    Verse 1
    You're 
    feeling 
    nervous, 
    aren't 
    you, 
    boy? 

    With 
    your 
    quiet 
    voice 
    and 
    impeccable 
    style 

    Don't 
    ever 
    let 
    them 
    steal 
    your 
    joy 

    And 
    your 
    gentle 
    ways, 

    to 
    keep 
    'em 
    from 
    running 
    wild 

    They 
    can 
    kick 
    dirt 
    in 
    your 
    face 

    Dress 
    you 
    down, 
    and 
    tell 
    you 
    that 
    your 
    place 

    Is 
    in 
    the 
    middle, 

    when 
    they 
    hate 
    the 
    way 
    you 
    shine 

    see 
    you 
    tugging 
    on 
    your 
    shirt 

    Trying 
    to 
    hide 
    in
    side 
    of 
    it 

    and 
    hide 
    how 
    much 
    it 
    hurts 

    Chorus 1
    Let 
    'em 
    laugh 
    while 
    they 
    can 

    Let 
    'em 
    spin, 
    let 
    'em 
    scatter 
    in 
    the 
    wind 

    have 
    been 
    to 
    the 
    mov
    ies, 

    I've 
    seen 
    how 
    it 
    ends 

    And 
    the 
    joke's 
    on 
    them 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    You 
    get 
    discouraged, 
    don't 
    you, 
    girl? 

    It's 
    your 
    brother's 
    world 
    for 
    while 
    longer 

    We 
    gotta 
    dance 
    with 
    the 
    devil 
    on 
    river 

    To 
    beat 
    the 
    stream 

    Call 
    it 
    living 
    the 
    dream, 

    call 
    it 
    kicking 
    the 
    lad
    der 

    They 
    come 
    to 
    kick 
    dirt 
    in 
    your 
    face 

    To 
    call 
    you 
    weak 
    and 
    then 
    displace 
    you 

    After 
    carrying 
    your 
    baby 
    on 
    your 
    back 

    across 
    the 
    de
    sert 

    saw 
    your 
    eyes 
    behind 
    your 
    hair 

    And 
    you're 
    looking 
    tired, 

    but 
    you 
    don't 
    look 
    scared 

    Chorus 2
    Let 
    'em 
    laugh 
    while 
    they 
    can 

    Let 
    'em 
    spin, 
    let 
    'em 
    scatter 
    in 
    the 
    wind 

    have 
    been 
    to 
    the 
    mov
    ies, 

    I've 
    seen 
    how 
    it 
    ends 

    And 
    the 
    joke's 
    on 
    them 

    Interlude 2


    Chorus 3
    Let 
    'em 
    laugh 
    while 
    they 
    can 

    Let 
    'em 
    spin, 
    let 
    'em 
    scatter 
    in 
    the 
    wind 

    have 
    been 
    to 
    the 
    mov
    ies, 

    I've 
    seen 
    how 
    it 
    ends 

    And 
    the 
    joke's 
    on 

    them

    • 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.
