This year's been hard on all of us, we seen our share of hills
B C#m7 D#m7 Emaj7
We're making it by tooth and nail, we're countin up the bills
B C#m7 D#m7 Emaj7
As Christmas time approaches, I'm don't feel like I should
Emaj7 D#m7 Dm7 C#m7 B E7 F#7
Cause honestly I haven't been that good
B C#m7 D#m7 Emaj7
So as I lay in bed last night despairing o'er my sins
B C#m7 D#m7 Emaj7
I heard the faintest whisper like a voice caught in the wind
B C#m7 D#m7 Emaj7
Well I know this may sound crazy, but I heard it oh so clear
Emaj7 D#m7 Dm7 C#m7 B E7 F#7
I heard that Santa's taking credit this year
B E
If Santa's taking credit on "being good" this year
B F#7
Then I'll expect to see his eight tiny reindeer
B E Em
But without it I cannot afford to spread some Christmas cheer
B F#7 B
So Santa, bring a present, and I'll make it up next year
B E
Well in our modern economy, nobody pays up front
B F#7
put it all on credit, and pay it off at the end of the month
B E B
well Santa should be no different, and it seems completely fair
B F#7 B
Even if I've been more naughty than nice, I can make it up next year
B E
If Santa's taking credit on "being good" this year
B F#7
Then I'll expect to see his eight tiny reindeer
B E Em
But without it I cannot afford to spread some Christmas cheer
B F#7 B
So Santa, bring a present, and I'll make it up next year
E B
And I know that it may
E B
Seem to be so senseless
E B
for Santa to reward me
C# F#/C\B
but he's doing it for the interest
B C#m7 D#m7 Emaj7
So, if you're like me your worried about your presents this year
Emaj7 D#m7 C#m7
If you're nice he won't forget it
Emaj7 D#m7 Dm7
If you're naughty don't you sweat it
Emaj7 D#m7 Dm7 C#m7 B E7 F#7
Cause Santa's taking credit this year
