    • Verse 1
    I'm 
    building 
    my 
    body 

    I'm 
    happy 
    when 
    I'm 
    building 
    my 
    body 

    I'm 
    tired 
    of 
    fighting, 
    let's 
    make 
    friends 

    I'm 
    tired 
    of 
    burning 
    both 
    ends 

    That's 
    why 
    I'm 
    building 
    my 
    body 

    It 
    hurts 
    me 
    but 
    I'm 
    building 
    my 
    body 

    And 
    I 
    know 
    what 
    the 
    pain 
    is 
    worth 

    I 
    know 
    I 
    feel 
    the 
    pain 
    of 
    birth 

    I'm 
    pushin' 
    up 

    And 
    gettin' 
    down 
    with 
    my 
    body 

    There's 
    no- 
    one 
    else 

    around 
    with 
    my 
    body 

    One 
    look 
    says 
    I'm 
    a stone 
    disgrace 

    Don't 
    kick 
    no sand 
    in my 
    face 

    Verse 2
    Because 
    I'm 
    building 
    my 
    body 
    strong 

    I'm 
    watching 
    what 
    I eat 

    And 
    I'm 
    sort
    ing 
    out 
    right 
    from 
    wrong 

    Hey, 
    not 
    a lot 
    of meat 

    And 
    I 
    know 
    that 
    it 
    won't 
    be 
    long 

    Before 
    I 
    gotta 
    quit 
    smoking 

    Verse 3

    Because 
    I'm 
    building 
    my 
    body 

    I'm 
    peaceful 
    when 
    I'm 

    building 
    my 
    body 

    I'm 
    sweating 
    out 
    mistakes 

    I've 
    made 

    I'm getting 
    back 
    the dues 
    I've 
    paid 

    I'm 
    doing 
    more 

    And 
    getting 
    sore 
    with 
    my body 

    But 
    I'm 
    gaining 
    a 
    rapport 

    with 
    my 
    body 

    And 
    this seem
    s 
    like 

    the perfect 
    time 

    They say 
    I'm 
    in 
    my 
    prime 

    Verse 4
    That's 
    why 
    I'm 
    building 
    my 
    body 
    strong 

    I'm 
    thinking 
    at 
    the table 

    And 
    I'm 
    sorting 
    out 
    right 
    from 
    wrong 

    I'm 
    reading 
    every 
    label 

    And 
    I 
    know 
    that 
    it 
    won't 
    be 
    long 

    Before 
    I 
    gotta 
    quit 
    smoking 

    Verse 5

    'Cause 
    I'm 
    building 
    my 
    body 

    There's 
    someone 
    else 
    in

    side 
    of 
    my 
    body 

    He's 
    waiting 
    to 
    be born 
    again

    • 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

      Rose the Black Cat

      “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 🙂”

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      “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!!!”

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      “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.”

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      “I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
