D MajorD
I'm so glad you made time to see me
G+G
How's life, tell me how's your family
D MajorD
I haven't seen them in a while
D MajorD
You've been good, busier than ever
G+G
We small talk, work and the weather
D MajorD
Your guard is up, and I know why
D MajorD
Because the last time you saw me is still burned in the back of you mind
D MajorD
You gave me roses, and I left them there to die
D MajorD
So this is me swallowing my pride
E minorEm
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
D MajorD
And I go back to December all the time
D MajorD
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
E minorEm
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
D MajorD
And I go back to December
E minorEm
Turn around and make it alright
G+G
I go back to December all the time
G+G 2x
D MajorD
These days, I haven't been sleeping
G+G
Staying up playing back myself leaving
D MajorD
When your birthday passed, and I didn't call
D MajorD
And I think about summer all the beautiful times
G+G
I watched you laughing from the passenger side and
D MajorD
Realized I loved you in the fall
D MajorD
And then the cold came, and dark days when fear crept into my mind
D MajorD
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye
D MajorD
So this is me swallowing my pride
E minorEm
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
D MajorD
And I go back to December all the time
D MajorD
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
E minorEm
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
D MajorD
And I go back to December
E minorEm
Turn around and change my own mind
G+G
I go back to December all the time
G+G 2x
G+G
I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile
D MajorD
So good to me, so right
D MajorD
And how you held me in your arms that September night
Em***
The first time you ever saw me cry
Em***
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
D*
If we loved again, I swear I'd love you right
D*
I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't
D*
So if the chain is on your door, I understand
D MajorD (softly)
So this is me swallowing my pride
E minorEm
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
D MajorD (normal speed)
And I go back to December
D MajorD
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
E minorEm
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
D MajorD
I go back to December
E minorEm
Turn around and make it alright
E minorEm
I go back to December turn around and change my own mind
G+G
I go back to December all the time
G+G
All the time
G+G
