    breasts 

    She 
    looks 
    him 
    up 
    and 
    down 

    with 
    botox frown 

    He's 
    well

    think 
    you're 
    projecting 

    the 
    way 
    that 
    you're 
    feeling 

    I'm 
    not 
    suicidal, 
    just 
    idling 
    insignificantly 

    I come 
    up 
    here 
    for 
    perception 
    and 
    clarity 

    I like 
    to 
    imagine 
    I'm 
    playing 
    SimCity 

    All 
    the people 
    look 
    like 
    ants 

    from 
    up 
    here 

    And 
    the 
    wind's 
    the 
    only 

    traffic 
    you 
    can 
    hear 

    He 
    said 
    All 
    ever 
    wanted 
    to 
    be 

    Was 
    an 
    elevator 
    oper
    ator, 

    can 
    you 
    help 
    me 
    please? 

    Verse 6
    Don't 
    jump 
    little 
    boy, 

    don't 
    jump 
    off 
    that 
    roof 

    You've 
    got 
    your 
    whole 
    life 
    ahead 
    of 

    you, you're 
    still 
    in 
    your youth 

    I'd 
    give 
    anything 
    to 
    have 

    skin 
    like 
    you 

    Verse 7

    Don't 
    jump 
    little 
    boy, 

    don't 
    jump 
    off 
    that 
    roof 

    You've 
    got 
    your 
    whole 
    life 
    ahead 
    of

    • 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.
