Jack's Mannequin - Holiday From Real

**Rather than a B, I play:
E:0
B:1
G:0
D:0
A:2
E:x

I don't know the actual chord name, so I just called it B in the song. I basically just
followed the bassline to get the chords. Any questions, corrections, or comments may be
sent to supercurt9@hotmail.com

Am             G
She thinks I'm much too thin
F                  C
She asks me if I'm sick
          Am
What's a girl to do 
       G           F
With friends like this
Am            G
She lets me drive her car 
   F              C
So I can score an eighth
          Am
From the lesbians 
     G      F
Out west in Venice

Am G       F           C  
Oh,  California in the Summer
Am G        F                            
Ah,  and my hair is growing long
G     Am           F
F**k yeah, we can live like this


C           B*            Am
But if you left it up to me
     G
Everyday would be 
    F    C     G
A holiday from real

C               B*
We'd waste our weeks 
            Am
Beneath the sun
              G
We'd fry our brains 
             F       C       G
And say it's so much fun out here
               F   C 
But when it's all over
Am                  G            F
I'll come back for another year


I looked 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
"F**k 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


C                 
Hey Madeline (Hey Madeline)
                              Am
You sure look fine (You sure look fine)

You wore my favorite sweater
G
Being poor was never better
C
A safety buzz (A safety buzz)
                             Am
Some cheap red wine (Some cheap red wine)
                        
Oh, the trouble we can get in 
G                          F
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
But 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
