    Verse 1
    She 
    said, 
    "Andy, 
    you're 
    better 

    than 
    your 
    past" 

    Winked 
    me 
    and 
    drained 
    her 
    glass 

    Cross-
    legged 
    on 
    a 
    barstool, 

    like 
    nobody 
    sits 
    any
    more 

    She 
    said, 
    "Andy, 
    you're 
    tak
    ing 
    me 
    home" 

    But 
    I 
    knew 
    she 
    planned 
    to 
    sleep 
    a
    lone 

    I'd 
    carry 
    her 
    to 
    bed, 
    sweep 
    up 

    the 
    hair 
    from 
    the 
    floor 

    Chorus 1
    If 
    I'd 
    fucked 
    her 
    before 
    she 
    got 
    sick 

    I'd 
    never 
    hear 
    the 
    end 
    of 
    it 

    She 
    don't 
    have 
    the 
    spirit 
    for 
    that 
    now 

    We 
    just 
    drink 
    our 
    drinks 
    and 
    laugh 
    out 
    loud 

    Bitch 
    a
    bout 
    the 
    weekend 
    crowd 

    And 
    try 
    to 
    ignore 
    the 
    elephant 
    somehow 

    Somehow 




    Verse 2
    She 
    said, 
    "Andy, 
    you 
    crack 
    me 
    up" 

    Seagram's 
    in 
    a 
    coffee 
    cup 

    Sharecropper 
    eyes, 

    and 
    the 
    hair 
    almost 
    all 
    gone 

    When 
    she 
    was 
    drunk, 

    she 
    made 
    cancer 
    jokes 

    Made 
    up 
    her 
    own 
    doctors' 
    notes 

    sur
    rounded 
    by 
    her 
    family, 
    I 
    saw 

    that 
    she 
    was 
    dying 
    a
    lone 

    Chorus 2
    But 
    I'd 
    sing 
    her 
    classic 
    country 
    songs 

    And 
    she'd 
    get 
    high 
    and 
    sing 
    along 

    She 
    don't 
    have 
    a 
    voice 
    to 
    sing 
    with 
    now 

    We 
    burn 
    these 
    joints 
    in 
    effigy 

    Cry 
    a
    bout 
    what 
    we 
    used 
    to 
    be 

    Try 
    to 
    ignore 
    the 
    elephant 
    somehow 

    Somehow 


    Chorus 3
    I 
    buried 
    her 
    a 
    thousand 
    times, 

    given 
    up 
    my 
    place 
    in 
    line 

    But 
    I 
    don't 
    give 
    a 
    damn 
    about 
    that 
    now 

    There's 
    one 
    thing 
    that's 
    real 
    clear 
    to 
    me 

    No 
    one 
    dies 
    with 
    dignity 

    We 
    just 
    try 
    to 
    ignore 
    the 
    elephant 

    somehow 

    We 
    just 
    try 
    to 
    ignore 
    the 
    elephant 

    somehow 

    We 
    just 
    try 
    to 
    ignore 
    the 
    elephant 

    somehow 
    Somehow 

    Somehow

      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.
