Intro: C F
C Am
I'm so glad you made time to see me
F
How's life? Tell me, how's your family?
C G
I haven't seen them in a whi...ile
C Am
You've been good; busier than ever
F
Small talk, work and the weather
C G
Your guard is up and I know why
Am G
Because the last time you saw me
C F
Still burns in the back of your mind
Am G F
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
F
I'm sorry for that night
C G
And I go back to December all the time,
C
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' you
Em G
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
C G
And I go back to December, turn around
F
And make it all right
C G C F C F
I go back to December all the time
C
These days I haven't been sleepin?,
Am
Stayin' up playing back myself leavin?,
F
When your birthday passed
C G C
And I didn't ca...all, then I think about summer,
Am
All the beautiful times,
F
I watched you laughin' from the passenger side
C G
And realized I loved you in the fa....ll
Am F
And then the cold came,
C F
With the dark days when the fear crept into my mind
Am
You gave me all your love
G F
And all I gave you was goodbye
C
So this is me swallowing my pride,
Em
Standing in front of you saying
F
I'm sorry for that night
C G
And I go back to December all the time,
C
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' you
Em F
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
C G
And I go back to December, turn around
F
And change my own mind
C G
I go back to December all the time
( C F )
