D Bm G (2x)
D                                       
 I’m so glad you made the time to see me
Bm                                     
  How’s life, tell me how’s your family
G                         D     A
 I haven’t seen them in a  while 
D                                  
 You’ve been good, busier than ever
Bm                                   
  We small talk, work and the weather
G                               D   A
 You’re guard is up, and I know  why 
Bm                      A          
  Because the last time  you saw me
           D                           G    
It’s still  burned in the back of your  mind
            Bm            A                   G   
You gave me   roses and I  left them there to  die
   D                              
So  this is me swallowing my pride
            F#m                   
Standing in    front of you saying
                   G              
I’m sorry for that  night and I go
D                 A            
 Back to December  all the time
   D                       
It  turns out freedom ain’t
D                       
 Nothing but missing you
F#m                               
   Wishing I’d realized what I had
     G             
When  you were mine
       D                 
I’d go  back to December,
A                            G     
 Turn around and make it all  right
         Bm             A            
I go back   to December  all the time
            
D Bm G (x 2)
D                                  
 These days I haven’t been sleeping
Bm                                      
  Stayin’ up playing back myself leaving
G                                       D    A
 When your birthday passed and I didn’t  call 
       D                                          
Then I  think about summer all the beautiful times
Bm                                            
  I watch you laughing from the passenger side
G                                D    A
 And realized I loved you in the  fall 
Bm                       A             
  And then the cold came  the dark days
     D                   G    
When  fear crept into my  mind
            Bm                 
You gave me   all your love and
      A            G        
All I  gave you was  goodbye
   D                              
So  this is me swallowing my pride
            F#m                   
Standing in    front of you saying
                   G              
I’m sorry for that  night and I go
D                 A            
 Back to December  all the time
   D                       
It  turns out freedom ain’t
D                       
 Nothing but missing you
F#m                               
   Wishing I’d realized what I had
     G             
When  you were mine
       D                 
I’d go  back to December,
A                          G        
 Turn around and change my  own mind
     Bm                 A            
I go   back to December  all the time
           
D Bm G (2x)
            Bm              G           
I miss your   tan skin your  sweet smile
   D               A     
So  good to me, so  right
            Bm                G    
And how you   held me in your  arms
               D     
That September  night
                   A               Bm
The first time you  ever saw me cry  
                              G
Maybe this is wishful thinking 
                          D
Probably mindless dreaming 
D                                             A
 If you loved again I swear I’d love you right 
           Bm             A                G     
I’d go back   in time and  change it but I  can’t
          Bm                 A                 G
So if the   chain is on your  door I understand 
    D                              
But  this is me swallowing my pride
            F#m                   
Standing in    front of you saying
                   G              
I’m sorry for that  night and I go
D                A
 Back to December 
   D                       
It  turns out freedom ain’t
D                       
 Nothing but missing you
F#m                               
   Wishing I’d realized what I had
     G             
When  you were mine
       D                
I’d go  back to December
A                            G     
 Turn around and make it all  right
       D                
I’d go  back to December
A                          G        
 Turn around and change my  own mind
         Bm             A            
I go back   to December  all the time
D Bm G        D    Bm G
      All the  time
