    Verse 1
    G

    Why is it
    C

    that as we grow older and stronger
    G

    The road signs point us adrift
    C

    and make us afraid
    Am

    Saying "You never can win," "Watch your
    Em

    back," "Where's your husband?"
    Am

    Oh, I don't like the signs
    C
    D

    that the sign makers made.
    Verse 2
    G

    So I'm going to steal out with
    C

    my paint and brushes
    G

    I'll change the directions,
    C

    I'll hit every street
    Am

    It's the Tinseltown scandal,

    Am

    She goes out and steals
    G
    C

    the king's English

    "I'm so glad that you finally
    C

    made it here,"
    G

    "You thought nobody cared,

    Verse 4
    C

    G

    Well I know a woman with a
    C

    collection of sticks
    G

    She could fight back the
    C

    hundreds of voices she heard
    Am

    And she could poke at the greed,
    Em

    she could fend off her need
    Am

    And with an ger she found
    C
    D

    she could pound every word.
    G

    But one voice got through,
    C

    caught her up by surprise
    G

    It said, "Don't hold us back,
    C

    we're the story you tell,"
    Am

    And no sooner than spoken,
    Em

    a spell had been broken
    Am
    G

    And the voices before her were
    C
    D

    trumpets and tympani

    Violins, basses and woodwinds and cellos,
    Verse 5

    singing
    G

    "We're so glad that you
    C

    finally made it here
    G

    You thought nobody cared,

    Now when I was fifteen,
    C

    oh, I knew it was over

    The road to enchantment was
    C

    not mine to take
    Am

    'Cause lower calf,
    Em

    upper arm should be half what they are
    Am

    I was breaking the laws that
    D

    the sign makers made.

    And all I could eat was the
    C

    poisonous apple
    G
    C

    And that's not a story I was meant to survive

    "I'm so glad that
    C

    you finally made it here
    G

    With the things you know now,
    C

    that only time could tell

    • 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.
