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
Cause the last time you saw me
          D                          G
Is still burned in the back of your mind
             Bm          A                  G
You gave me roses and I left them there to die

Chorus:
     D
So this is me swallowing my pride,
             F#m
standing in front of you
                           G
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 I'd realized what I had when you were mine
      D
I go back to December,
 A                      G
turn around and make it alright
     Bm               A
I go back to December all the time

These days, I haven't been sleeping
Staying up, playing back myself leaving
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side and
Realized I loved you in the fall

And when the cold came, the dark days
When fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love and all
I gave you was goodbye

Chorus:
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you,
saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December,
turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time

             Bm                 G
I miss your tan skin and your sweet smile
    D              A
So good to me, so right
             Bm
And how you held me in your
G                    D
arms that September night
                   A            Bm
The first time you ever saw me cry
              Bm
Maybe this is wishful thinking
G
Probably mindless dreaming
D                                            A
But 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

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