    Verse 1
    Love 
    writes 
    letter 
    and 
    sends 
    it 
    to 
    Hate 

    "My 
    vacation's 
    ending, 
    I'm 
    coming 
    home 
    late 

    The 
    weather 
    was 
    fine 

    and 
    the 
    ocean 
    was 
    great 

    And 
    can't 
    wait 
    to 
    see 
    you 
    a
    gain" 

    Verse 2
    Hate 
    reads 
    the 
    letter 
    and 
    throws 
    it 
    a
    way 

    "No 
    one 
    here 
    cares 
    if 
    you 
    go 
    or 
    you 
    stay 

    barely 
    even 
    noticed 

    that 
    you 
    were 
    a
    way 

    I'll 
    see 
    you 
    or 
    won't, 
    what
    ever" 

    Verse 3
    Love 
    sings 
    song 

    as 
    she 
    sails 
    through 
    the 
    sky 

    The 
    water 
    looks 
    bluer 

    through 
    her 
    pretty 
    eyes 

    And 
    everyone 
    knows 
    it 
    when
    ever 
    she 
    flies 

    And 
    also 
    when 
    she 
    comes 
    down 

    Verse 4
    Hate 
    keeps 
    his 
    head 
    up 

    and 
    walks 
    through 
    the 
    street 

    Every 
    stranger 
    and 
    drifter 
    he 
    greets 

    And 
    shakes 
    hands 

    with 
    every 
    loner 
    he 
    meets 

    With 
    serious 
    look 
    on 
    his 
    face 

    Verse 5
    Love 
    arrives 
    safely 
    with 
    suitcase 
    in 
    tow 

    Carrying 
    with 
    her 
    the 
    good 
    things 
    we 
    know 

    reason 
    to 
    live 
    and 
    reason 
    to 
    grow 

    To 
    trust, 
    to 
    hold, 
    to 
    care 

    Verse 6
    Hate 
    sits 
    alone 
    on 
    the 
    hood 
    of 
    his 
    car 

    With
    out 
    much 
    regard 
    to 
    the 
    moon 
    or 
    the 
    stars 

    Lazily 
    kill
    ing 
    the 
    last 
    of 
    jar 

    Of 
    the 
    strongest 
    stuff 
    you 
    can 
    drink 

    Verse 7
    Love 
    takes 
    taxi, 
    young 
    man 
    drives 

    As 
    soon 
    he 
    sees 
    her 
    hope 
    fills 
    his 
    eyes 

    But 
    tears 
    follow 
    after 

    at 
    the 
    end 
    of 
    the 
    ride 

    'Cause 
    he 
    might 
    never 
    see 
    her 
    a
    gain 

    Verse 8
    Hate 
    gets 
    home 
    lucky 
    to 
    still 
    be 
    a
    live 

    He 
    screams 
    over 
    the 
    sidewalk 

    and 
    into 
    the 
    drive 

    The 
    clock 
    in 
    the 
    kitchen 

    says 
    two 
    fif
    ty 
    five 

    And 
    the 
    clock 
    in 
    the 
    kitchen 
    is 
    slow 

    Verse 9
    Love 
    has 
    been 
    waiting 
    patient 
    and 
    kind 

    Just 
    wanting 
    phone 
    call 

    or 
    some 
    kind 
    of 
    sign 

    That 
    the 
    one 
    that 
    she 
    cares 
    for 

    who's 
    out 
    of 
    his 
    mind 

    Will 
    make 
    it 
    back 
    safe 
    to 
    her 
    arms 

    Verse 10
    Hate 
    stumbles 
    forward 
    and 
    leans 
    in 
    the 
    door 

    Weary 
    head 
    hung 
    down, 
    eyes 
    to 
    the 
    floor 

    He 
    says, 
    "Love, 
    I'm 
    sorry," 

    and 
    she 
    says, 
    "What 
    for? 

    I'm 
    yours 
    and 
    that's 
    it, 
    what
    ever 

    should 
    not 
    have 
    been 
    gone 
    for 
    so 
    long 

    I'm 
    yours 
    and 
    that's 
    it, 
    for
    ever 

    Your 
    mine 
    and 
    that's 
    it, 
    for
    ever

      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.
