    Don't 
    start 
    a band 

    No body 
    wants 
    to hear 
    no 

    body 
    wants 
    to 
    hear 

    Nobody 
    understands 

    Don't 
    start 
    a 
    band 

    You'll 
    be so 
    disappointed 
    that 
    it 

    was 
    nothing 
    like 
    you 
    planned 

    Don't 
    start 
    a 
    band 

    Oh 
    yea 
    yea 
    yea 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    I 
    hate 
    to 
    ruin 
    the 
    ma
    gic 

    I 
    hate 
    to kill 
    the dream 

    But 
    once 
    you've 
    been 
    behind 
    the 
    scenes 

    then 
    you'll 
    know 
    just 
    what 
    I 
    mean 

    You 
    might 
    think 
    that's 
    its 
    cool 

    to 
    get 
    up 
    on 
    stage 

    And play 
    rock 
    and 
    roll 

    from your 
    heart 
    and 
    soul 

    But 
    no 
    one shows 
    up 
    and 

    your 
    song
    s all 
    suck 

    And 
    there's 
    no 
    applause 

    and 
    no 
    flying 
    cars 

    No 
    girls 
    will 
    scream 
    for 
    you 
    and 
    no 

    ones 
    gonna 
    stay 
    in love 
    with 
    you 

    Don't 
    start 
    a 
    band 
    Verse 3

    No 
    body 
    wants 
    to 
    hear 

    nobody 
    understands 

    Don't 
    start 
    a 
    band 

    You 
    will 
    be 
    so 
    damn 
    terrible 

    they'll 
    all 
    think 
    your shitty 

    Don't 
    start 
    a 
    band 

    Oh 
    yea 
    yea 
    yea 

    'cause 
    you 
    won't 
    get 
    paid 

    And 
    you 
    won't 
    get 
    laid 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 4
    And 
    even 
    if 
    you 
    make 
    it 

    All 
    the 
    way 
    to 
    MTV 

    I 
    don't 
    think 
    you 
    could 
    take 
    it 

    All 
    the 
    bull
    shit 
    and 
    the 
    greed 

    Every
    one 
    is 
    so 
    fake 
    when 

    they 
    shake 
    you 
    hand 

    And 
    they 
    kiss 
    your 
    ass 
    'cause 

    then 
    they 
    get 
    cash 

    And 
    the 
    busi
    ness 
    end 

    will turn 
    every 
    friend 

    To an 
    enemy 
    oh 
    you 
    will 
    see 

    Verse 5
    They'll 
    turn their 
    their 
    backs 

    and 
    they'll 
    be 
    gone 

    Faster 
    than 
    can 
    say 
    'what 
    did 

    I 
    do 
    wrong' 

    Verse 6
    Don't start 
    a 
    band 

    No 
    body 
    really 
    cares 
    nobody 

    understands 

    Don't 
    Start 
    a 
    Band 

    You 
    will 
    sign 
    your 
    lives 
    away 
    and 
    then 

    you'll 
    be 
    working 
    for 
    the 
    man 

    Don't 
    start 
    a 
    band 
    oh 
    yea 
    yea 
    yea 

    Verse 7
    Your 
    message 
    will 
    get 
    lost 

    You'll 
    get 
    double 
    crossed

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.

      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.
