Verse: 

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

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

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

I have to conclude that shadow won't let it in  
   D/F#                          F                 C   x3 




December…  
Dm 

You've always been a problem child  
                                G 

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

And I remember when you used to be mine  
           Dm                        G 

Decembeeeeeeeeeeer-whoooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaah (lol) 
C/G                        Am7              Em7              F 


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

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 
             Dm                               G 


Repeat Chorus for Instrumental part. 

Enjoy!!! Thanks again to Mr. Parrotte.
