    Verse 1
    When 
    I 
    was 
    a 
    kid 

    I 
    finished 
    what 
    I 
    did 

    And 
    I 
    went 
    upstairs 
    in my 

    dressing 
    gown 

    Verse 2
    So 
    I 
    was 
    a 
    kid 
    everyone 
    is 
    that 

    I 
    went 
    up and 
    I 
    made damn sure 

    I 
    never 
    came 
    down 

    Verse 3

    Ain't 
    it strange 
    how 
    people 

    get 
    older 

    They wear 
    you on 
    their 
    head 

    And 
    they 
    print 
    you 
    on their 
    shoulder 

    And never 
    believe 

    I'll be 
    more 
    than 
    free 

    Interlude 1
    At 
    least 
    evolve 
    for 
    me 


    Verse 4
    When 
    I 
    was 
    a 
    kid 

    I 
    wore a 
    broad 
    brim 

    And 
    sat 
    on 
    him 

    His 
    toothpaste 
    major is 
    no 
    one 
    oak 
    level 

    People 
    who traced 
    your 
    new ply 

    devil 
    and 
    aging 
    bee 

    Verse 5
    I 
    swear 
    I 
    could 
    murder 
    that 
    guy 

    Though 
    I 
    always smile 
    at 

    him 
    when 
    he 
    comes 
    by 

    He 
    turned 
    me 
    into 
    a 
    businessman 

    He 
    turned 
    me 
    into 
    a 
    businessman 

    He turned 
    me into 
    a 

    businessman 

    He 
    turned 
    me 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 6
    When 
    I 
    was 
    a 
    kid 

    I 
    drew 
    blank 
    mushrooms 

    Sat 
    in 
    ballrooms 

    Took 
    it 
    on 

    Verse 7
    Then 
    I 
    knew 
    I 
    did 

    Have 
    the 
    lot 
    when 
    I'd 

    got 
    what 
    I was 
    given 

    I 
    just 
    took 
    it 
    an
    d 

    I just 
    couldn't 
    form 

    Verse 8
    Some 
    people 
    get 
    bigger 

    Some 
    just get 
    dead 

    When 
    their 
    figures 
    are 
    bled 

    'Cause 
    their 
    heads 
    are 

    Stoven right 
    in 
    by 
    the 
    waste 

    of 
    the 
    time 

    They've 
    been 
    living 
    in 

    their 
    hats 
    so 
    blindly

      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.
