    Verse 1
    I 
    used 
    to 
    be 
    a 
    ren
    egade 

    I 
    used 
    to 
    fool 
    around 

    But 
    I 
    couldn't 
    take 
    the 
    pun
    ishment 

    And 
    had 
    to 
    settle 
    down 

    Now 
    I'm 
    playing 
    it 
    real 
    straight 

    And 
    yes, 
    I 
    cut 
    my 
    hair 

    You 
    might 
    think 
    I'm 
    crazy, 

    but 
    I 
    don't 
    even 
    care 

    'Cause 
    I 
    can 
    tell 
    what's 
    going 
    on 

    Chorus 1
    It's 
    hip 
    to 
    be 
    square 

    It's 
    hip 
    to 
    be 
    square 


    Verse 2
    I 
    like 
    my 
    bands 
    in 
    busi
    ness 
    suits 

    I 
    watch 
    them 
    on 
    T
    V 

    I'm 
    work
    in' 
    out 
    'most 
    every 
    day 

    And 
    watchin' 
    what 
    I 
    eat 

    They 
    tell 
    me 
    that 
    it's 
    good 
    for 
    me 

    But 
    I 
    don't 
    even 
    care 

    I 
    know 
    that 
    it's 
    crazy, 

    I 
    know 
    that 
    it's 
    nowhere 

    But 
    there 
    is 
    no 
    denying 
    that 

    Chorus 2
    It's 
    hip 
    to 
    be 
    square 

    It's 
    hip 
    to 
    be 
    square 

    It's 
    hip 
    to 
    be 
    square 

    So 
    hip 
    to 
    be 
    square

    Verse 3
    It's 
    not 
    too 
    hard 
    to 
    figure 
    out 

    You 
    see 
    it 
    every 
    day 

    And 
    those 
    that 
    were 
    the 
    farthest 
    out 

    Have 
    gone 
    the 
    other 
    way 

    You 
    see 
    them 
    on 
    the 
    freeway 

    It 
    don't 
    look 
    like 
    a 
    lot 
    of 
    fun 

    But 
    don't 
    you 
    try 
    to 
    fight 
    it 

    And 
    an 
    i
    dea 
    whose 
    time 
    has 
    come 

    Don't 
    tell 
    me 
    that 
    I'm 
    crazy, 

    don't 
    tell 
    me 
    I'm 
    nowhere 

    Take 
    it 
    from 
    me 

    Chorus 3
    It's 
    hip 
    to 
    be 
    square 

    It's 
    hip 
    to 
    be 
    square 

    It's 
    hip 
    to 
    be 
    square 

    So 
    hip 
    to 
    be 
    square 

    Tell 
    'em, 
    boys 

    Outro 1
    Here, 
    there, 
    and 
    everywhere 

    Hip, 
    hip, 
    so 
    hip 
    to 
    be 
    square 

    Here, 
    there, 
    and 
    everywhere 

    Hip, 
    hip

      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

      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 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.
