December Tab uke di Sara Bareilles

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                         Am          
It doesn't seem to strike as far below the surface so
   
   D                         F                 C 
I have to conclude that shadow won't let it in

 
 
CHORUS:

Dm 
December…
                                G
You've always been a problem child
                                
C                                             Am
December...  You run me down restless and wild
                                            
           Dm                        G
And I remember when you used to be mine
         
C         Am7              Em7              F 
December, whoa (x2)

      F                    Am           
The leaves are all still changing,

      C               F        
The weather here is mild and vacant

Dm         G           F         C
A winter's blooming on Los Angeles

Dm                    Am           
The artificial cold is more than i was hoping for

D                       
But not enough to consume 

F                       C 
The darkened state i'm in

Dm 
December
                                G
You've always been a problem child
                                
C                                           
December

Am
You run me down restless and wild
                                            
           Dm                        G
And I remember when you used to be mine
         
C         Am7              Em7              F 
December, whoa (x2) 

 
             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                   
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         Am7     Em7              F 
December, whoa (Can't turn around now)

C         Am7     Em7              F 
December (Break the chain, can't live in circles)
