Biography:
The Get Up Kids are a Kansas City-based American emo band. Formed in 1995, the band was a major player in the mid-90's emo scene, otherwise known as the "second wave" of emo music. As they gained prominence, they began touring with bands such as Green Day and Weezer before becoming headliners themselves, eventually embarking on international tours of Japan and Europe. They founded Heroes & Villains Records, an imprint of the successful indie rock label Vagrant Records.

Holiday Acoustic - The Get Up Kids
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Sean Hummer
Email: [email protected]
Someone requested that I tab this song into an acoustic version so I gave it a
shot. I don't know that The Get Up Kids have ever actually played this song
acoustically but these chords can also be used for the rhythm to the electric
version.
Beneath the chords I included a tab of how to play this acoustically with my
version of the lead/melody included in the rhythm chords.
Tuning: Standard
Chords used:
E - 022100
C#m - x46654
G#m - 466444
A - x02220
F#m - 244222
B - x24442
E C#m
What became of everyone I used to know?
G#m A
Where did our respectable convictions go?
E C#m
Your words don’t match the story that your actions show
G#m A
But what do I know?
F#m G#m A
I’m sure you can’t help but remembering
C#m B A
I thought that you’d be one not to forget
C#m B A
Remembering’s not helping you yet
E
Say goodnight
C#m
Mean goodbye
A B C#m E
I know you think my life will stop when you’re away
A B
Maybe I can see you on
E C#m
Holidays, worlds away
A B C#m E
I’ve never forgotten all our yesterdays
A B
I’m lucky if we’re speaking on the
E
Holidays
C#m G#m A
E C#m
The evidence presents itself accusingly
G#m A
Your absence speaking everything you think of me
E C#m
Now that I am faced with opportunity
G#m A
You’re not remembering
F#m G#m A
I’m not asking you anyway
C#m B A
And even if you ever could cave in
C#m B A
I wouldn’t know where to begin
E
Say goodnight
C#m
Mean goodbye
A B C#m E
I know you think my life will stop when you’re away
A B
Maybe I can see you on
E C#m
Holidays, worlds away
A B C#m E
I’ve never forgotten all our yesterdays

This is another version I created on acoustic that is very similar to the one
above except it includes some lead/melody for those wishing for an acoustic
version that sounds more like the album.
