G             D
Wake up, The house is on fire
G                    C
And the cat's caught in the dryer
G         Em
Philiosophy's a liar when
      C                 D
Your home is your headstone

"Icon" is the last chance for hope
When there's no such thing as heroes
Your faith lies in the ditch that
You dug yourself in

Bm              C            G C G
Last chance to piss it all away
Em          Bm
Nothing but hell to pay
          C                D
When the lights are going down

Chorus:
 G            Bm         C               G
Deadbeat Holiday - celebrate your own decay
           C                  G
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
      F               D
On a noose over your home

 G            Bm       C                   G
Deadbeat Holiday - get on your knees and pray
           C                  G
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
        F                 D
But at least you're not alone

Christmas lights in the middle of August
Grudges come back to haunt us
Your oldest allies are
Your long lost enemies

Grounded in a duplex to find
That you're living on a landmine
Vacation hotspots is a cemetery drive

Last chance to piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay
When the lights are going down

Chorus

D
Holiday!
Suicide!

Last chance to piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay
When all you wanna do
Not to... give up! (Give up!)

Chorus:
Deadbeat holiday
Celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
On a noose over your home
Oh, deadbeat holiday
Get on your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
But at least you're not alone
Oh, deadbeat holiday
Celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
But at least you're not alone

D       G
Holiday
