(Intro.)
|(D) / / / |(D)(Em)(D/F#)(A)(D) / |

(Verse 1)
(D) I'm so glad you made time to see me
(Bm) How's life? Tell me, how's your family?
(G) I haven't seen them in a (D)while (A)
(D) You've been good, busier than ever
(Bm) We small talk, work and the weather
(G) Your guard is up and I know (D)why (A)

(Pre-Chorus)
(D) Because the last time (A/C#) you saw me
Is still (D)burned in the back of your (G)mind
I gave you (D)roses and you (A/C#)left them there to (G)die

(Chorus)
So (D)this is me swallowing my pride
(A/C#)Standin' in front of you sayin', "I'm sorry for that (G)night"
And I go (D)back to December (A)all the time
It (D)turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' you
(A/C#)Wishin' I'd realized what I had when (G)you were mine
I go (D)back to December, (A/C#)turn around and make it al-(G)-right
I go (D)back to December (A)all the time (D) / / / (Bm) /(G)  /

(Verse 2)
(D) These days, I haven't been sleeping
(Bm)Stayin' up, playin' back myself leavin'
(G) When your birthday passed and I didn't (D)call (A)
Then I (D)think about summer, all the beautiful times
(Bm) I watched you laughing from the passenger side
(G) And realized I loved you in the (D)fall (A)

(Pre-Chorus)
(D) And then the cold came, (D) the dark days
When (D)fear crept into my (G)mind
You gave me (Bm)all your love and all I (A/C#)gave you was
(G) Goodbye (A)

(Chorus)
So (D)this is me swallowing my pride
Standin' in (A/C#)front of you, sayin', "I'm sorry for that (G)night"
And I go (D)back to December (A)all the time
It (D)turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' you
(A)Wishin' I'd realized what I had when (G)you were mine
I go (Bm)back to December, (A/C#)turn around and change my (G)own mind
I go (Bm)back to December (A)all the time (D) / / / (Bm) /(G)

(Bridge)
I miss your (Bm)tanned skin, your (G)sweet smile
So (D)good to me, so (A)right
And how I (Bm)held you in my (G)arms that September night
(D) The first time I ever (A/C#)saw you (G)cry
Maybe this is (A/C#)wishful thinkinf, (Bm) probably mindless dreaming
(A) But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right
I'd go (Bm)back in time and (A)change it, but I (G)can't
So, if the (Bm)chain is on your (A)door, I under-(G)-stand

(Chorus)
But (D)this is me swallowing my pride
Standin' in (A/C#)front of you, sayin', "I'm sorry for that (G)night"
And I go (D)back to December (A)
It (D)turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' you
(A/C#)Wishin' I'd realized what I had when (G)you were mine
I go (D)back to December, (A/C#)turn around and make it al-(G)-right
I go (D)back to December, (A)turn around and change my (G)own mind
I go (D)back to December (A)all the time
