[D]
[Bm] [G]
[D] I'm so glad you made time to see me.
How's life?
Tell me how's your [G] family?
I haven't seen them 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 know why.
[A]
[Bm] Because the last time [A] you saw me, you [D] still burned in the back of [G] your mind.
You [Bm] gave me roses, and 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 this, and [F#m] you wish you'd not 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]
all the [D] time.
[D]
[Bm] [G]
[Bm] [G]
[D] These days, I haven't been sleeping, [Bm] staying up, playing back, myself 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 [D] enough for [A] all.
[Bm] And then the cold came, [A] the dark days, [D] and I feel crept into [G] my mind.
You [Bm] gave me all your love, 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 this, and [F#m] you wish you'd not 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]
I miss your dancing, your sweet smile, [D] so good to me, so [A]
right.
And now [Bm] you held me in your arms that September [D] night, the first time [A] you ever saw [Bm] me cry.
So maybe this is wishful thinking, probably mindless [D] dreaming.
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love [A] you right.
[D]
[A] [Bm] I go back in time and [A] change it, but [G] I can't.
So [Bm] if the chain is on your [A] door, I [D] understand.
But 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 this, and [F#m] you wish you'd not realized what I had [G] when you were mine.
