 D                Bm
I'm so glad you made time to see me
                    G
How's life? Tell me, how's your family?
              D  A
I haven't seen them in a whi...ile
 D                Bm
You've been good; busier than ever
               G
Small talk, work and the weather
               D A
Your guard is up and I know why
 Bm         A
Because the last time you saw me
 D               G
Still burns in the back of your mind
       Bm     A         G
You gave me roses and I left them there to die

 D
So this is me swallowing my pride,
      Bm
Standing in front of you saying
          G
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 missin' you
 Bm                      G
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
     D         A
And I go back to December, turn around
       G
And make it all right
    D        A      Bm
I go back to December all the time

 D
These days I haven't been sleepin?,
 Bm
Stayin' up playing back myself leavin?,
 G
When your birthday passed
        D A  D
And I didn't ca...all, then I think about summer,
           Bm
All the beautiful times,
                       G
I watched you laughin' from the passenger side
                 D A1
And realized I loved you in the fa....ll
Bm           A
And then the cold came,
           D              G
With the dark days when the fear crept into my mind
       Bm
You gave me all your love
      A        G
And all I gave you was goodbye

 D
So this is me swallowing my pride,
      Bm
Standing in front of you saying
           G
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 missin' you
 Bm                       G
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
     D         A
And I go back to December, turn around
        G
And change my own mind
   D        A      D
I go back to December all the time

G       D       A
I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile,
   D       A
So good to me, so right
        Bm      G
And how you held me in your arms
          D
That September night;
          A       Bm
The first time you ever saw me cry
               G
Maybe this is wishful thinking
            D
Probably mindless dreaming
            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,
        Bm
Standing in front of you saying
           G
I'm sorry for that night
     D        A
And I go back to December,
D                      Bm
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' you
                     G
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
  D          A
I go back to December, turn around
      G
And make it all right
  D          A
I go back to December, turn around
        G
And change my own mind
  D          A
I go back to December all the time
