From "The Park Avenue Sobriety Test" (2015)
CHORUS:
|C G F C|
This is the...Park Avenue sobriety test,
|F C G Gsus4|
it's a kick in the teeth, it's the hornets nest
|C G F C|
It's the Park Avenue sobriety test,
|F G C| |Csus4 C|
It's the cold hard light of day.
|C G F C|
It's the pain in your heart, it's the look in your eyes,
|F C| G Gsus4|
when all of your friends are dropping like flies,
|C G F C|
it's the hole in the sky when a young man dies...
|Dm G C|
you just want to go to sleep.
C G F C
and when you finally sleep, you imagine a world
F C G Gsus4
that's a beautiful world filled with beautiful girls
C G F C
and the girls in your world, the one you imagined,
Dm G C
they all want to know your name
C G F C
so you tell them your name, and they give you their number
F C G Gsus4
as you're calling them up you awake from your slumber
C G F C
'cause your landlord's outside, he's driving a Hummer,
Dm G C
and you're starting to catch a cold.
CHORUS
C G F C
it's the kid on the street, he's having a ball
F C G Gsus4
and you're watching his feet,cos he's kicking a ball
C G F C
cause he don't need a phone and he don't need the mall
Dm G C
and a tear rolls down your cheek
C G F C
it's the guy at the bank, he's cashing the cheque
F C G Gsus4
that't the government sent 'cause he's out on the deck
C G F C
some words will not autocorrect,
Dm G C
like #"who the fuck will pay our rent!?"
C G F C
Some people are wealthy, others are rich
F C G Gsus4
some people complain others just bitch,
C G F C
it might take a second to see which is which
Dm G C
but the devil is in the details.
CHORUS
C G F C
It's the girl at the bar,she's pouring a drink
F C G Gsus4
she's taking your dough and you think that she winks
C G F C
so you ask her her name, and she tells you a lie
Dm G C
'cause Frank's not a woman's name.
|D A G D|
Last call has been called, and now "Frank"'s closing down
|G D A Asus4|
you're out on the street and there's no-one around
|D A G D|
and it's raining outside and in whiskey you've drowned
|Em A D| |D Dsus4|
and now you're walking across a bridge.
D A G D
and you're sobering up and you get to the park
G D A Asus4
and it's sketchy as hell and it's totally dark
D A G D
when you're one of a kind you can't get on the ark
Em A D
so zip up your jacket and go home.
CHORUS (modulate to E):
|E B A E|
This is the Park Avenue sobriety test
|A E B Bsus4|
it's a kick in the teeth it's the hornet's nest
|E B A E|
it's the Park Avenue sobriety test,
|A B E |
it's the cold hard light of day
|A B E |
this is the cold hard light of day
|A B E *** (three beats and end cold)
This is the cold...hard...light.....of day!
