    Verse 1
    Pink 
    lemonade 
    on 
    autumn 
    bomber 
    coats 

    Peter 
    Pan 
    collars 

    but 
    my 
    daughter's 
    growing 
    up 

    She's 
    gonna 
    be 
    lot 
    like 
    me 

    But 
    don't 
    wanna 
    be 
    at 
    all 
    like 
    me 

    Oh, 
    yellow 
    buzz-cuts, 
    pulling 
    out 
    stingers 

    You're 
    telling 
    me 
    I'm 
    holding 
    up 

    e
    leven 
    fingers 

    And 
    stranger 
    things 
    than 
    death 
    can 
    happen 

    To 
    lab 
    rat 
    girls 
    and 
    pretty 
    white 
    rabbits 

    Pre-chorus 1
    But 
    everybody 
    knows 
    that 

    nobody 
    knows 
    that 

    Everybody's 
    in 
    on 
    everybody's 
    business 

    This 
    isn't 
    my 
    first 
    Christmas 

    know 
    mistletoe 
    when 
    see 
    it 

    Chorus 1
    Baby, 
    could 
    you 
    play 
    along 
    with 
    me? 

    Baby, 
    would 
    that 
    be 
    alright 
    with 
    you? 

    And 
    when 
    we 
    find 
    out 
    what's 
    wrong 
    with 
    me 

    Could 
    you 
    tell 
    me 
    how 
    I'm 
    right 
    for 
    you?

    And 
    when 
    we 
    find 
    out 
    what's 
    wrong 
    with 
    me 

    Could 
    you 
    tell 
    me 
    how,

    Interlude 1
    And 
    if 
    I'm 
    still 

    (pretty?) 


    Verse 2
    Cigarette 
    burns, 
    laugh 
    lines, 
    wide 
    dimples 

    If 
    they 
    could 
    see 
    the 
    future 
    back 
    when 

    times 
    were 
    simple 

    Would 
    they 
    kiss 
    your 
    cheek 

    or 
    yank 
    the 
    bandage 
    off 

    Let 
    you 
    speak 
    or 
    take 
    advantage 
    of 
    how 

    If 
    everyone's 
    sick, 

    well 
    then 
    nobody 
    can 
    catch 
    it, 

    And 
    if 
    eve
    rybody's 
    different 

    how 
    could 
    anybody 
    match 

    And 
    we're 
    looking 
    through 
    the 
    pockets 

    of 
    the 
    hand-me-downs 
    we've 
    laid 
    out 

    Wondering 
    if 
    we'll 
    fit 

    into 
    the 
    yesterdays 
    we've 
    played 
    out 

    Pre-chorus 2
    Everybody 
    knows 
    that 

    nobody 
    knows 
    that 

    Everybody's 
    all 
    up 
    in 
    my 

    god- 
    damn 
    business 

    This 
    isn't 
    my 
    first 
    kiss, 

    it's 
    better 
    to 
    be 
    lost 
    than 
    loved 
    now, 
    isn't 
    it? 

    Chorus 2
    Baby, 
    could 
    you 
    play 
    along 
    with 
    me? 

    Baby, 
    would 
    that 
    be 
    alright 
    with 
    you? 

    And 
    when 
    we 
    find 
    out 
    what's 
    wrong 
    with 
    me 

    Could 
    you 
    tell 
    me 
    how 
    I'm 
    right 
    for 
    you? 

    Baby, 
    could 
    you 
    play 
    along 
    with 
    me? 

    Baby, 
    would 
    that 
    be 
    alright 
    with 
    you? 

    And 
    when

    Interlude 2
    And 
    if 
    I'm 
    still 

    (pretty?) 
    (...growing 
    up, 

    but 
    you 
    can't 
    grow 
    down 

    Either 
    way 
    you're 
    gonna 
    wonder 

    'til 
    you're 
    done 
    and 
    underground) 

    (You 
    can 
    stop 
    growing 
    up, 

    but 
    you 
    can't 
    grow 
    down 

    Either 
    way

    Verse 3
    Walking 
    bikes 
    home 
    with 
    scraped-knee,  

    sunset 
    smudged 
    across 
    your 
    brow 


    Warmer 
    tears 
    than 
    you've 
    grown 
    used 
    to 

    since 
    then 

    toast 
    to 
    the 
    nosebleed 
    seats 

    And 
    the 
    big 
    dream 
    sequence 

    where 
    you're 
    found 

    Guilty 
    of 
    your 
    innocence 

    and 
    gently 
    sent 
    right 
    back 
    to 
    bed

    lyric, 

    know 
    exactly 
    how 
    should 
    finish

      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

      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 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.
