Don't shoot me Santa Clause
I've been a clean living boy

I couldn't let them off that easy

Oh, Santa
It's been a real hard year (Year)
There just ain't no getting around this, life is hard
But look at me, I turned out alright
Hey, Santa
Why don't we talk about it? Work it out
Believe me, this ain't what I wanted
I love all you kids, you know that
Hell, I remember when you were just ten years old
Playing out there in the desert
Just waiting for a sip of that sweet Mojave rain

A#
In the sweet Mojave rain
The boy was on his own

Chorus

             G#                       A#
They had it coming, so, why can't you see
            D#               G#
I couldn't turn my cheek no longer
     F
The sun is going down and Christmas is near
       A#                                    D#
Just look the other way and I'll disappear forever

Chorus:
Don't shoot me, Santa Claus
Well, no one else around believes me
But the children on the street, they tease me
And I couldn't let 'em off that easy
