Back to December

1. [D] I'm so glad you made time to see me.
[Bm] How's life? Tell me how's your family?
[G] I haven't seen them in a [D] while [A]
[D] You've been good, busier than ever,
[Bm] We small talk, work and the weather,
[G] Your guard is up and I know [D] why [A]
[Bm] Because the last time [A] you saw me
Is still [D] burned in the back of your [G] mind.
You gave me [Bm] roses and I [A] left them there to [G] die

Chorus: So [D] this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in [F#m] front of you saying "I'm sorry for that [G] night"
And I go [D] back to December [A] all the time.
It [D] turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
[F#m] Wishing I'd realized what I had when [G] you were mine
I'd go [D] back to December, [A] turn around and make it all [G] right
I go [Bm] back to December [A] all the time

2. [D] These days I haven't been sleeping,
[Bm] Staying up, playing back myself leavin'.
[G] When your birthday passed and I didn't [D] call [A]
And I [D] think about summer, all the beautiful times,
[Bm] I watched you laughing from the passenger side.
[G] Realized that I loved you in the [D] fall [A]
[Bm] And then the cold came, [A] the dark days
When [D] fear crept into my [G] mind
You gave me [Bm] all your love and all I [A] gave you was [G] "Goodbye"

Chorus: So [D] this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in [F#m] front of you saying "I'm sorry for that [G] night"
And I go [D] back to December [A] all the time.
It [D] turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
[F#m] Wishing I'd realized what I had when [G] you were mine
I'd go [D] back to December, [A] turn around and change my own [G] mind
I go [Bm] back to December [A] all the time

* I miss your [Bm] tanned skin, your [G] sweet smile, so [D] good to me, so [A] right
And how you [Bm] held me in your [G] arms that September [D] night
The first time you [A] ever saw me [Bm] cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking [G] probably mindless dreaming [D]
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you [A] right
I'd go [Bm] back in time and [A] change it but I [G] can't.
So if the [Bm] chain is on your [A] door I unders-[G] tand.

Chorus: But [D] this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in [F#m] front of you saying "I'm sorry for that [G] night"
And I go [D] back to December [A]
It [D] turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
[F#m] Wishing I'd realized what I had when [G] you were mine.
I'd go [D] back to December, [A] turn around and make it all [G] right.
I'd go [Bm] back to December, [A] turn around and change my [G] own mind

* I go [Bm] back to December [A] all the time.
[D][Bm][G] All the [D] time [Bm][G]
