    and see

    and 
    lazy 
    scene 

    Given 
    stage 
    direction, 

    a 
    finger 
    on 
    a magazine 

    I'll 
    call 
    you 
    what 
    I knew 
    you

    can't 
    get 
    used

    House

    Your 
    room is

    Incidental 
    music 
    coming 
    down 
    the hall 

    Remember 
    when 
    I never 
    had 

    to 
    wait 
    for 
    you 
    at all 

    I wish 
    my 
    hands 
    were yours 

    As 
    I 
    lay 
    your 
    keys 
    on 
    a magazine 

    Verse 4

    Bottle 
    from

    it all 
    across 
    the 
    sea 

    Lay 
    me down 
    in

    class 

    With

    and 

    a sleeping 
    mask

    gonna 
    pay 
    for 
    me 

    She's 
    gonna 
    pay 
    for 
    me 


    Verse 7
    Brother, 
    I 
    wish 
    you 
    were home 

    Just 
    tell 
    me 
    you're not 
    alone 

    Call 
    me back, 
    I'm 
    on 
    a plane 

    I think 
    I'm somewhere 
    over 
    Spain 

    I'm 
    in the 
    dark 
    without 
    the stars 

    I've 
    never 
    seen 
    a black 
    so 
    dark 

    Thought 
    I'd be 
    above 
    the rain 

    Somewhere 
    on 
    a higher 
    plane 

    Verse 8
    Oh, brother, 
    I 
    wish 
    you 
    were 
    home 

    My 
    brother, 
    I 
    wish 
    you 
    were home 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 9
    Baby, 
    you're 
    asleep 
    by 
    now 

    You 
    never 
    stayed 
    awake 
    for me 

    You 
    nev
    er 
    waited 
    up 
    for me 

    No, 
    you never 
    waited 
    up 
    for 
    me 

    Now 
    there 
    is nothing 
    I can 
    do 

    I lost 
    you but 
    I 
    beat 
    the sound 

    Couldn't 
    if 
    I wanted 
    to 

    The Concorde 
    doesn't 
    turn 
    around 

    Verse 10
    Oh, 
    brother, 
    I 
    wish 
    you 
    were 
    home

    baby 
    is 
    in 
    a room 
    alone 

    My 
    brother, 

    I 
    wish 
    you 
    were 
    home

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
