The Test Acoustic by The Academy Is This is my first tab, I tabbed it from the video of Michael Guy Chislett and William doing an acoustic version. This video can be found on fbrplus.com. I do not own this in any way, and these chords are simply my enterpretation of the song. Also, I know I some of the chord names wrong, sorry about that. Hope it helps.

G Cadd9 In front of your house, alone on the street, Em7 D/F# Cadd9 you ask me to come in-side. No Palm Mute Cadd9 (one strum) (See First Filler) Asleep through all our classes, Cadd9 (one strum) you hang me out to dry. Chorus Chords: (no palm-mute) G Cadd9 If this is a test, I’m losing my shit Em7 D/F# Cadd9 Would it kill you to care as much as I did, G Cadd9 If this is a test, I’m wasting my breath Em7 D/F# Cadd9 You’re a stranger I know well, and not at all. (While playing intro you can sing the do do do do do part that william sings) Verse 1 Chords Heart on a hook, thrown out to the sea, your basement busy. Sitting in the dark, I turn the radio off for a phone call you’ll likely miss. Wake me when it’s over. The last sound of goodbye. Chorus: If this is a test, I’m losing my shit Would it kill you to care as much as I did? If this is a test, I’m wasting my breath You’re a stranger I know well, and not at all. Intro again First filler twice (in between each filler, chislett taps his guitar three times on the then plays again.) Bridge: Palm mute similar to verse.

(you said, you said) Chorus: If this is a test, I’m losing my shit Would it kill you to care, as much as I did If this is a test, I’m wasting my breath You’re a stranger I know well, and not at all. If this is a test, I'm losing my shit Would it kill you to care, as much as i did If this is a test, I'm wasting my breath You'res a stranger I know well, and not at all.
