This year's been hard on all of us, we seen our share of hills
C Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7
We're making it by tooth and nail, we're countin up the bills
C Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7
As Christmas time approaches, I'm don't feel like I should
Fmaj7 Em7 D#m7 Dm7 C F7 G7
Cause honestly I haven't been that good
C Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7
So as I lay in bed last night despairing o'er my sins
C Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7
I heard the faintest whisper like a voice caught in the wind
C Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7
Well I know this may sound crazy, but I heard it oh so clear
Fmaj7 Em7 D#m7 Dm7 C F7 G7
I heard that Santa's taking credit this year
C F
If Santa's taking credit on "being good" this year
C G7
Then I'll expect to see his eight tiny reindeer
C F Fm
But without it I cannot afford to spread some Christmas cheer
C G7 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 G7
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 G7 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 G7
Then I'll expect to see his eight tiny reindeer
C F Fm
But without it I cannot afford to spread some Christmas cheer
C G7 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 Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7
So, if you're like me your worried about your presents this year
Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7
If you're nice he won't forget it
Fmaj7 Em7 D#m7
If you're naughty don't you sweat it
Fmaj7 Em7 D#m7 Dm7 C F7 G7
Cause Santa's taking credit this year
