A5    G5    B5
A5    G5    B5

A5                                 G5                            B5
I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
               A5              F#5        D5
And then, baby, I'm through
A5                                             G5                         B5
Four more weeks that couldn't make any difference
          A5              F#5        D5
Except maybe to you


             F5                      D5   
But I've tried to use that trick
         F5               D5     B5        
Like a carrot on a stick

A5                                 G5                            B5
So I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
                        A5       G5  A5
Then, baby, I'm through


A5                                 G5                            B5
I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
              A5              F#5        D5
And then, baby, I'm done
A5                                    G5                         B5
One less fucker trying to get in the business
          A5          F#5       D5
Of the prodigal son


             F5                      D5   
Where I know I can't compete
             F5                      D5      B5   
Once I'm off of Hastings Street
A5                                    G5                            B5
So I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
                         A5       G5  A5
Then, baby, I'm done


              D5                                                     A5  E5
'Cause I can't live loaded and I can't live sober
            D5                                                      A5  E5
And I've been this way since the end of October
         D5
And I know enough to know
        F#5                                G5             
That, baby, when it's over, it's over
              D5
And it's over
                           A5      G5     B5
'Cause, baby, I'm done
                           A5      G5     B5


A5                                 G5                            B5
I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas
              A5              F#5        D5
And then call it a day
A5                                    G5                         B5
Tell you I'm sorry that I made you a witness
          A5          F#5       D5
To my moral decay


              F5                       D5
And that, once upon a time
    F5                      D5              B5
I believed it was a victimless crime
A5                                 G5                            B5
I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas

                   A5   G5   B5
Then call it a day
                   A5   G5   B5
Then call it a day
                   A5   G5   B5
Then call it a day

                   A5   G5   B5
                   A5   G5   B5
                   A5   G5   B5
                   A5   G5   B5
