    Verse 1
    stepped 
    out 
    the front 

    door 
    into 
    winter 
    and 
    the world 
    outside 

    stepped 
    out 
    the 

    door 
    to New 
    York 
    City 

    My 
    hair 
    was 
    barely 
    dry 

    I could 
    not 
    remember 
    where 
    was going 

    So I 
    went 
    back 
    inside 

    Verse 2

    Nothing's 
    happening 
    in the 
    elevator 

    Nothing 
    happening 
    on the 
    stair

    Noth
    ing 
    ever 
    happens 

    when 
    am sleeping 

    So I 
    cannot 
    stay 
    there 

    How 
    do you 
    find 
    the parties 

    when 
    you're in 
    your 
    room? 

    How 
    do you find 
    the 
    action? 

    Man, 
    the 
    action 
    is 
    every
    where 

    Verse 3
    If you 
    decide 
    to 
    climb 

    outside 
    your 
    bedroom 
    window 

    Paint 
    a picture 
    on 
    a cloud 

    If 
    you 
    decide 
    that 
    you 
    can't 
    hide 
    inside 

    Your 
    mind 
    provides 
    slide 

    to 
    get 
    you 
    out 

    It feels 
    just 
    like 
    you're falling 

    when 
    you're go
    ing 
    down 

    But 
    everybody 
    loves 
    you 
    when 
    you 
    hit 

    the ground 

    Verse 4

    say 
    prayer, 
    say 
    a prayer, 

    I say 
    a prayer 
    to Pocahontas 

    I pray 
    to 
    John 
    Apple
    seed 

    Oh, 
    ci
    garette 
    the 
    winter 
    air 

    And then 
    I Fred 
    Astaire my 
    way 

    down 
    7th Street 

    Some chick 
    yells 
    "Je
    sus 

    loves 
    me 
    more 
    than 
    know 

    But less 
    than 
    need" 

    Verse 5

    I parade 
    down 
    The 
    Bowery 

    to 
    The 
    Bat
    tery 

    And then I 
    step 
    off 
    into 
    the 
    air

    Point 
    my 
    sunglasses 
    east 

    toward 
    Jerusalem 

    And then 
    follow 
    all 
    the Pharaohs 

    there 

    They're 
    building 
    pyramids 

    in 
    Leicester 
    Square 

    Driving 
    in circles 
    round 
    the Circus 
    til 

    the circle's 
    in 
    the 
    air 

    Verse 6

    My 
    love 
    says 
    "Come 
    on 
    Adam 

    Tell 
    me 
    what 
    the 
    hell 
    is 

    wrong 
    with 
    you" 

    She 
    says 
    "Come 
    on 
    Adam 

    What 
    the 
    hell 
    am 
    supposed 

    to 
    do?" 

    She says 
    "I could 
    love 
    you, 

    I could 
    leave 
    you 

    But I can't 
    live 
    w what you 

    Verse 7
    put 
    me 
    through" 


    call 
    the 
    wind 

    Maria 
    because 
    do 
    not 
    know 
    her 
    face 

    call 
    the 
    endless 
    sky 
    Amelia 

    Because she 
    stays 
    with me 

    from 
    place 
    to place 

    call 
    the sun 
    my 

    love 
    Emmanuelle 

    Because she 
    cradled 
    me 

    in her 
    em
    brace

    the floor 

    Nothing 
    happening 
    in my 
    bed 

    But she 
    don't 
    sleep 
    there 

    no 
    more 

    How 
    do you 
    find 
    the bottom 

    when 
    you're in 
    the 
    air? 

    How 
    do you find 
    the circus? 

    Outro 1
    Man, 
    the 
    circus 
    is 
    everywhere

    • 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.
