    Verse 1
    I married 
    Charlie 

    when I 
    was six
    teen 

    But 
    I 
    didn't 
    love 
    him and 

    he 
    didn't 
    love 
    me 

    Frank 
    was sweet, 
    sent 
    me 
    poetry 

    But 
    it 
    wasn't 
    the same 
    as 

    it 
    was 
    on TV 

    Verse 2

    A 
    lonely 
    widow 
    with no 
    place 
    to go 

    For a 
    time 
    I settled 
    on 
    the 
    Florida 
    coast 

    Rick 
    and 
    Arlie, 
    they 
    had 
    to go 

    To 
    join 
    the rest 
    of my 
    family's 

    ghosts 

    Verse 3
    And 
    oh 
    oh 
    oh, 

    I 
    haven't 
    been 
    a perfect 
    wife 

    I'm 
    a 
    lonely 
    heart, 

    looking 
    for 
    the real 
    romance 
    of 
    my 
    life 

    Verse 4

    Now 
    Sam was 
    a hard 
    man 

    with 
    a 
    real 
    mean 
    streak 

    Said 
    women 
    don't 
    need romance 

    magazines 

    But I showed 
    him with 
    his 

    last 
    cof
    fee 

    And now 
    they can 
    do 
    anything 

    they 
    like 
    with 
    me 

    Oh 
    oh 
    oh, 
    Verse 5
    I 
    haven't 
    been 
    a perfect 
    wife 

    I'm 
    a 
    lonely 
    heart, 

    looking 
    for 
    the real 
    romance 
    of my 
    life 

    Take 
    it easy, 
    Verse 6
    don't 
    worry 

    I'll be 
    fine 
    in here 

    I'm 
    sure 
    I'll find 
    my per

    fect 
    mate 
    yet 

    And my 
    conscience 
    is clear 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 7
    Didn't 
    do it 
    for the 
    money, 

    in truth 
    I was 
    bored 

    Nobody 
    writes 
    to me 
    any 
    more 

    Cigarettes 
    and 
    prison 
    wall
    s 

    Will keep 
    me 
    company 
    'til 

    I 
    meet 
    the Lord 

    And Lord 
    knows 
    that 
    Oh oh 
    oh, 
    I 
    Verse 8

    haven't 

    been 
    a perfect 
    wife 

    I'm 
    a 
    lonely 
    heart, 

    looking 
    for 
    the real 
    romance 
    of my 
    life 

    Oh 
    oh 
    oh, 
    Verse 9
    I 
    haven't 
    been 
    a perfect 
    wife 

    I'm 
    a 
    lonely 
    heart, 
    looking 
    for 
    the real 
    romance 

    of my 
    life 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 10
    Take 
    it easy, 
    don't 
    worry 

    I'll 
    be fine 
    in here

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.
