[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 [A] while.
[D] You've been good, busier than [Bm] ever.
We [F#] small talk, work, and the [G] weather.
Your guard is up, and [D] I know why.
[A]
[Bm] Because the [A] last time you saw me, [D] you still burned in the back [G] of your mind.
You [Bm] gave me roses, [A] and I left them [G] there to die.
[D] So this is me swallowing my pride, standing [F#m] in front of you, saying I'm sorry for [G] that night.
And I [D] go back to [A] December all the [D] time.
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing [F#m] you, wishing I'd realize what I [G] had when you were mine.
I [D] go back to [A] December, turn around and make [G] it all right.
I [Bm] go back to [A] December all the [D] time.
[Bm] [G]
[D]
[Bm] [G]
[D] These days, I haven't been sleeping, staying up, playing back my stuff.
I remember the day that we [G] met when your birthday passed and I [D] didn't call.
[A]
[D] And I think about summer, all the beautiful [Bm] times.
I watched you laughing from the passenger [G] side and realized I loved you in [D] the fall.
[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, and [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 [G] that night.
And I [D] go back to December [A] all the time.
[D] It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing [F#m] you, wishing I'd realize what I [G] had when you were mine.
I [D] go back to December, [A] turn around and change [G] my own mind.
I [Bm] go back to [A] December all the
[D] time.
[Bm] [G]
[D]
[Bm] [G] Miss [Bm] your dancing, [G] your sweet smiles, [D] oh good to meet, [A] so right.
And how [Bm] you held me in your [G] arms that September [D] night, the first time [A] you ever saw [Bm] me cry.
[D] Maybe this is wishful [G]
thinking, [D] probably mindless dreaming.
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love [A] you right.
[D] [A]
[Bm] I go back in time [A] and change it, but [G] I can't.
[Bm] So if the chain is on your [A] door, I
[D] understand.
But 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]
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing [F#m] you, wishing I'd realize what I had [G] when you were mine.
[D] I go back to December, [A] turn around and make it [G] alright.
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.
[Bm] [G] [D] All the time.
