Intro:
A G Bm
A G Bm
A G Bm
I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
A F#m D
And then, baby, I'm through
A G Bm
Four more weeks that couldn't make any difference
A F#m D
Except maybe to you
F D
But I've tried to use that trick
F D B
Like a carrot on a stick
A G Bm
So I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
A G A
Then, baby, I'm through
A G Bm
I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
A F#m D
And then, baby, I'm done
A G Bm
One less fucker trying to get in the business
A F#m D
Of the prodigal son
F D
Where I know I can't compete
F D B
Once I'm off of Hastings Street
A G Bm
So I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
A G A
Then, baby, I'm done
D A E
'Cause I can't live loaded and I can't live sober
D A E
And I've been this way since the end of October
D
And I know enough to know
F#m G
That, baby, when it's over, it's over
D
And it's over
A G Bm
'Cause, baby, I'm done
A G Bm
A G Bm
I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
A F#m D
And then call it a day
A G Bm
Tell you I'm sorry that I made you a witness
A F#m D
To my moral decay
F D
And that, once upon a time
F D B
I believed it was a victimless crime
A G Bm
I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
A G Bm
Then call it a day
A G Bm
Then call it a day
A G Bm
Then call it a day
A G Bm
A G Bm
A G Bm
A G Bm
