    Verse 1
    It 
    seems 

    to 
    me 
    as 
    though 
    I've 
    been 
    upon 
    this 
    stage 
    before 

    And 
    juggled 
    away 
    the 
    night 

    for the 
    same 
    old 
    crowd 

    These 
    harlequins 
    you 
    see 
    with 
    me, 

    they 
    too 
    have 
    held 
    the 
    floor 

    As 
    here 
    once 
    again 
    they 
    strut 

    and they 
    fret 
    their 
    hour 

    I 
    see 
    those 
    half- 
    famil
    iar 
    faces 

    in 
    the 
    second 
    row 

    Ghost- 
    like 
    with 
    the footlights 
    in 
    their 
    eyes 

    But 
    where 
    or 
    when 
    we 
    met 
    like 
    this 

    last 
    time 
    I 
    just 
    don't 
    know 

    It's 
    like 
    a 
    chord 
    that 
    rings 

    and 
    never 
    dies 

    For 
    infinity 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    And 
    now 
    these 
    figures 
    in the 
    wings 

    with 
    all 
    their 
    restless 
    tun
    es 

    Are 
    waiting 
    for 
    someone 

    to 
    call 
    their 
    names 

    They 
    walk 
    the 
    backstage 
    corridors 

    and prowl 
    the 
    dressing- 
    rooms 

    And 
    vanish 
    to specks 
    of light 
    in 

    the pic
    ture- 
    frames 

    But 
    did 
    they 
    move 
    upon 
    the 

    stage 
    a thousand 
    years 
    ago 

    In 
    some 
    play 
    in 
    Paris 
    or Mad
    rid 

    And 
    was 
    I 
    there 
    amon
    g 
    them 
    then, 

    in 
    some 
    travelling 
    show 

    And 
    is 
    it 
    all 
    still 
    locked 
    inside 
    my 
    head 

    For 
    in
    finity 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 3
    And 
    some 
    of 
    you 
    are 
    harmonies 

    to 
    all 
    the notes 
    I 
    play 

    Although 
    we 
    may 
    not 
    meet 
    still 

    you 
    know 
    me 
    well 

    While 
    others 
    talk 
    in 
    secret 
    keys 

    and transpose 
    all 
    I 
    say 

    And 
    nothing 
    I do 
    or 
    try 
    can 

    get 
    through 
    the spell 

    So 
    one 
    more 
    time 
    we'll 
    dim 
    the 

    lights 
    and 
    ring 
    the 
    curtain 
    up

    And 
    play 
    again 
    like 
    all 
    the times 
    be
    fore 

    But 
    far 
    behind 
    the 
    mu
    sic 

    you can 
    almost 
    hear 
    the sounds 

    Of 
    laughter 
    like 
    the waves 

    upon 
    the 
    shores 

    Of 
    in
    finity

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
