 A (x02220@1)                     G (320003@1)                  BmI (x24432@1)was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
            A (x02220@1)      G (320003@1)      DAnd (xx0232@1)then, baby, I'm through
Four more weeks that couldn't make any difference
Except maybe to you

          F (133211@1)                D (xx0232@1) 
But I've tried to use that trick
          F (133211@1)         D (xx0232@1)Fm (133111@1)      
Like a carrot on a stick
So I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
Then, baby, I'm through

I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
And then, baby, I'm done
One less fucker trying to get in the business
Of the prodigal son

Where I know I can't compete
Once I'm off of Hastings Street
So I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
Then, baby, I'm done
  A (x02220@1)                                            G (320003@1)Bm'Cause (x24432@1)I can't live loaded and I can't live sober
  A (x02220@1)                                           G (320003@1)BmAnd (x24432@1)I've been this way since the end of October
  AAnd (x02220@1)I know enough to know
       G (320003@1)             Bm (x24432@1)      DThat, (xx0232@1)baby, when it's over, it's over
And it's over
                  A'Cause, (x02220@1)baby, I'm done

I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
And then call it a day
Tell you I'm sorry that I made you a witness
To my moral decay

And that, once upon a time
I believed it was a victimless crime
I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
Then call it a day
Then call it a day
Then call it a day
