Joel Plaskett – The Park Avenue Sobriety Test (Guitar)

             |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.

         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.

          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.

           |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
