C
Bleary eyed and wasted
I wake up to an unlikely dawn

F
Of beautiful people
F
All around me
I am at your gateway now

C
The people are talking
Like they're winning
C
Like the world's not spinning
Like they're in control

[Pre-Chorus 1]
             F
Like they're Marilyn Monroe
At a cocktail party
F
I'm someone outrageous
         C
Like Jean Genet
  
[Chorus]
        Bb      F       C
And I've wasted all my time
        Bb      F
On cocaine at Christmas
     C
And bottles of wine
          Bb     F     C
And I'm as happy as a child
            Bb          F       C
Cause you don't have to ask me why
 
[Verse 2]
C
I'm in love with the season
I'm in love with it all
C
I'm in love with it
I'm in love with the drunks
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
    F
I am Marilyn Monroe
I am a cocktail party
F
I'm someone ugly
                   C
Beautiful like Jean Genet
 
[Chorus]
        Bb      F       C
And I've wasted all my time
        Bb      F
On cocaine at Christmas
     C
And bottles of wine
          Bb     F     C
And I'm as happy as a child
            Bb          F       C
Cause you don't have to ask me why
 
[Interlude]
Bb  F  C
 
[Chorus]
   Bb         F
You don’t have to ask
         C
You don’t have to ask
   Bb         F
You don’t have to
              C
You don’t have to ask
      Bb         F             C
It’s a cocaine Christmas and an alcoholic's new year
    Bb      F           C
A cocaine Christmas
