Em

Trapped in skyscraper office space
C
G

Take your break, escape in haste

I'd walk a mile for that great taste
B

Of my brand I least sing
Em

Standing there in pears and trees
C

Chattering teeth and trembling knees
G

We French inhale and then we sneeze
B
E

And suddenly it's spring
A
C

We're the new street people
E

We're the ones you see
A
C

Standing outside smoking
E

Where the air is free
Em
D

So far you've had just two today
C

Maybe you've come a long, way
G

Down 40 flights, what can I say?
B

Just to get that hint
Em

We stand around the helpless ones
C

With the homeless, the winos, the bums
G

We teach us how to suck our thumbs
B

Show us how to quit
Em

Ostracized in restaurants,
C

aeroplanes and public haunts
G

Deprived of our most cherished wants,
B

that is to say the weed
Em

We see the billboards
C

and we long to live there,

that's where we belong
G

Where looking cool is never wrong,
B
E

and it's normal to need
A

We're the new street people
C
E

We're the ones you see
A
C

Standing outside smoking
E

Breathing free
Em

A thousand toxic natural shocks
C

Filter flavor flip top box
G

Thank God when it's five o 'clock
B

That's when we go home
Em

Behind closed doors every night
C

Matches flare and lighters light
G

There we exercise the
B

right to be left alone
Em

Rooms fill up with acrid haze
C

We fill up our favorite ashtrays
G

It's just like the good old bad days
B

We own the air in here
Em

But tomorrow we'll be back outside
C

Out on the street where

we can't hide

Stripped of dignity and pride
B

Sucking cigs in fear

We're the street people,

we're the ones you see

  • 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.
