[Verse]
C                Em      D
     Maybe if I tell you why
C                  Em        D
     I can hear my own damn reasons
C               Em         D
     Maybe if I take my time
C                         Em      D
     Then I can feel the changing seasons
C               Em       D
     Maybe if I knew my lines
C                           Em             D
     You wouldn't see me up here hardly breathin
C                Em        D
     Maybe if I changed my mind
C                        Em      D
     I wouldn't see my message freezin

[Chorus]
            Am        Em         D
     But I admit, I confess, I surrender
         Am        F          D
     I forgive, I forget, I remember
          Am       Em         D
     I re-live, I regret, I re-enter
           Am    F          D             C      Em     D      C     Em     D
     Into this neverending December    Mmmmmm

C                Em         D
     Maybe if I don't look down
C                     Em         D
     Then I can be a tightrope walker
C                  Em    D
     Maybe it all comes around
C                           Em          D
     And I can gain what's owed to my father
C               Em         D
     Maybe if I play this hand
C                           Em    D
     I can blow this thing wide open
C                   Em        D
     But maybe you won't understand
C                               Em       D
     And I should leave these doubts unspoken

[Chorus]
            Am        Em           D
     But I admit, I confess, I surrender
          Am       F           D
     I forgive, I forget, I remember
          Am      Em         D
     I re-live, I regret, I re-enter
           Am      F        D
     Into this neverending December
                   C           Em    D    C    Em    D
     Never ending December---------------------------------
