  • Verse 1
    The sun 
    struggles 
    up 

    another 
    beautiful 
    day 

    And 
    felt 
    glad 
    in 
    my 
    own 

    sus
    picious 
    way 

    Yeah, 
    yeah, 
    yeah, 
    yeah 

    Des
    pite 
    the 
    contra

    diction 
    and 
    con
    fusion 

    Felt 
    tragic 
    without 
    reason 

    There's 
    malice 
    and 
    there's 

    magic 
    in 
    every 
    season 

    Verse 2
    From the 
    foaming 
    breakers 

    of 
    the 
    poisonous 
    surf 

    The 
    other 
    side 
    of 
    summer

    Verse 3
    The 
    automatic 
    gates 
    close 
    up 
    between 

    the shanties 
    and 
    the 
    palace 

    The blowtorch 
    amusements, 

    the voo
    doo 
    chalice 

    The pale 
    pathetic 
    promises 

    that 
    everybody 
    swallows 

    A teenage 
    girl 
    is 
    crying 
    'cause 
    she 

    don't 
    look 
    like 
    a million 
    dollars 

    So 
    help 
    her 
    if 
    you 
    can 

    'Cause 
    she 
    don't 
    seem 
    to 

    have 
    the 
    attention 
    span

    posses
    sions"? 

    A poor 
    little 
    schoolboy 
    who said 
    "We 

    don't 
    need 
    no 
    lessons"? 

    The 
    rabid 
    rebel 
    dogs 
    ran
    sack 

    the shampoo 
    shop 

    The pop 
    princess 
    is 

    downtown 
    shoot
    ing up 

    And 
    if 
    that 
    goddess 
    if

    my 
    eyes, 
    look at 
    my 
    eyes"

    yeah, 
    yeah 

    Now 
    you 
    can't 
    af

    fake 
    all 
    the 

    drugs 
    your

    used 
    to 
    take 

    Because 
    of 
    their 
    mis
    takes 

    Verse 7
    you'd 
    better

    The dancing 
    Verse 9

    They 
    bury

    dig 
    up 
    the 
    worthless 

    Good

    • 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.
