If We Make It Through December chords by Phoebe Bridgers

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

To sound closer to Phoebe's piano version, I recommend alternating your thumb playing the root note and your
other fingers plucking the other strings! In the recording they sometimes add in some descending bass notes
between chord changes, but for the most part you can get away with just playing the chords through it.

Anywhere you see a B*, slide your index finger to the first fret but keep the other fingers the same!


Intro:
B  D#m  x2
B


Chorus:
B                        E
If we make it through December
                   Em           B     F#
Everything's gonna be alright, I know
G#m                       C#m
 It's the coldest time of winter
F#                                   B   B* B
 And I shiver when I see the falling snow
                      E
If we make it through December
                     Em               B          F#
Got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime
G#m             C#m
 Maybe even California
F#                                  B         B* B
 If we make it through December, we'll be fine

Verse 1:
B                   C#m
Got laid off at the factory
F#                                          B    B* B
 And their timing's not the greatest in the world
       F#              C#m          F#
Heaven knows I've been working hard
                                    B
Wanted Christmas to be right for my girl
B7                       E
 I don't mean to hate December
                     Em            B    F#
It's meant to be the happy time of year
G#m                      C#m
 And my little girl don't understand
F#                          B          D#m
 Why we can't afford no Christmas here


Instrumental:
B D#m  x2


Chorus:
B                          E
  If we make it through December
                   Em            B     F#
Everything's gonna be alright, I know
G#m                      C#m
 It's the coldest time of winter
F#                                   B   B* B
 And I shiver when I see the falling snow
                      E
If we make it through December
                     Em               B          F#
Got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime

 Maybe even California

 If we make it through December, we'll be fine
               C#m
Maybe even California
F#                                    B
 If we make it through December, we'll be fine
