This year's been hard on all of us, we seen our share of hills
G# A#m7 Cm7 C#maj7
We're making it by tooth and nail, we're countin up the bills
G# A#m7 Cm7 C#maj7
As Christmas time approaches, I'm don't feel like I should
C#maj7 Cm7 Bm7 A#m7 G# C#7 D#7
Cause honestly I haven't been that good
G# A#m7 Cm7 C#maj7
So as I lay in bed last night despairing o'er my sins
G# A#m7 Cm7 C#maj7
I heard the faintest whisper like a voice caught in the wind
G# A#m7 Cm7 C#maj7
Well I know this may sound crazy, but I heard it oh so clear
C#maj7 Cm7 Bm7 A#m7 G# C#7 D#7
I heard that Santa's taking credit this year
G# C#
If Santa's taking credit on "being good" this year
G# D#7
Then I'll expect to see his eight tiny reindeer
G# C# C#m
But without it I cannot afford to spread some Christmas cheer
G# D#7 G#
So Santa, bring a present, and I'll make it up next year
G# C#
Well in our modern economy, nobody pays up front
G# D#7
put it all on credit, and pay it off at the end of the month
G# C# G#
well Santa should be no different, and it seems completely fair
G# D#7 G#
Even if I've been more naughty than nice, I can make it up next year
G# C#
If Santa's taking credit on "being good" this year
G# D#7
Then I'll expect to see his eight tiny reindeer
G# C# C#m
But without it I cannot afford to spread some Christmas cheer
G# D#7 G#
So Santa, bring a present, and I'll make it up next year
C# G#
And I know that it may
C# G#
Seem to be so senseless
C# G#
for Santa to reward me
A# D#/C\B
but he's doing it for the interest
G# A#m7 Cm7 C#maj7
So, if you're like me your worried about your presents this year
C#maj7 Cm7 A#m7
If you're nice he won't forget it
C#maj7 Cm7 Bm7
If you're naughty don't you sweat it
C#maj7 Cm7 Bm7 A#m7 G# C#7 D#7
Cause Santa's taking credit this year
