    Verse 1
    Turn 
    on 
    my 
    VCR 

    Same 
    one 
    I've 
    had 
    for 
    years 

    James 
    Brown 
    on 
    the 
    T.A.M.I 
    Show 

    Same 
    tape 
    I've 
    had 
    for 
    years 


    sit 
    in 
    my 
    old 
    car 

    Same 
    one 
    I've 
    had 
    for 
    years 

    Old 
    battery's 
    running 
    down 

    It 
    ran 
    for 
    years 
    and 
    years 


    Turn 
    on 
    the 
    radio 

    The 
    static 
    hurts 
    my 
    ears 

    Tell 
    me 
    where 
    would 
    go 

    ain't 
    been 
    out 
    in 
    years 


    Turn 
    on 
    the 
    stereo 

    It's 
    played 
    for 
    years 
    and 
    years 

    An 
    Otis 
    Redding 
    song 

    It's 
    all 
    own 

    Chorus 1
    When 
    the 
    world 
    is 
    running 
    down 

    You 
    make 
    the 
    best 
    of 
    what's 
    still 
    around 


    When 
    the 
    world 
    is 
    running 
    down 

    You 
    make 
    the 
    best 
    of 
    what's 
    still 
    around 

    Verse 2

    Plug 
    in 
    my 
    MCI 

    To 
    exercise 
    my 
    brain 

    Make 
    records 
    on 
    my 
    own 

    Can't 
    go 
    out 
    in 
    the 
    rain 


    Pick 
    up 
    the 
    telephone 

    I've 
    listened 
    here 
    for 
    years 

    No 
    one 
    to 
    talk 
    to 
    me 

    I've 
    listened 
    here 
    for 
    years 

    Chorus 2
    When 
    the 
    world 
    is 
    running 
    down 

    You 
    make 
    the 
    best 
    of 
    what's 
    still 
    around 


    When 
    the 
    world 
    is 
    running 
    down 

    You 
    make 
    the 
    best 
    of 
    what's 
    still 
    around 

    Interlude 1





    Verse 3
    When 
    feel 
    lonely 
    here 

    Don't 
    waste 
    my 
    time 
    with 
    tears 

    run 
    "Deep 
    Throat" 
    again 

    It 
    ran 
    for 
    years 
    and 
    years 

    Don't 
    like 
    the 
    food 
    eat 

    The 
    cans 
    are 
    running 
    out 

    Same 
    food 
    for 
    years 
    and 
    years 

    hate 
    the 
    food 
    eat 

    Chorus 3
    When 
    the 
    world 
    is 
    running 
    down 

    You 
    make 
    the 
    best 
    of 
    what's 
    still 
    around 


    When 
    the 
    world 
    is 
    running 
    down 

    You 
    make 
    the 
    best 
    of 
    what's 
    still 
    around 


    world 
    is 
    running 
    down 

    You 
    make 
    the 
    best 
    of 
    what's 
    still 
    around 


    When 
    the 
    world 
    is 
    running 
    down 

    You 
    make 
    the 
    best 
    of

    • 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.
