    Verse 1
    Why 
    is 
    it 

    that 
    as 
    we 
    grow 
    older 
    and 
    stronger 

    The 
    road 
    signs 
    point 
    us 
    adrift 

    and 
    make 
    us afraid 

    Saying 
    "You nev
    er 
    can 
    win," 
    "Watch 
    your 

    back," 
    "Where's 
    your 
    husband?" 

    Oh, I 
    don't 
    like the 
    signs 

    that the 
    sign 
    makers 
    made. 

    Verse 2
    So 
    I'm going 
    to steal 
    out 
    with 

    my 
    paint 
    and 
    brushes 

    I'll 
    change 
    the directions, 

    I'll 
    hit 
    every 
    street 

    It's 
    the 
    Tinseltown scandal, 

    the 
    Robin 
    Hood 
    vandal 

    She 
    goes 
    out 
    and steals 

    the king's 
    English 

    And in 
    the 
    morn
    ing 
    you 
    wake 
    up 

    and 
    the signs 
    point 
    to 
    you 

    Verse 3
    They 
    say 

    "I'm 
    so 
    glad 
    that you 
    finally 

    made 
    it 
    here," 

    "You thought 
    nobody 
    cared, 

    but 
    did, 
    could 
    tell," 

    And 
    "This 
    is 
    your 
    year," 
    and 

    "It 
    al
    ways 
    starts 
    here," 

    And 
    oh 
    "You're 

    aging 
    well." 

    Verse 4

    Well 
    know 
    a woman 
    with a 

    col
    lection 
    of sticks 

    She could 
    fight 
    back 
    the 

    hundreds 
    of 
    voices 
    she 
    heard 

    And 
    she 
    could 
    poke 
    at 
    the greed, 

    she could 
    fend 
    off 
    her 
    need 

    And with 
    an
    ger 
    she 
    found 

    she could 
    pound 
    every 
    word. 

    But 
    one 
    voice 
    got 
    through, 

    caught 
    her 
    up 
    by 
    surprise 

    It said, 
    "Don't 
    hold 
    us 
    back, 

    we're 
    the story 
    you 
    tell," 

    And 
    no sooner 
    than spoken, 

    a spell 
    had 
    been broken 

    And the 
    voices 
    before 
    her were 

    trumpets 
    and 
    tym
    pani 

    Violins, 
    basses 
    and 
    woodwinds and 
    cellos, 

    Verse 5
    singing 

    "We're 
    so 
    glad 
    that you 

    finally 
    made 
    it here 

    You thought 
    nobody 
    cared, 

    but 
    we 
    did, 
    we 
    could 
    tell 

    And now 
    you'll dance 
    through 
    the days 

    while the 
    or
    chestra 
    plays 

    And 
    oh, 
    you're 
    aging 
    well." 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 6
    Now 
    when I 
    was 
    fifteen, 

    oh, 
    knew 
    it was 
    over 

    The 
    road 
    to 
    enchantment 
    was 

    not 
    mine 
    to take 

    'Cause 
    lower 
    calf, 

    upper 
    arm 
    should 
    be 
    half 
    what 
    they 
    are 

    was breaking 
    the 
    laws 
    that 

    the 
    sign 
    makers 
    made. 

    Verse 7
    And 
    all 
    could 
    eat 
    was 
    the 

    pois
    onous 
    apple 

    And 
    that's 
    not 
    a story 
    was 
    meant 
    to 
    survive 

    was all 
    out 
    of 
    choices, 

    but 
    the wo
    man 
    of 
    voices 

    Verse 8
    She 
    turned 
    round 
    the 
    corner 

    with 
    music 
    around 
    her, 

    She 
    gave 
    me the 
    language 
    that 

    Verse 9
    keeps 
    me 
    alive, 
    she 
    said: 

    "I'm 
    so 
    glad 
    that 

    you finally 
    made it 
    here 

    With 
    the 
    thing
    you know 
    now, 

    that 
    only 
    time 
    could tell 

    Looking 
    back
    see
    ing 
    far, 

    landing 
    right 
    where 
    we 
    are 

    And 
    oh, 
    you're 
    aging, 

    oh 
    and 
    am 
    aging, 

    Oh, 
    aren't 
    we 
    aging 
    well?"

    • 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.
