From the upcoming album "All in Transit" on Maverick Records
Okay, my first tab. I came across this song thanks to sxsw in Austin, Tx.
I've listened to this song sixty-seven times in two day and I still think it's one of
me if you want it. This tab is close enough for me but if you make any changes or
Artist: Jack's Mannequin
Title: Holiday from Real
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
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 growing long
F**k 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
But when it's all over
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
Hey Madeline (Hey Madeline)
You sure look fine (You sure look fine)
You wore my favorite sweater
Being poor was never better
safety buzz ( 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
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
