[Verse 1]
D I'm so glad you made time to see me.
Bm How's life? Tell me how's your family,

D You've been good, busier than ever.
Bm We small talk. Work and the weather.
G Your guard is up and I know why. D A
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm Because the last timeA you saw me,
still Dburned in the back of your Gmind.
You gave me Bmroses and I Aleft them there to diGe.
[Chorus]
So Dthis is me swallowing my pride,
standing in F#mfront of you saying: "I'm sorry for that night". G
And I go Dback to December allA the time.
It Dturns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
F#mwishing I'd realized what I had when youG were mine.
And I'd go Dback to December, turnA around and make it allG right.
I go Bmback to December allA the time.

[Verse 2]
D These days I haven't been sleeping.
BmStaying up, playing back myself leavin'.
G When your birthday passed and I didn't call. D A
And I Dthink about summer, all the beautiful times.
I Bmwatched you laughing from the passenger side,
andG realized I loved you in the fall. D A
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm And then the cold came,A the dark days when Dfear crept into my Gmind.
You gave me Bmall your love and all I Agave you wasG goodbye.
[Chorus]
So Dthis is me swallowing my pride,
standing in F#mfront of you saying: "I'm sorry for that night". G
And I go Dback to December allA the time.
It Dturns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,

D Bm G D Bm G I miss your Bmtanned skin, your Gsweet smile, so Dgood to me, so Aright.
And how you heldBm me in your armsG that September night, D
the first time you Aever saw me cry. Bm
[Break]
Maybe this is wishful thinking,
G probably mindless dreaming,
D But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you D7Mright,
I'd go Bmback in time and changeA it, but I can't.
So if the chain is on your door I understand.
[Chorus]
But Dthis is me swallowing my pride,
standing in F#mfront of you saying I'm sorry for that night. G
And I go Bmback to December. A
It Dturns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
Awishing I'd realize what I had when youG were mine.
I'd go Dback to December, turnA around and make it allG right.
I'd go Bmback to December, turnA around and change my ownG mind.
I go Bmback to December allA the time.
