DBm
I'm so glad you made time to see me
G
How's life? Tell me, how's your family
DA
I haven't seen them in a whiiiiile
DBm
You've been good; busier than ever
G
Small talk, work and the weather
DA
Your guard is up and I know whyyyyy
BmA
Because the last time saw me
DG
Still burns in the back of your mind
BmAG
You gave me roses and I left them there to die
D
So this is me swallowing my pride
Gbm
Standing in front of you saying
G
I'm sorry for that night
DA
And I go back to December all the time
D
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' you
GbmG
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
DA
And I go back to December, turn around
G
And make it all right
D A D G D G x2
I go back to December all the time
D
These days I haven't been sleepin
Bm
Stayin' up playing back myself leavin
G
When your birthday passed
DAD
And I didn't ca...all, then I think about summer
All the beautiful times
BmG
I watched you laughin' from the passenger side
D A1
Realized I loved you in the faaaaall
BmA
And then the cold came
DG
With the dark days when the fear crept into my mind
Bm
You gave me all your love
AG
And all I gave you was goodbye
D
So this is me swallowing my pride
Gbm
Standing in front of you saying
G
I'm sorry for that night
DA
And I go back to December all the time
D
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' you
GbmG
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
DA
And I go back to December, turn around
G
And change my own mind
DA
I go back to December all the time
DGDBmG
GBmG
I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile
DA
So good to me, so right
BmG
And how you held me in your arms
D
That September night
ABm
The first time you ever saw me cry
G
Maybe this is wishful thinking
D
Probably mindless dreaming
A
If we loved again, I swear I'd love you right
BmAG
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
BmAG
So if the chain is on your door I understand
D
But this is me swallowing my pride
Gbm
Standing in front of you saying
G
I'm sorry for that night
DA
And I go back to December
DGbm
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' you

And make it all right

G
And change my own mind
DA
I go back to December all the time
