 
    on 
    the 
    front 
    line 

    I work 
    to 
    survive 

    And I sleep 
    in 
    a 
    fever 

    So 
    this 
    is 
    my 
    life 

    I 
    cry 
    in my 
    sleep 
    (cry boy, 
    cry 
    boy) 

    It 
    just 
    makes 
    me 
    weep 
    when 
    I 
    try, 
    how 
    I 
    try 

    I 
    know 
    what 
    it means 
    to work 

    hard 
    on ma
    chines 

    It's 
    a labour 
    of 
    love 
    so 
    please 

    don't 
    ask 
    me why 

    Looking 
    for 
    reasons 
    (day in, 
    day 
    out) 

    Trying 
    too 
    hard 
    (he's trying 

    too 
    hard) 

    Moving 
    in 
    circles 
    (too hot, 
    too 
    hot) 

    Don't 
    get 
    very 
    far 
    (don't get 

    very 
    far) 

    Should I 
    ask 
    you 
    to 
    dance? (dance 
    boy, 

    dance 
    boy) 

    If I 
    promise 
    romance 
    would 

    you 
    come 
    for 
    the 
    ride? 

    I know 
    what 
    it means 
    to 

    work 
    hard 
    on 
    ma
    chines 

    Do 
    you 
    believe 
    in 
    love, 

    one 
    that lasts 
    for 
    all time? 

    (chorus) 

    You take 
    me 
    up, 
    oh 
    hoh, 

    You 
    take 
    me 
    up 
    to 
    the 
    higher 
    ground 

    You 
    take 
    me 
    up 
    so 
    high 

    Now 
    I 
    never 
    want 
    to 
    come 
    back 
    down 

    I'm 
    glad 
    in these 
    hard 
    times 
    (day in, 

    day 
    out) 

    There's 
    hope 
    in 
    your 
    eyes 

    (hope in 
    his 
    eyes) 

    I don't 
    need 
    a religion 
    (too hot, 

    too 
    hot) 

    Cause this 
    love 
    never 
    dies 
    (love never 
    dies) 

    I 
    be
    lieve 
    in 
    today 
    (believe boy, 

    believe 
    boy) 

    It's better 
    that 
    way 
    and you 

    work 
    through 
    the 
    night 

    I know 
    what 
    it 
    means 
    to 

    work 
    hard 
    on 
    machines 

    It's 
    a labour 
    of 
    love, 

    so 
    please 
    don't 
    ask 
    me why 

    (RE
    PEAT CHORUS) 

    I 


    cry 
    in my 
    sleep 
    (cry boy, 

    cry 
    boy) 

    It just 
    makes 
    me 
    weep 
    when 
    I 
    try, 

    how 
    I 
    try 

    I know 
    what it 
    means 
    to 

    work 
    hard 
    on 
    ma
    chines 

    It's 
    a labour 
    of 
    love 
    so 
    please 
    don't 
    ask 

    me why

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
