This year's been hard on all of us, we seen our share of hills
D# Fm7 Gm7 G#maj7
We're making it by tooth and nail, we're countin up the bills
D# Fm7 Gm7 G#maj7
As Christmas time approaches, I'm don't feel like I should
G#maj7 Gm7 F#m7 Fm7 D# G#7 A#7
Cause honestly I haven't been that good
D# Fm7 Gm7 G#maj7
So as I lay in bed last night despairing o'er my sins
D# Fm7 Gm7 G#maj7
I heard the faintest whisper like a voice caught in the wind
D# Fm7 Gm7 G#maj7
Well I know this may sound crazy, but I heard it oh so clear
G#maj7 Gm7 F#m7 Fm7 D# G#7 A#7
I heard that Santa's taking credit this year
D# G#
If Santa's taking credit on "being good" this year
D# A#7
Then I'll expect to see his eight tiny reindeer
D# G# G#m
But without it I cannot afford to spread some Christmas cheer
D# A#7 D#
So Santa, bring a present, and I'll make it up next year
D# G#
Well in our modern economy, nobody pays up front
D# A#7
put it all on credit, and pay it off at the end of the month
D# G# D#
well Santa should be no different, and it seems completely fair
D# A#7 D#
Even if I've been more naughty than nice, I can make it up next year
D# G#
If Santa's taking credit on "being good" this year
D# A#7
Then I'll expect to see his eight tiny reindeer
D# G# G#m
But without it I cannot afford to spread some Christmas cheer
D# A#7 D#
So Santa, bring a present, and I'll make it up next year
G# D#
And I know that it may
G# D#
Seem to be so senseless
G# D#
for Santa to reward me
F A#/C\B
but he's doing it for the interest
D# Fm7 Gm7 G#maj7
So, if you're like me your worried about your presents this year
G#maj7 Gm7 Fm7
If you're nice he won't forget it
G#maj7 Gm7 F#m7
If you're naughty don't you sweat it
G#maj7 Gm7 F#m7 Fm7 D# G#7 A#7
Cause Santa's taking credit this year
