    i'm 
    chained 
    to 
    the 
    wall 
    Verse 1

    i'm 
    nothing 
    at 
    all 

    and my eyes 
    look into the 
    sunset 

    thinking 
    of 
    better 
    things 
    to do 

    like 
    a 
    monkey 
    in a zoo 

    Verse 2
    the 
    days 
    go so 
    slow 

    i 
    don't have 
    no 
    friends 

    except 
    all these 
    people 
    who 

    want me to 
    do tricks 
    for 
    them 

    like 
    a mon
    key 
    in a zoo 

    Verse 3
    and 
    it could happen 
    to 
    you 

    you could 
    be 
    in my 
    place 

    no it 
    wasn't 
    always 
    like this 

    oh but 
    i never saw 
    it 
    coming 

    i'm 
    so 
    alone 
    Verse 4

    but this 
    is 
    my home 

    and 
    the bars 
    that 
    surround 
    me 

    keep me 
    from 
    knowing 
    any 
    better 

    like 
    a 
    monkey 
    in a zoo 

    Verse 5
    throw 
    me 
    a peanut 

    laugh 
    and make 
    jokes 

    but 
    i've had 
    enough pea
    nuts 

    and i'm 
    ready 
    to 
    croak 

    like 
    a 
    monkey 
    in 
    a zoo 

    Verse 6
    you 
    come 
    to look 
    at 
    me 

    you 
    seem 
    so amused 

    but 
    things 
    would look 
    different 

    if you 
    were 
    in my 
    shoes 

    Verse 7
    i 
    know 
    it's 
    my 
    fault 

    but 
    i 
    want 
    out 

    and 
    when i cry 
    out nobody 

    seems to 
    understand 

    like 
    a mon
    key 
    in 
    a 
    zoo 

    Verse 8
    you 
    say 
    i'm 
    cute 

    you 
    don't know 
    how much 

    that hurts 

    you 
    don't know 
    how 
    it feels 

    to live 
    in your 
    own dirt 

    like 
    a mon
    key 
    in a zoo 

    an
    d 
    Verse 9
    it could 
    happen 
    to 
    you 

    you could 
    be 
    in my 
    place 

    don't 
    let 
    yourself 
    slip 

    don't 
    keep 
    egg 
    on your 
    face 

    i 
    used 
    to be 
    happy 
    Verse 10

    i 
    can't remember 
    those 
    days 

    but 
    i sold 
    my freedom 
    for 

    free 
    room 
    and 
    board 

    like 
    a 
    monkey 
    in a 
    zoo

      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.
