[Intro]
C (C) Am F C (C) Am F
[Verse]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental]
C (C) Am F C (C) Am F
[Verse]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental]
C (C) Am F C (C) F
[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
Maybe this is wishful thinking
F
Probably mindless dreaming
C G
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right
Am G F
I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't
Am G F
So if the chain is on your door, I understand
[Chorus]
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
Am G
I go back to December all the time
[Outro]
C (C) Am F C (C) Am F
All the time
