Holiday From Real by Jack's Mannequin
Holiday From Real
During the verses the lead guitar plays this:
She lets me drive her car............

She thinks I'm much too thin
She asks me if I'm sick
What's a girl to do with friends like this
She let's me drive her car
So I can score an eighth
From the lesbians
Out west in Venice
Oh-oh-oh
California in the summer
Ah-ah-ah
And my hair is growing long
Fuck yeah we can live like this
But if you left it up to me
Everyday would be a holiday...
From real
We'd waste our weeks beneath the sun
We'd fry our brains and say its so much fun...
Out here
But when its all over
I'll come back for another year
I look for work today
I'm spilling out the door
Put my glasses on,
So no one sees me
I'd never thought that
I'd be living on your floor
But the rents are high
And L.A. easy
Oh-oh-oh
It's a picture of perfection
Ah-ah-ah
And the postcard gunna read...
Fuck yeah we can live like this
We can live like this
But if you left it up to me
Everyday would be a holiday...
From real
We'd waste our weeks beneath the sun
We'd fry our brains and write its so much fun...
Out here
Hey Madeline
(Hey Madeline)
You sure look fine
(You sure look fine)
You wore my favorite sweater
Being bored was never better
A safety buzz
Some cheap red wine
Oh the trouble we can get in
So let's screw this one up right
But if you left it up to me
Everyday would be a holiday...
From real
We'd waste our weeks beneath the sun
We'd lie, and tell our friends its so much fun...
Out here
But when its all over
I'll come back for another...
But when its all over
I'll come back for another year

version 3
Intro/verse 1: Piano and bass. Piano plays these chords: Am, G, F, Em, F (note, to try
reproduce this on guitar, try Am, G, and F barre chords and make the Em and E5)
On: "She lets me drive her car..."
E|---8-7---7-5---(5)-5/3-(3/5)----------------------|
B|-------8---------------------5-6------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------|
bit before chorus (guitar is only a light buzz in the background):
/Palm muted................
E|--------------------------------------------------|

G|------5--------4-------2-------2------------------|
D|--7-------5--------3-------3----------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------|
E|5-------3--------1-------1------------------------|
CHORUS (its quite hard to tell what’s going on here because there are many instruments
the guitar(s) are quite quiet compared to them, but when I play this[and I don’t just
this by myself] I play:)
E|5--------3-------1----0-1-------------------------|
B|5--------3-------1----0-1-------------------------|
G|5--------4-------2----x-2-------------------------|
D|77777777-5555555-3333-2-333-----------------------|

E|55555555-3333333-1111-0-111-----------------------|

Verse 2:
Piano (for guitar):
Am G F F
E|--------------------------------------------------|
B|----5--------3-------1-------1--------------------|
G|------5--------4-------2-------2------------------|

D|-7-7/5(5)/3/2-------------------------------------|
A|-x-x-x-x--x-x-------------------------------------|
E|-5-5/3(5)/1/0-------------------------------------|
BRIDGE (I can’t tell what the hell is going on here, but C, which is the relative major
Am is definitely involved…a key switch maybe?)
CHORUS (again)
She thinks I'm much too thin
She asks me if I'm sick
What's a girl to do
With friends like this
She lets me drive her car
So I can score an eighth
From the lesbians
Out west in Venice
Oh, California in the Summer
Ah, and my hair is growin' long
Fuck yeah, we can live like this
But if you left it up to me
Everyday would be
A holiday from real
We'd waste our weeks
Beneath the sun
We'd fry our brains
And say it's so much fun out here
When it's all over
I'll come back for another year
I'll look for work today
I'm spilling out the door
Put my glasses on
So no one sees me
I never thought that
I'd be living on your floor
But the rents are high
And LA's easy
Oh, it's a picture of perfection
Ah, and the postcards gonna read
"Fuck yeah we can live like this...
We can live like this"
But if you left it up to me
Everyday would be
A holiday from real
We'd waste our weeks
Beneath the sun
We'd fry our brains
And write it's so much fun out here
Hey Madeleine (hey Madeleine)
You sure look fine (you sure look fine)
You wore my favorite sweater
Being poor was never better
A safety buzz (A safety buzz)
Some cheap red wine (Some cheap red wine)
Oh, the trouble we can get in
So let's screw this one up right
But if you left it up to me
Everyday would be
A holiday from real
We'd waste our weeks
Beneath the sun
We'd lie and tell our friends
It's so much fun out here
When it's all over
I'll come back for another year
When it's all over
I'll come back for another
When it's all over
I'll come back for another year.
