[G] [D]
[Bm] [G]
[D]
[Bm] [G]
[D] I'm so glad you made time to see [Bm] me.
How's life?
Tell me how's your [G] family?
I haven't seen them [D] in a while
[A]
[D] You've been good, busier than [Bm] ever
We small talk, work in the [G] weather
Your guard is up and I [D]
know why
[A]
[Bm] Because the last [A] time you saw me you [D] still burned in the back of [G] your mind
You [Bm] gave me roses and [A] I left them never [G] to die
So
[D] this is me swallowing my pride
Standing [F#m] in front of you saying I'm sorry for that [G] night
Then I [D] go gone till December [A] on the time
[D] Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing [F#m] you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when [G] you were mine
I [D] go back to December, [A] turn around and make [G] it all right
I [Bm] go back to December [A] all the
[D] time
[Bm] [G]
[D]
[Bm] [G]
[D] These days I haven't been sleeping
[Bm] Staying up, playing back myself
[G] When your birthday passed and I [D] didn't call
[A]
[D] Then I think about summer, all the beautiful [Bm] times
I watched you laughing from the passenger [G] side
And realized I love you [D] enough
[A]
[Bm] And then the cold [A] came, the dark days
[D] When fear crept into [G] my mind
You [Bm] gave me all your love, [A] all I gave you [G] was goodbye
[D] So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing [F#m] in front of you saying I'm sorry for that [G] night
Then I [D] go back to December [A] on the time
[D] Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing [F#m] you
Wishing I'd realized what I had [G] when you were mine
I [D] go back to December, [A] turn around and change [G] my own mind
I [Bm] go back to December [A] all the [D] time
[Bm] [G]
[D]
[Bm] [G] I missed [Bm] your dance, your [G] sweet smile
[D] So good to me, [A] so right
And now [Bm] you held me in [G] your arms at September [D] night
The first time [A] you ever saw [Bm] me fall
Maybe this is wishful [G]
thinking
Probably my last [D] dreaming
But if we loved again, I still would love [A] you always
[Bm] I go back in time [A] and change it, but [G] I can't
So [Bm]
if the chain is on your [A] door, I
[G] understand
But
[D] this is me swallowing my pride
Standing [F#m] in front of you saying I'm sorry for that [G] night
And I [D] go back to [A] December
[D] Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing [F#m] you
Wishing I'd realized what I had [G] when you were mine
I [D] go back to December, [A] turn around and make [G] it all right
I [Bm] go back to December, [A] turn around and change [G] my own mind
I [Bm] go back to December [A] all the
[D] time
All
[Bm] [G]
[D] the time
