This year's been hard on all of us, we seen our share of hills
D Em7 F#m7 Gmaj7
We're making it by tooth and nail, we're countin up the bills
D Em7 F#m7 Gmaj7
As Christmas time approaches, I'm don't feel like I should
Gmaj7 F#m7 Fm7 Em7 D G7 A7
Cause honestly I haven't been that good
D Em7 F#m7 Gmaj7
So as I lay in bed last night despairing o'er my sins
D Em7 F#m7 Gmaj7
I heard the faintest whisper like a voice caught in the wind
D Em7 F#m7 Gmaj7
Well I know this may sound crazy, but I heard it oh so clear
Gmaj7 F#m7 Fm7 Em7 D G7 A7
I heard that Santa's taking credit this year
D G
If Santa's taking credit on "being good" this year
D A7
Then I'll expect to see his eight tiny reindeer
D G Gm
But without it I cannot afford to spread some Christmas cheer
D A7 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 A7
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 A7 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

Seem to be so senseless
G D
for Santa to reward me
E A/C\B
but he's doing it for the interest
D Em7 F#m7 Gmaj7
So, if you're like me your worried about your presents this year
