[VERSE 1]
[C]Tough choice, don't [Am]make me laugh
My [E]life's a joke, your [F]life's a gas
You [C]broke my heart at [Am]midnight mass
Now [E]I'm the ghost of [F]Christmas past
The [C]only choice you [Am]gave to me
Is [E]one I took rel[F]uctantly
'Cause [C]when we play de[Am]mocracy
You [E]always take im[F]munity

[VERSE 2]
[C]What's the point of [Am]getting clean?
You'll [E]wear the same old [F]dirty jeans
[C]What's the point of [Am]being seen?
Those [E]eyes are cruel, those [F]eyes are mean

A [E]Sharpie face on [F]tangerines

Since [E]Christmas 20[F]17?
