This year's been hard on all of us, we seen our share of hills
E F#m7 G#m7 A7M
We're making it by tooth and nail, we're countin up the bills
E F#m7 G#m7 A7M
As Christmas time approaches, I'm don't feel like I should
A7M G#m7 Gm7 F#m7 E A7 B7
Cause honestly I haven't been that good
E F#m7 G#m7 A7M
So as I lay in bed last night despairing o'er my sins
E F#m7 G#m7 A7M
I heard the faintest whisper like a voice caught in the wind
E F#m7 G#m7 A7M
Well I know this may sound crazy, but I heard it oh so clear
A7M G#m7 Gm7 F#m7 E A7 B7
I heard that Santa's taking credit this year
E A
If Santa's taking credit on "being good" this year
E B7
Then I'll expect to see his eight tiny reindeer
E A Am
But without it I cannot afford to spread some Christmas cheer
E B7 E
So Santa, bring a present, and I'll make it up next year
E A
Well in our modern economy, nobody pays up front
E B7
put it all on credit, and pay it off at the end of the month
E A E
well Santa should be no different, and it seems completely fair
E B7 E
Even if I've been more naughty than nice, I can make it up next year

Seem to be so senseless
A E
for Santa to reward me
F# B
but he's doing it for the interest
E F#m7 G#m7 A7M
So, if you're like me your worried about your presents this year
A7M G#m7 F#m7
If you're nice he won't forget it
A7M G#m7 Gm7
If you're naughty don't you sweat it
A7M G#m7 Gm7 F#m7E A7 B7
Cause Santa's taking credit this year
