    • Verse 1
    I can 

    see 
    it 
    in 
    the way 

    That 
    you 
    are 
    the painted 

    Flowers 
    in 
    the big 
    parade 

    Flowers 
    in 
    the big 
    parade 

    Deep 
    inside 
    your 
    heart 

    Staring 
    at 
    the sky 

    Calling 
    out 
    the shapes 

    Clouds 
    make 
    as they 
    pass 
    by 

    Verse 2
    And 
    first 
    they 
    thank 
    you 
    by 

    pulling 
    out 
    your tongue 

    And 
    you apologize 
    for being 

    where 
    you're from 

    But 
    I 
    could 
    hear 
    the 
    animals 

    painted 
    on the 
    cave 

    Verse 3
    And I was 
    taking 
    a page 

    From 
    my 
    own 
    mistakes 

    It 
    was 
    an empty 
    book 

    Until 
    I 
    took 
    a look 

    I 
    was 
    taking 
    a page 
    (taking a 
    page) 

    From all 
    the time 
    I spent 

    With 
    a 
    vanity 
    that knows 
    no 
    end 

    Verse 4
    The 
    many 
    unknown 
    thrills 

    Hard 
    to trans
    late 

    Time 
    your all 
    the time 

    Elegant 
    heart 
    rate 

    She 
    would 
    look 
    at 
    her 
    non-linear 

    As 
    As 
    she 
    reaches 
    in 

    her pocket 
    to find

    All 
    of 
    human
    kind 

    I'm 
    in 
    my 
    Free 
    Tibet 
    Verse 5
    shirt 

    that's 
    made 
    in China 

    With 
    evolution's last 
    jump

    ing 
    off 
    point 
    be
    hind 
    ya 

    But 
    I've 
    got 
    an in
    finity 

    of 
    things 
    left 
    to refuse 

    Verse 6
    And I 
    was 
    taking 
    a page 
    from 

    Carole 
    King 

    You're so 
    far 
    away 

    Doesn't 
    anybody 
    stay? 

    I 
    was 
    taking 
    a page 
    from 

    remembering 

    There's 
    so 
    many 
    things 

    Right 
    there under 
    my skin 



    Verse 7
    Wandering 
    through 
    a 
    world 

    Neither 
    of 
    us under
    stand
    s 

    And when you 
    think 
    you 

    just 
    can't 
    stand 
    it 

    Zoom 
    out and 
    see 
    the 
    planet 

    Verse 8
    'Cause 
    love's 
    a little 
    like 

    Crowd 
    surfing 
    in 
    an empty 
    club 

    Oh, 
    that's 
    a little 
    bit 
    like 

    Something 
    a lot 
    like 
    love 

    But 
    things 
    could 
    Verse 9
    really 
    be much 
    worse 

    At 
    least 
    there's 
    smiley 
    face, 
    oh 

    But 
    I can't 
    take 
    no 
    more 

    Guitar 
    solo 
    or 
    car 
    chase 

    Words 
    tend 
    to mean 
    the most 
    in 
    Verse 10

    songs 
    that are 
    just 
    music 

    Do you 
    ever think 
    that 
    colors 
    say 

    "Hey, 
    who's 
    your favorite 
    human?" 

    But 
    I 
    was 
    stranded 
    in the 
    place 

    of 
    my favorite 
    details 

    Verse 11
    And I was 
    taking 
    a page 

    From my 
    imaginary 
    life 

    Where 
    I'm 
    a 
    good 
    housewife 

    Yeah, 
    that sounds 
    nice 

    I 
    was 
    taking 
    a page 
    (taking a 

    page) 

    From never 
    feeling 
    like 

    I 
    was 
    a 
    girl 
    or 
    a guy 

    But 
    I had

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.
