This year's been hard on all of us, we seen our share of hills
F Gm7 Am7 A#maj7
We're making it by tooth and nail, we're countin up the bills
F Gm7 Am7 A#maj7
As Christmas time approaches, I'm don't feel like I should
A#maj7 Am7 G#m7 Gm7 F A#7 C7
Cause honestly I haven't been that good
F Gm7 Am7 A#maj7
So as I lay in bed last night despairing o'er my sins
F Gm7 Am7 A#maj7
I heard the faintest whisper like a voice caught in the wind
F Gm7 Am7 A#maj7
Well I know this may sound crazy, but I heard it oh so clear
A#maj7 Am7 G#m7 Gm7 F A#7 C7
I heard that Santa's taking credit this year
F A#
If Santa's taking credit on "being good" this year
F C7
Then I'll expect to see his eight tiny reindeer
F A# A#m
But without it I cannot afford to spread some Christmas cheer
F C7 F
So Santa, bring a present, and I'll make it up next year
F A#
Well in our modern economy, nobody pays up front
F C7
put it all on credit, and pay it off at the end of the month
F A# F
well Santa should be no different, and it seems completely fair
F C7 F
Even if I've been more naughty than nice, I can make it up next year
F A#
If Santa's taking credit on "being good" this year
F C7
Then I'll expect to see his eight tiny reindeer
F A# A#m
But without it I cannot afford to spread some Christmas cheer
F C7 F
So Santa, bring a present, and I'll make it up next year
A# F
And I know that it may
A# F
Seem to be so senseless
A# F
for Santa to reward me
G C/C\B
but he's doing it for the interest
F Gm7 Am7 A#maj7
So, if you're like me your worried about your presents this year
A#maj7 Am7 Gm7
If you're nice he won't forget it
A#maj7 Am7 G#m7
If you're naughty don't you sweat it
A#maj7 Am7 G#m7 Gm7 F A#7 C7
Cause Santa's taking credit this year
