    Verse 1
    have 

    tried 
    marijuana 

    I get 
    nervous 
    every 
    time 

    There 
    will 
    come 
    knockin' 
    at 
    the 
    door 

    Why 
    is 
    everybody 
    makin' 
    eyes 
    at 
    me? 

    don't 
    want 
    to 
    know 

    Excuse 
    and 
    pardon 
    me 

    Stay 
    for 
    while 

    Verse 2
    Maybe 
    we'll 
    never 
    meet 
    again 


    can 
    see 
    my 
    lifetime 
    piling 
    up 

    can 
    see 
    the days 
    turn 
    into 
    nights 

    can 
    see 
    the 
    people 
    on 
    the street 

    Open 
    those 
    windows 
    up 

    A hun
    dred 
    floors 
    be
    low 
    me 

    Pilin' 
    those 
    houses 
    up 

    Pilin' 
    them 
    higher, 
    higher
    higher 

    can 
    feel 
    them 
    swayin' 

    back 
    and 
    forth 

    Building 
    it 
    higher, 
    higher 

    This 
    tower's 
    learning 
    over 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 3
    got 
    bad 
    coordination 

    Stuck 
    pencil 
    in 
    my 
    eye 

    can 
    hardly 
    wait 
    to get 
    back 
    home 

    Why 
    is everybody 
    gettin' 
    paranoid? 

    I's 
    only 
    havin' 
    fun 

    Scum-bags 
    and 
    and 
    super
    stars 

    Tell 
    me 
    your 
    names 

    I'll 
    make 
    bet, 
    you're 

    Both 
    the 
    same 

    Verse 4
    can see 
    my 
    lifetime 
    pilin' 
    up

    Reaching 
    from 
    my 
    bedroom 
    to 
    the stars 

    can 
    see 
    the 
    house 

    where 
    was 
    born 

    When 
    was 
    growin' 
    up 
    - they say 
    that 

    could 
    never 
    keep 
    my 
    trouser
    s up

    re
    member 
    days 
    and 
    crazy 
    nights 

    Are 
    there 
    any 
    pirates 
    on 
    this ship? 

    And 
    if 
    they 
    sober 
    up 

    - they'll 
    have 
    us 

    Home 
    by 
    morning 

    Interlude 2


    Cry, 
    cry, 
    cry 
    Verse 5

    It's 
    just 
    you 
    and 

    Like 
    an 
    automobile 

    With 
    no 
    one 
    at 
    the 
    wheel 

    Spinning 
    out 
    of 
    con
    trol 

    We're 
    all 
    over 
    the 
    road 

    In 
    our 
    sexy 
    machine 

    All 
    the 
    passengers 
    scream 

    Scream, 
    scream! 

    Verse 6
    can 
    see 
    my 
    lifetime 
    pilin' 
    up 

    can see 
    it smashin' 
    into 
    yours 

    It 
    was 
    not 
    an 
    accident 
    at 
    all 

    Open 
    your 
    window 
    up 

    - I 
    hear 
    you laughin' 

    Verse 7
    Goin' 
    one, 
    two, 
    three, 
    four, 
    five 

    Goin' 
    from 
    the bottom 
    to 
    the 
    top 

    Maybe 
    I'm 
    holding 
    on 
    too 
    tight 

    And 
    now 
    I'm 
    growin' 
    up 

    got 
    a funny 
    feeling 

    Pilin' 
    those 
    houses 
    up

    Pilin' 
    them 
    higher, 
    higher
    higher 

    Building 
    that 
    highway 
    to 
    the stars 

    And 
    turning 
    the 
    mu
    sic 
    up 
    - Hey! 

    got 
    win
    ning

    • 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.
