[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]

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
