G 2x

D
I'm so glad you made time to see me
G
How's life, tell me how's your family
D
I haven't seen them in a while
D
You've been good, busier than ever
G

We small talk, work and the weather
D
Your guard is up, and I know why
D
Because the last time you saw me is still burned in the back of you mind
            D
You gave me roses, and I left them there to die
D
So this is me swallowing my pride
            Em
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
         D
And I go back to December all the time
   D
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Em
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
         D
And I go back to December
                        Em
Turn around and make it alright
     G
I go back to December all the time

G 2x

D
These days, I haven't been sleeping
G
Staying up playing back myself leaving
          D
When your birthday passed, and I didn't call
      D
And I think about summer all the beautiful times
  G
I watched you laughing from the passenger side and
D
Realized I loved you in the fall
D
And then the cold came, and dark days when fear crept into my mind
            D
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye
   D
So this is me swallowing my pride
            Em
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
         D
And I go back to December all the time
   D
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Em
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
         D
And I go back to December
                          Em
Turn around and change my own mind
     G
I go back to December all the time

G 2x
            G
I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile
   D
So good to me, so right
            D
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 (softly)
So this is me swallowing my pride
            Em
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
         D (normal speed)
And I go back to December
   D
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Em
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
D
I go back to December
                        Em
Turn around and make it alright
     Em
I go back to December turn around and change my own mind
     G
I go back to December all the time

G

All the time
