Back To December (Ver2)

No capo! Pretty song, and I think it's fairly close! Try the strumming pattern DDDUUDDDU Key: *One downward strum ***Three quick downward strums 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 G
