[Verse]
D                                  
I'm so glad you made time to see me
Bm7                           G     
How's life Tell me how's your family
                         D     A
I haven't seen them in a while ■
D                                
You've been good busier than ever
Bm7                               
We small talk work and the weather
G                           D   A
Your guard is up and I know why ■
Bm7              A              
Because the last time you saw me
         D                          G   
Is still burned in the back of your mind
            Bm7   Bm                       G  
You gave me roses and I left them there to die


[Chorus]
   D                             
So this is me swallowin' my pride
            F#m                                    G    
Standin' in front of you sayin' I'm sorry for that night
         D                A           
And I go back to December all the time
   D                                              
It turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missin' you
F#m                                  G            
Wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine
     D                A                       G      
I go back to December turn around and make it alright
     Bm               A           
I go back to December all the time

[Verse]
D                                 
These days I haven't been sleepin'
Bm                      Bm7           
Stayin' up playin' back myself leavin'
G                                      D    A
When your birthday passed and I didn't call ■
       D                                         
Then I think about summer all the beautiful times
  Bm                                            
I watched you laughin' from the passenger's side
    G                           Asus4
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                    A              G      
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye


[Chorus]
   D                             
So this is me swallowin' my pride
            F#m                                    G    
Standin' in front of you sayin' I'm sorry for that night
         D                A           
And I go back to December all the time
   D                                              
It turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missin' you
F#m                                  G            
Wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine
     D                A                         G       
I go back to December turn around and change my own mind
     Bm               A           
I go back to December all the time

[Bridge]
            Bm            G          
I miss your tan skin your sweet smile
D                A    
So good to me so right
            Bm              G                   D    
And how you held me in your arms that September night
                   A           Bm 
The first time you ever saw me cry
                               G
Maybe this is wishful thinkin' ■
G                         
Probably mindless dreamin'
D                                          A    
But if we 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


[Chorus]
          Bm               A      G         
So if the chain is on your door I understand
    D                             
But this is me swallowin' my pride
            F#m                                    G    
Standin' in front of you sayin' I'm sorry for that night
         D       A7      
And I go back to December
   D                                              
It turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missin' you
F#m                                  G            
Wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine
     D                A                       G      
I go back to December turn around and make it alright
     Bm               A                         G       
I go back to December turn around and change my own mind
     Bm               A       D   
I go back to December all the time
