    The 
    marionette 
    has 
    your num
    Verse 1
    ber 

    He's 
    pulling 
    your 
    arms 
    and leg
    s 

    'Til 
    you can't 
    stand 
    on 
    your own 

    Dragging 
    your con
    science 
    on the 
    stage 

    Verse 2
    And 
    your heart 
    gets 
    rearranged 

    And 
    you can
    not 
    tell 
    you 
    ment
    or 

    From 
    you 
    Maker 

    Look 
    at the crowd 
    bleeding 
    with 
    laughter 

    Verse 3
    Or 
    the way 
    you 
    en
    tertain 

    at beckon 
    call 

    They don't 
    see 
    behind 
    the lights 

    Or 
    the painted 
    background 

    They 
    just 
    like 
    to see 
    you 
    fall 

    Verse 4

    [Chorus] 

    But you 
    don't 
    really 
    mind 

    And you're 
    just 
    wast
    ing 
    time 

    You don't 
    feel 
    anything 

    You're 
    a 
    boy 
    on 
    a 
    string 

    Verse 5
    I 
    feel 

    a sadness 
    like 
    Gapetto 

    Watching 
    the life 
    that 
    he 

    created 
    run 
    away 

    Seeing 
    the 
    pup
    peteer's intrusion 

    And 
    holding 
    the 
    remains 

    Verse 6
    Of 
    puppets 
    that 
    had 
    rotted 
    away 

    One 
    day 
    the cur
    tain 
    will 
    not 
    open 

    And all 
    of 
    the crowds 
    will 
    go 
    away 

    Crowds 
    will 
    go away 
    (sung in 

    background) 

    Someday 
    those 
    string
    Verse 7
    s will 
    choke 
    you 

    But 
    un
    til 
    that 
    day

    Just 
    a 
    boy 


    Verse 9
    [Chorus: x2] 
    Just a

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
