[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 weather.
[G] 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 there [G] to die.
[D] So 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 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] when you were mine.
I [D] go back to December, [A].
turn around and make it [G] all alright .
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.
I wake up leaving [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 in [D] the fall.
[A] .
[Bm] And then the cold [A] came, the dark days, [D] one 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 .
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 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 tits, your [G].
sweet smile, [D] so good to me, [A] so right.
And now [Bm] you held me in [G] your 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.
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love [A] you right.
[D] I [A] [Bm] 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] It 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 go [Bm] back to December [A].
all the [D] time .
[Bm] [G] .
All [D] the time .
[Bm] [G] .
