This year's been hard on all of us, we seen our share of hills
F# G#m7 A#m7 Bmaj7
We're making it by tooth and nail, we're countin up the bills
F# G#m7 A#m7 Bmaj7
As Christmas time approaches, I'm don't feel like I should
Bmaj7 A#m7 Am7 G#m7 F# B7 C#7
Cause honestly I haven't been that good
F# G#m7 A#m7 Bmaj7
So as I lay in bed last night despairing o'er my sins
F# G#m7 A#m7 Bmaj7
I heard the faintest whisper like a voice caught in the wind
F# G#m7 A#m7 Bmaj7
Well I know this may sound crazy, but I heard it oh so clear
Bmaj7 A#m7 Am7 G#m7 F# B7 C#7
I heard that Santa's taking credit this year
F# B
If Santa's taking credit on "being good" this year
F# C#7
Then I'll expect to see his eight tiny reindeer
F# B Bm
But without it I cannot afford to spread some Christmas cheer
F# C#7 F#
So Santa, bring a present, and I'll make it up next year
F# B
Well in our modern economy, nobody pays up front
F# C#7
put it all on credit, and pay it off at the end of the month
F# B F#
well Santa should be no different, and it seems completely fair
F# C#7 F#
Even if I've been more naughty than nice, I can make it up next year
F# B
If Santa's taking credit on "being good" this year
F# C#7
Then I'll expect to see his eight tiny reindeer
F# B Bm
But without it I cannot afford to spread some Christmas cheer
F# C#7 F#
So Santa, bring a present, and I'll make it up next year
B F#
And I know that it may
B F#
Seem to be so senseless
B F#
for Santa to reward me
G# C#/C\B
but he's doing it for the interest
F# G#m7 A#m7 Bmaj7
So, if you're like me your worried about your presents this year
Bmaj7 A#m7 G#m7
If you're nice he won't forget it
Bmaj7 A#m7 Am7
If you're naughty don't you sweat it
Bmaj7 A#m7 Am7 G#m7 F# B7 C#7
Cause Santa's taking credit this year
