Verse:
C
I'm so glad you made the time to see me
Am
How's life, tell me how's your family
F C G
I haven't seen them in a while
C
You've been good, busier than ever
Am
We small talk, work and the weather
F C G
You're guard is up, and I know why
Pre-Chorus:
Am G
Because the last time you saw me
C F
It's still burned in the back of your mind
Am G F
You gave me roses and I left them there to die
Chorus:
C
So this is me swallowing my pride
G
Standing in front of you saying
F
"I'm sorry for that night" and I go
C G
Back to December all the time
C
It turns out freedom made, Nothing but missing you
G
Wishing I'd realized what I had
F
When you were mine
C
I'd go back to December,
G F
Turn around and make it all right
Am G
I go back to December all the time
C Am F x2
Verse:
C
These days I haven't been sleeping
Am
Stayin' up playing back myself leaving
F C G
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
C
Then I think about summer all the beautiful times
Am
I watch you laughing from the passenger side
F C G
And realized I loved you in the fall
Pre-Chorus:
Am G
And then the cold came the dark days
C F
When fear crept into my mind
Am
You gave me all your love and
G F
All I gave you was goodbye
Chorus:
C
So this is me swallowing my pride
G
Standing in front of you saying
F
"I'm sorry for that night" and I go
C G
Back to December all the time
C
It turns out freedom made, Nothing but missing you
G
Wishing I'd realized what I had
F
When you were mine
C
I'd go back to December,
G F
Turn around and make it all right
Am G
I go back to December all the time
C Am F x2
Bridge:
Am F
I miss your tan skin your sweet smile
C G
So good to me, so right
Am F
And how you held me in your arms
C
That September night
G Am
The first time you ever saw me cry
F
Maybe this is wishful thinking
C
Probably mindless dreaming
G
If you loved again I swear I'd love you right
Am G F
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
Am G F
So if the chain is on your door I understand
Chorus:
C
But this is me swallowing my pride
G
Standing in front of you saying
F
"I'm sorry for that night" and I go
C G
Back to December...
C
It turns out freedom made, Nothing but missing you
Am
Wishing I'd realized what I had
F
When you were mine
C
I'd go back to December
G F
Turn around and make it all right
C
I'd go back to December
G F
Turn around and change my own mind
C G
I go back to December all the time
C Am F x2
