I love this song. Taylor does an original and an acoustic version. This is for either.
No capo
Intro: D Bm G x2
D
I'm so glad you made time to see me
Bm
How's life, tell me how's your family
G D A
I haven't seen them in a while
D
You've been good, busier than ever
Bm
We small talk, work and the weather
G D A
Your guard is up and I know why
Bm A D G
Cause the last time, you saw me is still burned in the back of your mind
Bm A G (once)
You gave me roses, and I left them there to die
D
So this is me swallowing my pride,
F#m G
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night,
D A
And I go back to December all the time.
D
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
F#m G
Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine.
D A G
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
Bm A
I go back to December all the time.
D Bm G x2
D
These days I haven't been sleeping
Bm
Staying up playing back myself leaving,
G D A
When your birthday passed and I didn't call.
D
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
Bm
I watched you laughing from the passenger side
G D A
Realized that 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
So this is me swallowing my pride,
F#m G
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night.
D A
And I go back to December all the time.
D
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
F#m G
Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine.
D A G
I'd go back to December turn around and change my own mind.
Bm A
I go back to December all the time
D Bm G x2
Bm G D A
I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile, so good to me, so right
Bm G D
And how you held me in your arms that September night,
A
The first time you ever saw me cry.
Bm
Maybe this is wishful thinking,
G
Probably mindless dreaming
D A
If we loved again I swear I'd love you right.
Bm A G
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
Bm A G
So if the chain is on your door, I understand.
D
But this is me swallowing my pride,
F#m G
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night,
D A
And I go back to December.
D
Turns out freedom aint nothing but missing you,
F#m G
Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine.
D A G
I'd go back to December turn around and make it alright.
D A G
I'd go back to December turn around and change my own mind.
D A
I go back to December all the time.
D Bm G
