This year's been hard on all of us, we seen our share of hills
C# D#m7 Fm7 F#maj7
We're making it by tooth and nail, we're countin up the bills
C# D#m7 Fm7 F#maj7
As Christmas time approaches, I'm don't feel like I should
F#maj7 Fm7 Em7 D#m7 C# F#7 G#7
Cause honestly I haven't been that good
C# D#m7 Fm7 F#maj7
So as I lay in bed last night despairing o'er my sins
C# D#m7 Fm7 F#maj7
I heard the faintest whisper like a voice caught in the wind
C# D#m7 Fm7 F#maj7
Well I know this may sound crazy, but I heard it oh so clear
F#maj7 Fm7 Em7 D#m7 C# F#7 G#7
I heard that Santa's taking credit this year
C# F#
If Santa's taking credit on "being good" this year
C# G#7
Then I'll expect to see his eight tiny reindeer
C# F# F#m
But without it I cannot afford to spread some Christmas cheer
C# G#7 C#
So Santa, bring a present, and I'll make it up next year
C# F#
Well in our modern economy, nobody pays up front
C# G#7
put it all on credit, and pay it off at the end of the month
C# F# C#
well Santa should be no different, and it seems completely fair
C# G#7 C#
Even if I've been more naughty than nice, I can make it up next year
C# F#
If Santa's taking credit on "being good" this year
C# G#7
Then I'll expect to see his eight tiny reindeer
C# F# F#m
But without it I cannot afford to spread some Christmas cheer
C# G#7 C#
So Santa, bring a present, and I'll make it up next year
F# C#
And I know that it may
F# C#
Seem to be so senseless
F# C#
for Santa to reward me
D# G#/C\B
but he's doing it for the interest
C# D#m7 Fm7 F#maj7
So, if you're like me your worried about your presents this year
F#maj7 Fm7 D#m7
If you're nice he won't forget it
F#maj7 Fm7 Em7
If you're naughty don't you sweat it
F#maj7 Fm7 Em7 D#m7 C# F#7 G#7
Cause Santa's taking credit this year
