Tuning: E Standard



              C#m          A
This is not a test, it’s a wake up call

  B                           C#m
A bucket of cold water in the face

        A            B
Time to stand up and deliver


              C#m           A
This is not a test, this is serious

      B                              C#m
We’re standing on the edge of a precipice

      A             B                             G#
And excuses are all useless, ‘cause this is not a test


[This next section is bass only, but feel free to use these chords if playing alone]


                       B                         G#
And I know it won’t be easy, and I know it isn’t fair

                              B                              C#m
But I’ll play the hand that’s dealt me ‘cause the buck stops here


This is not a test, don’t lay there drenched in cold reality
Time to stand and to deliver
This is not a test, this is not a test.
There’s no place left to kick the can to
And it’s obvious that it’s up to us
This is not a test.

End on C#m
