    Verse 1
    I'm 
    running 

    up 
    a spiral 
    staircase, 

    Drilling 
    a hole 
    in the ground. 

    And the 
    staircase 
    is winning, 

    And 
    my head 
    is 
    spinning, 

    And 
    I 
    don't 
    even dare 
    to look 
    round. 

    I'm 
    running 
    up 
    a spiral 
    staircase 

    I 
    can't 
    reach 
    the top. 

    I'm 
    running 
    up 
    a spiral 
    staircase 

    And 
    I'm 
    too scared 
    to stop. 

    And there's 
    nothing 

    anybody 
    can do 

    To stop the 
    staircase, 

    like 
    a giant 
    corkscrew, 

    From 
    spin
    ning 
    around 
    and 
    around 

    and 
    around and around. 

    Now 
    in the 
    beginning 
    I 
    only 
    saw you 

    When the 
    staircase 
    hit your 
    vision 
    line. 

    But now 
    that 
    it's 
    moving 
    around 
    so 
    fast 

    I can 
    see 
    you 
    all 
    of the time. 

    I'm 
    running 
    up 
    a spiral 
    staircase 

    I 
    can't 
    reach 
    the top. 

    I'm running 
    up 
    a spiral 
    staircase 

    And 
    I'm 
    too scared 
    to stop. 

    And 
    there's 
    nothing 
    anybody 
    can do 

    To 
    stop the 
    stair
    case, 

    like 
    a giant 
    corkscrew, 

    From 
    spinning 
    around 
    and 
    around 

    and 
    around and around. 

    Verse 2

    Now 
    in 
    the beginning 
    it was 
    moving 
    so slowly 

    I 
    never 
    noticed 
    it 
    at first. 

    But 
    now that 
    it's 
    moving 
    round 
    so 
    fast 

    I 
    think my 
    head 
    is gonna 
    burst. 

    I'm 
    running 
    up 
    a spiral 
    staircase 

    I 
    can't 
    reach 
    the top. 

    I'm 
    running 
    up 
    a spiral 
    staircase 

    And 
    I'm 
    too scared 
    to stop. 

    And I 
    be
    lieve that 
    I'm 

    gonna 
    shot 
    through 

    To 
    stop 
    the 
    staircase, 

    like 
    a giant 
    corkscrew, 

    From 
    spinning 
    around 
    and 
    around and 
    around 

    and around. 






    Now 
    without 
    a 
    doubt 
    I'm 
    a-wearing out 

    out 

    An
    d I'm 
    really 
    beginning 
    to tire. 

    I 
    know 
    the staircase 
    is 
    steel 

    but it 
    just 
    about 
    feels 

    As 
    though 
    it's 
    gonna 
    catch 
    on 
    fire. 

    I'm 
    running 
    up 
    a 
    spiral 
    staircase 

    I 
    can't 
    reach 
    the 
    top. 

    I'm 
    running 
    up 
    a spiral 
    staircase 

    And 
    I'm 
    too 
    scared 
    to stop. 

    And 
    I 
    be
    lieve 
    that 
    I'm 

    gonna 
    shot 
    through 

    To stop 
    the staircase, 

    like 
    a 
    giant 
    corkscrew, 

    From 
    spinning 
    around 
    and 
    around 
    and 

    around 



    and 
    around.

      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.
