  • Verse 1

    We 

    bet 
    on our 
    lives 

    and 
    we bet 
    on 
    the horses 

    In that 
    upstairs 
    apartment 

    On 
    Or
    lando 
    and 
    4th 

    And the 
    rent was 
    due 
    and 
    the 

    rent 
    man was 
    knocking 

    Like 
    Chinese 
    proverb 

    We were 
    always 
    searching 

    Verse 2

    Nightlife´s a no-win 
    but 

    nobody 
    noticed 

    How we 
    killed 
    off 
    the bottles 

    Looking 
    good 
    on the 
    surface 

    The 
    dog days 
    barked 
    and 
    the 

    house 
    cat got 
    old 

    We were 
    Bonnie 
    and Clyde 

    In the 
    emperor´s new 
    clothes 

    And the 
    tears 
    never 
    came 
    Verse 3

    They just 
    stayed 
    in our 
    eyes 

    We re
    fused 
    to 
    admit 
    that we 

    wore 
    this disguise 

    Every 
    inch 
    of 
    us growing 

    Like 
    Pinocchio´s nose 

    As 
    we 
    walked 
    around 
    in 
    the 

    emperor´s new 
    clothes 

    Interlude 1



    We 
    flew 
    by our 
    wits 
    and by the 
    Verse 4

    seat 
    of our pants 

    In the 
    state 
    of 
    illusion 

    In 
    the 
    nation 
    of chance 

    And the 
    repo was 
    hauling 
    the 

    wreck 
    we´d been 
    driving 

    As the 
    dashboard 
    Madonna 

    Smiled 
    back 
    at us kindly 

    Verse 5
    We 
    cheated 
    the system 
    never 

    batting 
    an eyelid 

    Seeing 
    only 
    the good 

    Through the 
    holes 
    in our shoes 

    And 
    our 
    halos 
    were rusty 
    but 

    we wore 
    them proudly 

    We were 
    two 
    little 
    gods 














    In 

    the 
    emperor´s new 

    Outro 1

    • 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.
