[N] [D]
[Bm] [G]
[D]
[Bm] [G]
[D] I'm so glad you made time to see [Bm] me.
How's life?
[F#m] Tell me how's your family?
[G] I haven't seen them in [D] a while.
[A]
[D] You've been better, busier than ever.
[Bm] With small talk, [C#] work and the weather.
[G] Your guard is up and I know [D] why.
[A]
[Bm] Because the last [A] time you saw me, you [D] stood burning in the back of [G] your mind.
You [Bm] gave me roses and [A] I left them in [G] the dark.
[D] So this is me swallowing my pride, standing [F#m] in front of you saying I'm sorry for your bad [G] life.
And I [D] broke my two December [A] all the time.
[D] It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing [F#m] you, wishing I'd realized what I had [G] in my life.
I'd [D] go back to December [A] to try to make it [G] all right.
I'd [Bm] go back to December [A] all the time.
[D]
[Bm] [G]
[D]
[Bm] [G]
[D] These days I haven't been sleeping, [Bm] staying up, praying back my stuff.
But baby, [G] when your birthday passed and I [D] didn't call.
[A]
[D] Then I think about summer, all the beautiful times.
[Bm] I watched you laughing from the passenger [G] side and realized I loved you [A] enough.
[Bm] And in the [A] cold pain, your dark days, [D] my fear crept into [G] my mind.
You [Bm] gave me all your love, [A] all I gave you was [G] goodbye.
[D] So this is me swallowing my pride, standing [F#m] in front of you saying I'm sorry for your bad [G] life.
And I [D] broke my two December [A] all the time.
[D] It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing [F#m] you, wishing I'd realized what I had [G] in my life.
I'd [D] go back to December, [A] turn around and change [G] my own mind.
I'd [Bm] go back to December [A] all the [D] time.
[Bm] [G]
[D]
[Bm] [G] I knew it was [Bm] pure dancing, [G] your sweet smile, [D] so good to me, so [A] right.
And now [Bm] you held me in your [G] arms that September [D] night, the first time [A] you ever saw [Bm] me cry.
Maybe this is wishful [G] thinking, probably mindless [D] dreaming.
It would be fun to give this world a [A] new name.
I'd [Bm] go back in time [A] and change it, but [G] I can't.
So [Bm] it's a change on your [A] door, I [G] understand.
[D] This is me swallowing my pride, [F#m] standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for bad [G] life.
And I [D] broke my two [A] December all [D] the time.
And I broke my two December all the time.
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing [F#m] you, wishing I'd realized what I had [G] in my life.
I'd [D] go back to December, [A] turn around and make it [G] all right.
I'd [Bm] go back to December, [A] turn around and change [G] my own mind.
And I [Bm] broke my two [A] December all the [D] time.
[Bm] [G]
All the [D] time.
