lyrics

F Am/E Dm
I’m weary, I’m tired, I’m pooped.
Bb C
I’ve had about all I can handle
F Am/E Dm C
I followed a star but I travelled too far
Gm C7
I’m lighting my sixth and penultimate candle
Dm F/C
I’m nearing the end of the edge
Bb Gm A
I’m reaching the brink of exhaustion with advent
Dm Db C Am
I can’t Christmas at all this year,
Gm Bb C
I’m weary, I’m tired, I’m spent.

F Am/E Dm Am/C
I'm weary, I'm tired, I'm pooped
Bb C F
When will you make an end?


I’m aching, I sorrow, I’m sorry
My feet hurt, my eyes are too dry
I thought I was done, but I’ve scarcely begun
The apple’s gone out of my eye.
I’d sleep, but it would be waste
I’d rise, but it would be pride
This Christmas I’ll Christmas without all the stuff
Just wrapping with nothing inside.

I'm weary, I'm tired, I'm pooped
For any Christmastide

I’m weary, I’ve had it, I’m done.
Wake me when new year is here.
This week is a write-off, I’ll take Christmas night off
And crouch for the rest of the year.
I hoped that this year would be better.
I hoped that I’d end it content
There’s two percent left, I’m feeling bereft
I don’t want to open the presents you sent

I'm weary, I'm tired, I'm pooped
I'm just collecting rent


I’m weary, I’m tired, I’m pooped
I’ve had about all I can take
I’m petering out, don’t ask me about
My merriment, plans and the cake.
Attend to your own happy Christmas
I just want to get it behind me.
But if you call asking, there will be no masking
The truth, so please never mind me.

I'm weary, I'm tired, I'm pooped
To bear all that was assigned me


I hope it snows, so I
Can look at plain fields of white
And think upon oblivion
With everything out of my sight
I’ve had it with the details,
I’m weary of TV
I just want to say, world go away
I wish there was nothing but me

I'm weary, I'm tired, I'm pooped
I wish there was nothing but me
