[Verse 1]
D           G         Bm
Wanted some speakers, Xbox, and t-shirts
G                   A            D
I've been good like every single day
D            G        Bm
Looked under my tree, my box was empty
G             A          D
Santa made an enemy that day (What the fuck?)
D          G      Bm
Done being jolly, time to be naughty
G                  A             D
Think it's time we settle up the score
D           G         Bm
Fill up the wishlist, let's cause some mischief
G                 A               D
Grab my keys, I'm headin' out the door
