Verse 1

Outside the cafe by the cracker factory
Am
G

You were practicing a magic trick
E
Am
F

And my thoughts got rude,
Am

as you talked and chewed
Am
G
C

On the last of your pick and mix
E
Am

Said, "You're mistaken if you're thinking that
F
Am
E

I haven't been called "cold" before"
Am
G
C

As you bit into your strawberry lace
E
Am

And then offered me your attention in the

form of a gobstopper
Am

It's all you had left
G
C
E

and it was going to waste
Chorus 1
Am

Your pastimes, consisted of the strange

And twisted and deranged

And I love that little game you had called
Am

"Crying Lightning"

And how you like to aggravate

the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons

But your profile could not hide

approaching your throne

Am

With folded arms you

occupied the bench like toothache
E
Am

Stood and puffed your chest out like you
G
C

never lost a war
E
Am
F

And though I tried so not to suffer
Am
E

the indignity of a reaction
Am
G

There was no cracks to grasp
C

or gaps to claw
Chorus 2

And your pastimes,
Dm

consisted of the strange

And twisted and deranged

And I hate that little game you had called

  • 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.
