Intro: C (C) Am F C (C) Am F 



C 
I'm so glad you made time to see me 
Am 
How's life, tell me how's your family 
F                        C   G 
I haven't seem them in a while 
C 
You've been good, busier than ever 
Am 
We small talk, work and the weather 
F                           C G 
Your guard is up and I know why 

Am                   G 
Because the last time you saw me 
            C                        F 
Is still burned in the back of your mind 
              Am          G                 F 
You gave me roses and I left them there to die 
     C 
So this is me swallowing my pride 
               Em                                  F 
Standing in front of you saying 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 missing you 
Em                                   F 
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine 
      C                 G                       F 
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright 
     Am                G 
I go back to December all the time 

C (C) Am F C (C) Am F 

C 
These days I haven't been sleeping 
Am 
Staying up playing back myself leaving 
F                                      C  G 
When your birthday passed and I didn't call 
        C 
Then I think about summer, all the beautiful times 
   Am 
I watched you laughing from the passenger side 
     F                          G 
And realized I loved you in the fall 
Am                     G 
And then the cold came,the dark days 
     C                  F 
When fear crept into my mind 
            Am                      G           F 
You gave me all your love And all I gave you was goodbye 

    C 
So this is me swallowing my pride 
               Em                                  F 
Standing in front of you saying 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 missing you 
Em                                   F 
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine 
      C                 G                       F 
I go back to December, turn around and Change my own mind 
     Am                G 
I go back to December all the time

(Bridge) 
            Am                F 
I miss your tan skin and your sweet smile 
   C              G 
So good to me, so right 
            Am              F                   C 
And how you held me in your arms that September night 
                   G 
The first time you ever saw me cry 
Am Am Am 
        Maybe this is wishful thinking 
F F F 
        Probably mindless dreaming 
C                                           G 
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right 
       Am                F             G 
I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't 
          Am               F          G 
So if the chain is on your door, I understand 

C 
But this is me swallowing my pride 
               Em                                  F 
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night 
           C             G 
And I go back to December 
     C 
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you 
Em                                   F 
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine 
      C                 G                       F 
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright 
     Am                 G                        F 
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind

I go back to December all the time
