[Eb]
[Cm] [Ab]
[Eb]
[Ab]
[Eb] I'm so glad you made time to see [Cm] me
How's life?
Tell me, how's your family?
[Ab] I haven't seen them [Eb] in a while
[Bb]
[Eb] You've been good, busier than [Cm] ever
We small talk, work in the [Ab] weather
Your guard is up, and I [Eb] know why
[Bb]
[Cm] Because the last [Bb] time you saw me
You [Eb] still burned in the back of [Ab] your mind
You [Cm] gave me roses, and [Bb] I left them there [Ab] to die
So [Eb] this is me swallowing my pride
Standing [Gm] in front of you saying
I'm sorry for that [Ab] night
And I [Eb] go back to December [Bb] all the time
[Eb] It turns out freedom ain't nothing but a miss
And [Gm] you wish you'd not realized what I had [Ab] when you were mine
And I [Eb] go back to December, [Bb] turn around and make it [Ab] alright
And I [Cm] go back to December [Bb] all the [Eb] times
[Cm] [Ab]
[Eb]
[Cm] [Ab]
[Eb] These days I haven't been sleeping
[Cm] Staying up, playing back, myself leaving
[Ab] When your birthday passed and I [Eb] didn't call
[Bb]
[Eb] And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
[Cm] I watched you laughing from your passenger [Ab] side
Realized I loved you [Eb] enough
[Bb]
[Cm] And in the cold [Bb] games, the dark days
[Eb] One fear crept into [Ab] my mind
You [Cm] gave me all you had, [Bb] all I gave you was [Ab] goodbye
[Eb] So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing [Gm] in front of you saying
I'm sorry for that [Ab] night
And [Eb] I go back to December [Bb] all the time
[Eb] It turns out freedom ain't nothing but a miss
And [Gm] you wish you'd not realized what I had [Ab] when you were mine
And I [Eb] go back to December, [Bb] turn around and change [Ab] my own mind
And I [Cm] go back to December [Bb] all the [Eb] times
[Cm] [Ab]
[Eb]
[Cm] [Ab]
I'm lost, [Cm] you're dead, in [Ab] your sweet smile
[Eb] So cold to me, so [Bb] right
And now [Cm] you held me in your [Ab] arms that September [Eb] night
The first time [Bb] you ever saw [Cm] me cry
Maybe this is wishful [Ab] thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
[Eb] If we loved again, I swear I'd love [Bb] you right
[Eb]
[Bb] [Cm] I'd go back in time [Bb] and change it, but [Ab] I can't
So [Cm] it's a change on your [Dm] door, I [Ab] understand
This [Eb] is me swallowing my pride
Standing [Gm] in front of you saying
I'm sorry for that [Ab] night
And I [Eb] go back to December
[Bb]
[Eb] It turns out freedom ain't nothing but a miss
[Gm] And you wish you'd not realized what I had [Ab] when you were mine
And I [Eb] go back to December, [Bb] turn around and make [Ab] it all right
And [Eb] I [Cm] go back to December, [Bb] turn around and change [Ab] my own mind
And [Cm] I go back to December [Bb] all the [Eb] times
[Cm] [Ab]
All [Eb] the times
