Intro:
[A] [G] [Bm]
[A] [G] [Bm]
[A]I was thinking I could clean up fo[G]r Christmas[Bm]
And then, baby,[A] I'm through[F#m][D]
[A]Four more weeks that couldn't make any differe[G]nce[Bm]
Except may[A]be to you[F#m][D]

But I've trie[F]d to use that trick[D]
Like a ca[F]rrot on a stick[D][B]

[A]So I was thinking I could clean up[G] for Christmas[Bm]
Then, baby, I'm through[A][G][A]

[A]I was thinking I could clean up fo[G]r Christmas[Bm]
And then, baby[A], I'm done[F#m][D]
[A]One less fucker trying to get in the [G]business[Bm]
Of the pro[A]digal son[F#m][D]

Where I know [F]I can't compete[D]
Once I'm off [F]of Hastings Street[D][B]
[A]So I was thinking I could clean up fo[G]r Christmas[Bm]
Then, baby, I'm done[A][G][A]

'Cause I can't[D] live loaded and I can't live sober[A][E]
And I've bee[D]n this way since the end of October[A][E]
And I kno[D]w enough to know
That, ba[F#m]by, when it's over, it's over[G]
And it's over[D]
'Cause, baby, I'm done[A][G][Bm]
[A] [G] [Bm]

[A]I was thinking I could clean up fo[G]r Christmas[Bm]
And then call [A]it a day[F#m][D]
[A]Tell you I'm sorry that I made you a [G]witness[Bm]
To my mora[A]l decay[F#m][D]

And that, once[F] upon a time[D]
I be[F]lieved it was a victiml[D]ess crime[B]
[A]I was thinking I could clean up fo[G]r Christmas[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]
[A] [G] [Bm]
