    Verse 1
    see 
    the 
    shapes, 

    remember 
    from 
    maps 

    see 
    the 
    shore
    line 

    see 
    the 
    whitecaps 


    baseball 
    diamond, 

    nice 
    weather 
    down 
    there 

    see 
    the 
    school 

    and 
    the 
    houses 
    where 
    the 
    kids 
    are 

    Places 
    to 
    park 

    by 
    the 
    factories 
    and 
    buildings 

    Restaurants 
    and

    Pre-chorus 1
    Then 
    we 
    come 
    to 
    the 
    farmlands, 

    and 
    the 
    undeveloped 
    areas 

    And 
    have 
    learned 

    how 
    these 
    things 
    work 
    together 

    see 
    the 
    parkway 

    that 
    passes 
    through 
    them 
    all 

    And 
    have 
    learned 

    how 
    to 
    look 
    at 
    these 
    things 

    and 
    say 

    Chorus 1
    wouldn't 
    live 
    there 
    if 
    you 
    paid 
    me 

    wouldn't 
    live 
    like 
    that, 
    no 
    siree! 

    wouldn't 
    do 
    the 
    things 

    the 
    way 
    those 
    people 
    do 

    wouldn't 
    live 
    there 
    if 
    you 
    paid 
    me 
    to 

    Verse 2
    guess 
    it's 
    healthy, 

    guess 
    the 
    air 
    is 
    clean 

    guess 
    those 
    peop
    le 

    have 
    fun 
    with 
    their 
    neighbors 
    and 
    friends 

    Look 
    at 
    that 
    kitchen 

    and 
    all 
    of 
    that 
    food 

    Look 
    at 
    them 
    eat 
    it 

    guess 
    it 
    tastes 
    real 
    good 

    Pre-chorus 2
    They 
    grow 
    it 
    in 
    those 
    farmlands, 

    And 
    they 
    bring 
    it 
    to 
    the 
    stores 

    They 
    put 
    it 
    in 
    the 
    car 
    trunk 

    And 
    they 
    bring 
    it 
    back 
    home 

    And 
    say 

    Chorus 2
    wouldn't 
    live 
    there 
    if 
    you 
    paid 
    me 

    wouldn't 
    live 
    like 
    that, 
    no 
    siree! 

    wouldn't 
    do 
    the 
    things 

    the 
    way 
    those 
    people 
    do 

    wouldn't 
    live 
    there 
    if 
    you 
    paid 
    me 
    to 

    Verse 3
    I'm 
    tired 
    of 
    loo
    king 

    out 
    the 
    window 
    of 
    the 
    airplane 

    I'm 
    tired 
    of 
    traveling, 

    want 
    to 
    be 
    some
    where 

    It's 
    not 
    even 
    worth 
    tal
    king 

    About 
    those 
    people 
    down 
    there

    • 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.
