Capo 2
[Intro]
  C      AmF
|      |     | x2
[Verse 1]
C
   I'm so glad you made 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
   Your guard is up and I know why
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                    G
Because the last time  you saw me
         C                          F
Is still burned in the back of your mind
            Am          G                   F
You gave me roses and I left them there to die
[Chorus]
   C                                           Em
So this is me swallowing my pride, standing in front of you
                           F
Saying I'm sorry for that night
         C                 G
And I go back to December all the time
   C
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Em                                    F
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
     C                  G                       F
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
     Am               G
I go back to December all the time
  C      AmF
|      |     | x2
[Verse 2]
C
  These days I haven't been sleeping
Am
Staying 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 watched 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
          G            F
and all I gave you was   goodbye
[Chorus]
   C                                           Em
So this is me swallowing my pride, standing in front of you
                           F
Saying I'm sorry for that night
         C                 G
And I go back to December all the time
   C
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Em                                    F
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
     C                  G                         F
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
     Am                G
I go back to December all the time
[Guitar Solo]
  C      AmF
|      |     | x2
[Bridge]
            Am                F
I miss your tan skin and your sweet smile
   C              G
So good to me, so right
             Am              F                   C
And how you held me in your arms that September night
                   G            Am
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
F
   Probably mindless dreaming
C                                             G
  But if we 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                                           Em
But this is me swallowing my pride, standing in front of you
                           F
Saying I'm sorry for that night
         C             G
And I go back to December
   C
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Em                                    F
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
     C                  G                       F
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
     Am                 G                         F
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
     Am                G
I go back to December all the time
[Outro]
C    Am  F           C     Am  F
            All the time
