[verse 1]
C                                 F
I'm an elf, a Santa's helper, you see
C
I keep watch
                        F
While he's down the chimneys
Am                                G
And one night, I saw something so pretty

[Chorus]
     F  C  Am
That I, I, I
  G                F
I went through the window
    C  Am
And I, I,
  G          F
I hid in the shadows
C   Am
My, my
   G              F
My heart beat crescendoed
C     Am
High, high
      G        C
And I saw a... girl

[Verse 2]
C                                 Am   F
For twenty years, I keep going on back (back, back)
C                                       F
I pay the reindeer to keep it under the wraps
Am
I'm not a stalker (I promise)
           G
I'm just a real big fan

[Chorus]
F  C  Am
I, I, I
  G                F
I went through the window
    C  Am
And I, I,
  G          F
I hid in the shadows
C   Am
My, my
   G              F
My heart beat crescendoed
C  Am
I, I,
       G
I just stood there

[Bridge]
Dm         Am
Oh, how I loathe
              C
How Christmas comes
               G
Then Christmas goes

And I'm all alone
Dm         Am
Left in my head
         F
Are images
      G       Am    G          F
Three-hundred-sixty-four more days
  G       Am G            C
Until I'm watching her... sleep
F           C        F
I'm such an elf... creep

[Verse 3]
C
The time has come
             F
The night is here
        C
All the best lines and poems
                             F
I've rehearsed and rehearsed for years
C                             F
I woke her up and said 'sugar, don't you fear'
Am
She screamed so loud she busted the drums
      G
In my pointy spock ears

[Chorus 2]
      F
I ran out
C    Am
Out, out
  G           F
I ran out the window
    C    Am
And how, how
    G              F
Her screams sorely echoed
C    Am
Now, now
               G             F
I'm banned for life from hot cocoa
         C               Am
But it's fine, yeah it's fine

[Outro]
          G             F   C
Cause she knows that I exist
    Am
She knows,
    G            F    C
She knows that I exist
    Am
She knows,
    G            F    C
She knows that I exist
    Am
She knows
    G            F    C
She knows that I exist
    Am
She knows
    G             C
She knows that I exist
