[Verse]
F            Am           C               F
The afternoon has settled long and heavy on my shoulders

 Dm            G              F  |  C
The winter's light feels different on my skin

   Dm        Dm/C             Am            Am/G
It doesn't seem to strike as far below the surface so

  D/F#
I have to conclude that

       F              C
shadow won't let it in

       F              C
shadow won't let it in

       F              C
shadow won't let it in
[Chorus]
Dm
December…

                      G
You've always been a problem child

         C                    Am
December...  You run me down right restless and wild

           Dm             G
And I remember when you used to be mine

C/G       Am7              Em            F
December-whoooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaah

C/G       Am7              Em            F
December-whoooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaah
[Verse 2]
F                  Am               C                F
The leaves are all still changing, the weather here is mild and vacant

 Dm       G             F | C
Winter's blooming on Los Angeles

Dm        Dm/C            Am          Am/G
The artificial cold was more than I was hoping for

    D/F#
But not enough to consume

       F               C
the darkened state I'm in

       F               C
the darkened state I'm in

       F               C
the darkened state I'm in
[Chorus]
Dm
December…

                       G
You've always been a problem child

         C                     Am
December...  You run me down right restless and wild

           Dm             G
And I remember when you used to be mine

C/G       Am7              Em            F
December-whoooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaah

C/G       Am7              Em            F
December-whoooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaah
[Bridge]
             Am   G    C    Em    F
Distill a whole year down into a day

             Am    G    C         Em         F
Act like we all start over with a pristine slate

                 Am       G          C              Em         Dm
But to get yourself a new life you've got to give the other one away

             Dm                      G
And I'm starting to believe in the power of a name

             Dm                         G
Cause it can't be a mistake if I just call it change
C/G Am7 Em F [Outro]
C/G       Am7              Em            F       x6
December-whoooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaah
