|D |Bm |
I'm so glad you made time to see me, how's life? Tell me, how's your family?
|G |D A |
I haven't seen them in a while
|D |Bm |
You've been good, busier than ever, small talk, work and the weather
|G |D A |
Your guard is up and I know why
|Bm A |D G |
Because the last time you saw me will still burn in the back of your mind
|Bm A |G |
You gave me roses and I left them there to die
|D |F#m |
So this is me swallowing my pride, standing in front of you
|G |D A |
saying I'm sorry for that night and I go back to December all the time
|D |F#m |
It turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you, wishing I'd realized what I had when
|G |D A |
you were mine, I go back to December, turn around and make it
|G |Bm A |
allright, I go back to December all the time
|D |Bm 2nG |D |Bm 2nG |
|D |Bm |
These days I haven't been sleeping, staying up playing back myself leaving
|G |D A |
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
|D |Bm |
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times, I watched you laughing from the passenger
|G |D A |
side and, realized I loved you in the fall
|Bm A |D G |
Then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind
|Bm A |G |
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye
|D |F#m |
So this is me swallowing my pride, standing in front of you
|G |D A |
saying I'm sorry for that night and I go back to December all the time
|D |F#m |
It turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you, wishing I'd realized what I had when
|G |D A |
you were mine, I go back to December, turn around and change my
|G |Bm A |
own mind, I go back to December all the time
|D |Bm 2nG |D |Bm 2nG |
|Bm G |D A |
I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile so good to me, so right
|Bm G |D A |
And how you held me in your arms that September night, the first time you ever saw me
|Bm |G |
cry, maybe this is wishful thinking, probably mindless dreaming
|D |A |
If we loved again I swear I'd love you right
|Bm A |G |Bm A |G |
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't, so if the chain is on your door, I understand
|D |F#m |
This is me swallowing my pride, standing in front of you
|G |D A |
saying I'm sorry for that night and I go back to December
|D |F#m |
It turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you, wishing I'd realized what I had when
|G |D A |
you were mine, I go back to December, turn around and make it
|G |Bm A |
alright, I go back to December, turn around and change my
|G |Bm A |
own mind, I go back to December all the time
|D |Bm 2nG |D |Bm 2nG |
All the time
