This year's been hard on all of us, we seen our share of hills
A# Cm7 Dm7 D#maj7
We're making it by tooth and nail, we're countin up the bills
A# Cm7 Dm7 D#maj7
As Christmas time approaches, I'm don't feel like I should
D#maj7 Dm7 C#m7 Cm7 A# D#7 F7
Cause honestly I haven't been that good
A# Cm7 Dm7 D#maj7
So as I lay in bed last night despairing o'er my sins
A# Cm7 Dm7 D#maj7
I heard the faintest whisper like a voice caught in the wind
A# Cm7 Dm7 D#maj7
Well I know this may sound crazy, but I heard it oh so clear
D#maj7 Dm7 C#m7 Cm7 A# D#7 F7
I heard that Santa's taking credit this year
A# D#
If Santa's taking credit on "being good" this year
A# F7
Then I'll expect to see his eight tiny reindeer
A# D# D#m
But without it I cannot afford to spread some Christmas cheer
A# F7 A#
So Santa, bring a present, and I'll make it up next year
A# D#
Well in our modern economy, nobody pays up front
A# F7
put it all on credit, and pay it off at the end of the month
A# D# A#
well Santa should be no different, and it seems completely fair
A# F7 A#
Even if I've been more naughty than nice, I can make it up next year
A# D#
If Santa's taking credit on "being good" this year
A# F7
Then I'll expect to see his eight tiny reindeer
A# D# D#m
But without it I cannot afford to spread some Christmas cheer
A# F7 A#
So Santa, bring a present, and I'll make it up next year
D# A#
And I know that it may
D# A#
Seem to be so senseless
D# A#
for Santa to reward me
C F/C\B
but he's doing it for the interest
A# Cm7 Dm7 D#maj7
So, if you're like me your worried about your presents this year
D#maj7 Dm7 Cm7
If you're nice he won't forget it
D#maj7 Dm7 C#m7
If you're naughty don't you sweat it
D#maj7 Dm7 C#m7 Cm7 A# D#7 F7
Cause Santa's taking credit this year
