[Intro]

| G     | Fsus2 | C     | C     |
 
 
[Verse 1]
       C
I came down the stairs at 7 looking kinda just like Kevin
         Fsus2
When his family left him behind
      G                  Fsus2                C
And I knew I was being accused of a Christmas crime (Christmas crime)
        C
Grandma said that I was guilty with a look that coulda killed me
      Fsus2
And I didn't know what to do
     G                          Fsus2                  C
So I crossed all my fingers and said, "Was it you-know-who?" (You-know-who)
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
           C
She said, "Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar?"
                Dm7
She said, "Now, who pulled the bourbon out from Grandpa's bar?
        G                            Fsus2
And the tree on the ground, tell me, who knocked it down?"
              C
My hands were red, so I said
 
 
[Chorus]
N.C.        Fsus2   G
Blame it on Santa
                C                Am7
Blame it on the reindeer in the sky
                    Fsus2   G
But don't check the camera
                   C
I swear that I was fast asleep last night
      Fsus2
Oh, I know I look suspicious
    G
For goodness sake, it's Christmas
C      C/B   Am7
I know you believe
      Fsus2       G
Don't blame it on me
            C
Blame it on Santa
 
 
[Verse 2]
        C
Oh, the footprints on the table, I know they might match the label
      Fsus2
Of my favorite pair of dancing shoes
        G                             Fsus2                C
So real quick, I said, "Doesn't Saint Nick wear a size ten too?" (Yes, it's true)
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
           C
She said, "Who ordered pizza on my credit card?
           Dm7
All twenty-two giant pizzas on my credit card?
          G                         Fsus2
And that skunk that I smell, let me guess, was an elf"
                C
She said, "Come clean," "It wasn't me"
 
 
[Chorus]
            Fsus2   G
Blame it on Santa
                C                Am7
Blame it on the reindeer in the sky
                    Fsus2   G
But don't check the camera
                   C
I swear that I was fast asleep last night
      Fsus2
Oh, I know I look suspicious
    G
For goodness sake, it's Christmas
C      C/B   Am7
I know you believe
      Fsus2       G
Don't blame it on me
            C
Blame it on Santa

                C                Am7
Blame it on the reindeer in the sky
                    Fsus2   G
But don't check the camera
                   C
I swear that I was fast asleep last night
      Fsus2
Oh, I know I look suspicious
    G
For goodness sake, it's Christmas
C      C/B   Am7
I know you believe

Blame it on Santa
