Cool Band. Found them on the radio station 'AltNation'
Standard Tuning
Capo 1
Intro/Chorus:
GIf I die a lonely death,
CI'm sure its from the Cmcigarettes
I Gsmoked each day after you left me,
Cstanding all alone.
GAlone in my Park Avenue
Capartment that smelled Cmfresh and new
GThe extra set of keys from you are Cgoing to the maid.
The maid has been my only friend,
She's always there to apprehend.
The dust and grim that settles in around the crystal vase.
The crystal vase, a wedding gift,
that through the years has made the shift.
What once held flowers now holds ash,
from my two packs a day.
Verse 1:
Ooo baby she Amwalks with a thorn on her side
Them big Dmsunglasses on her eyes
All thAme uptown girls say, "Hi, old woDmman"
"I can't take another day of this", she says.
"All I wanted was a drink and a kiss,
But I guess I'll just have to call on my bank 'cause its Swiss."
Pre-Chorus
She Gnever knew no better than to follow her nose
So I Cask for your forgiveness 'cause I'm part of the show.
Now she's gone Gand all she's left with is a house full of clothes
SometCimes Madam it's OK to cry.Cm  
Chorus (first half):
If I die a lonely death,
I'm sure its from the cigarettes
I smoked each day after you left me,
standing all alone.
Alone in my Park Avenue
apartment that smelled fresh and new
The extra set of keys from you are going to the maid.
(interlude)
Verse 2 (like verse 1)
Well she's probably just a chip off the block,
You know like coffee from a coffee pot
Well at least she can get away for a while
And get some sun on that yacht.
Pre-Chorus
She Gnever knew no better than to follow her nose
So I Cask for your forgiveness 'cause I'm part of the show.
Now she's Ggone and all she's left with is a house full of clothes
SometCimes Madam it's OK to cry.Cm  
Chorus
If I die a lonely death,
I'm sure its from the cigarettes
I smoked each day after you left me,
standing all alone.
Alone in my Park Avenue
apartment that smelled fresh and new
The extra set of keys from you are going to the maid.
The maid has been my only friend,
She's always there to apprehend.
The dust and grim that settles in around the crystal vase.
The crystal vase, a wedding gift,
that through the years has made the shift.
What once held flowers now holds ash,
from my two packs a day.

The extra set of keys from you are going to the maid.

The maid has been my only friend,

Ooo baby she walks with a thorn on her side

Them big sunglasses on her eyes

But I guess I'll just have to call on my bank 'cause its Swiss."
