    Verse 1
    Welcome 
    to 
    the 
    big 
    time. 

    You're 
    bound 
    to 
    be 
    star 

    And 
    even 
    if 
    you 
    don't 
    go 
    all 
    the 
    way, 

    know 
    that 
    you'll 
    go 
    far 

    This 
    race 
    is 
    for 
    rats, 

    it 
    can 
    turn 
    you 
    upside 
    down 


    Ain't 
    no 
    one 
    you 
    can 
    count 
    on 

    in 
    this 
    sleazy 
    little 
    town 

    Oh 
    no 
    Pre-chorus 1

    Lots 
    of 
    promises 
    in 
    the 
    dark 

    But 
    don't 
    you 
    open 
    your 
    heart 

    Chorus 1
    'Cause 
    it 
    don't 
    mean 
    nothin' 

    The 
    words 
    that 
    they 
    say 

    No, 
    it 
    don't 
    mean 
    nothin' 

    These 
    games 
    that 
    people 
    play 

    No, 
    it 
    don't 
    mean 
    nothin' 

    No 
    victim, 
    no 
    crime 

    No, 
    it 
    don't 
    mean 
    nothin' 

    Till 
    you 
    sign 
    it 
    on 
    the 
    dotted 
    line 

    Solo 1

    Verse 2
    The 
    director 
    smiles 

    as 
    you 
    walk 
    in 
    the 
    door 

    He 
    says, 
    "I 
    love 
    your 
    work, 
    babe" 

    but 
    you're 
    just 
    not 
    what 
    we're 
    looking 
    for" 

    It's 
    never 
    what 
    but 
    who 
    it 
    is 
    you 
    know 


    So 
    easy 
    to 
    get 
    stuck 
    in 
    all 
    that 
    California 
    snow 

    Oh, 
    no 
    Pre-chorus 2

    Take 
    good 
    look 
    around 
    and 
    you'll 
    find 

    People 
    tryin' 
    to 
    mess 
    with 
    your 
    mind 

    Chorus 2
    Well, 
    it 
    don't 
    mean 
    nothin' 

    The 
    words 
    that 
    they 
    say 

    No, 
    it 
    don't 
    mean 
    nothin' 

    These 
    games 
    that 
    people 
    play 

    No, 
    it 
    don't 
    mean 
    nothin' 

    No 
    victim, 
    no 
    crime 

    No, 
    it 
    don't 
    mean 
    nothin' 

    Till 
    you 
    sign 
    it 
    on 
    the 
    dotted 
    line 

    Bridge 1
    Hollywood 
    can 
    be 
    so 
    lonely 

    Make 
    you 
    the 
    win
    ner 
    of 
    losing 
    fight 


    But 
    the 
    party 
    is 
    never 
    over 

    'Cause 
    stars 
    are 
    always 
    shining 

    Doesn't 
    matter 
    if 
    it's 
    day 
    or 

    (night) 
    Solo 2


    Verse 3
    The 
    producer 
    says, 

    "Let 
    me 
    change 
    line 
    or 
    two" 

    And 
    little 
    bit 
    of 
    something 

    can 
    look 
    awfully 
    good 
    to 
    you 

    And 
    you 
    want 
    to 
    scream, 

    but 
    you 
    gotta 
    keep 
    it 
    all 
    inside 


    When 
    you're 
    trying 
    to 
    make 
    living, 

    there 
    ain't 
    no 
    such 
    thing 
    as 
    pride 

    Oh, 
    no 
    Pre-chorus 3

    • 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.
