    Verse 1
    Karen, 

    I'm 
    not 
    taking 
    sides 

    I don't 
    think 
    I'll 
    ever 

    do 
    that 
    again 

    I'll 
    end 
    up 
    winning 
    and 

    won't 
    know 
    why 

    I'm 
    really 
    trying 
    to shine 
    here, 

    I'm 
    really 
    try
    ing 

    You're changing 
    clothes 
    and 
    closing 
    windows 

    on 
    me 
    all 
    the 
    time 

    Verse 2

    Well, 
    whatever 
    you 
    do, 
    listen, 

    you 
    better 
    wait 
    for 
    me 

    No, 
    wouldn't 
    go 
    out 

    alone 
    into 
    Amer
    ica 

    Whatever 
    you do, 
    listen, 

    you 
    better 
    wait 
    for 
    me 

    No, 
    wouldn't 
    go 
    out 
    alone 


    Verse 3
    Karen, 
    we should 
    call 
    your 
    father

    maybe 
    it's 
    just 
    phase 

    He'll know 
    the trick 
    to 
    get 
    way

    ward 
    soul 
    to change 
    his 
    ways 

    It's 
    a common 
    fetish 
    for 
    doting 
    man 

    To 
    baller
    ina 
    on 
    the cof

    in 
    hand

    do, 
    listen, 

    you

    wait 
    for 
    me 

    No, 
    would
    n't 
    go 
    out 

    alone 
    into 
    Amer
    ica 

    Whatever 
    you 
    do, 
    listen, 

    you 
    better 
    wait 
    for 
    me 

    No, 
    wouldn't 
    go 
    out 

    Interlude 1
    alone 


    Verse 5
    Without 
    warm 
    water 
    in my 
    head 

    All I 
    see 
    is black 
    and white 
    and red 

    I feel 
    mechanical 
    and 
    thin 

    Hear me 
    play 
    my violin 
    again 

    I'm 
    living 
    in 
    the target's 
    shoes

    see 
    is black 
    and white 
    and blue 

    Idle, 
    idle, 
    idle, 
    idle,

    Karen, 
    put 
    me 
    in 
    chair, 

    fuck 
    me 
    and 
    make 
    me 
    drink 

    I've 
    lost 
    direction, 

    and 
    I'm 
    past 
    my 
    peak

    I'm 
    telling 
    you 
    this 
    isn't me 

    No, 
    this 
    isn't 
    me 

    Karen, 
    be
    lieve 
    me, 

    you 
    just 
    haven't 
    seen 
    my 
    good 
    side 
    yet 

    Verse 7

    Well, 
    whatever 
    you 
    do, 
    listen, 

    you 
    better 
    wait 
    for 
    me

    • 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.
