    Verse 1
    When 
    superstars 
    and 
    cannonballs 

    are 
    running 
    through 
    your 
    head 

    A 
    television 
    freak 
    show, 

    cops 
    and 
    robbers 
    every
    where 

    Subway 
    makes 
    me 
    nervous, 

    people 
    pushing 
    me 
    too 
    far 

    I've 
    got 
    to 
    break 
    a
    way 

    So 
    take 
    my 
    hand 
    now 


    Cause

    want 
    to 
    Chorus 1

    want 
    to 
    live 

    I 
    want 
    to 
    run 
    through 
    the 
    jungle 

    The 
    wind 
    in 
    my 
    hair 

    and 
    the 
    sand 
    at 
    my 
    feet

    been 
    having

    and 
    e
    motions 

    better 
    left 
    up

    Animals 
    and 
    children 

    tell 
    the 
    truth, 
    they 
    never 
    lie

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
