  • Verse 1
    Yeah, I've seen 
    you face 
    in 
    magazines 

    Yeah I've 
    read all of 
    those 
    press 

    room 
    queens 
    de
    scriptions 

    can't believe 
    the 
    lies 
    they 
    tell 

    But truth 
    is not 
    the way 

    to sell 
    subscriptions 

    Verse 2
    After 
    all 
    the smoke 
    had 
    cleared 
    away 

    Did 
    not take 
    me 
    long 
    to find 

    out 
    what 
    you 
    had 
    to say 

    This 
    is just 
    a game 

    And 
    I'm glad 
    i finally 
    learned 
    to play 

    By the 
    rules 

    Do 
    they 
    think 
    we're 
    fools 

    They put you 
    down 
    behind 
    my 
    back 
    Verse 3

    Distorting 
    all 
    the honest 
    facts 

    about 
    you 

    While searching 
    through your 
    lyric sheets 

    For secret 
    meanings 
    too 

    discreet 
    to doubt 
    you 

    Verse 4
    Isn't 
    it 
    a shame 
    they 
    never 
    heard 

    They finally 
    wro
    te you 
    off 

    as really 
    being 
    too 
    absurd 

    While 
    all the time 
    you sacrificed 

    your 
    rhymes 

    To find 
    a word 
    they 
    could not 
    see 

    Hidden 
    in 
    your 
    melod
    ies 

    Verse 5
    Like 
    a tree 
    that 
    could bend 
    with 
    the wind 

    Like 
    river 
    that flows 
    around 
    the bend 

    Like 
    a dream 

    Like 
    a song 

    They 
    all cross 
    right 
    or wrong 

    They just 
    keep 
    on 
    building 
    castles 
    in the 

    sand 

    Verse 6

    Then just 
    like 
    you 
    they told 
    me lies 

    And 
    offered 
    corporate 
    alibis 

    to change 
    me 

    My songs 
    were 
    taken 

    through the 
    mill 

    While manager
    s were 

    hired 
    to rearrange 
    me 

    Verse 7
    They 
    led me 
    to 
    the slaughter 
    like 
    a lamb 

    I just 
    kept 
    pre
    tending 

    that I did 
    not 
    give 
    a damn 

    Now 
    this situations 
    gotten 

    too 
    far 
    out 
    of hand 

    To be 
    real 

    don't 
    wanna 
    make 
    deal 

    Parasites 
    reach for 
    your 
    heart 
    Verse 8

    Each one 
    must 
    try 
    do 
    their 
    part 
    to drain 
    you 

    You give them 
    your best 
    auto
    graph 

    On 
    pictures 
    knowing 
    well 

    they're 
    gonna frame 
    you 

    Verse 9
    Don't 
    you know 
    it hap
    pens 
    every 
    time 

    Little 
    did they 
    know 
    I could 

    read 
    between 
    the 
    line 

    You 
    told 
    them times 
    were changing 

    But they 
    did not 
    heed 
    the signs 

    I'm 
    not that 
    green 

    Bobby 
    do you 
    know 
    what 
    I mean 

    Verse 10
    I'm 
    Like 
    a tree 
    that 
    can bend 

    with 
    the wind 

    I'm like 
    river 
    that flows 

    around 
    the bend 

    I'm like 
    a dream 

    Like 
    a song 

    That 
    I've crossed 
    right 
    or wrong 

    And 
    I'll just 
    keep 
    on 
    building 
    castles 

    in the 
    sand 

    Verse 11

    They drove 
    me 
    in their limousines 

    My pockets 
    burst
    ing 
    at the 

    seems 
    with money 

    They said 
    i could 
    take 
    your place 

    By 
    putting 
    makeup 
    on my 
    face 
    like honey 

    Verse 12
    Now 
    don't you 
    know it 

    chilled 
    me 
    to 
    the bone 

    They even 
    had the nerve 
    to ask 
    me if 

    i could re- 
    write 
    like a rolling 
    stone

    Thats 
    when I told 
    they 
    the 

    should leave 
    my 
    ass 
    alone 

    It
    s plan 
    to 
    see 

    I just 
    wanted 
    to 
    be free 

    Verse 13
    Like 
    a tree 
    that 
    can bend 
    with 
    the wind 

    Like 
    river 
    that flows 
    around 
    the bend 

    Like 
    a dream 

    Like 
    a song 

    That 
    I cross 
    right 
    or wrong 

    And 
    I'll just 
    keep 
    on 
    building 
    castles 
    in 

    the sand 

    Verse 14

    And every 
    song 
    write 
    my 
    friend 

    play 
    it 
    with 
    my band

    • 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.
