1. D I’m so glad you made time to see me.
Bm How’s life? Tell me how’s your family?
G I haven’t seen them in a D while A
D You’ve been good, busier than ever,
Bm We small talk, work and the weather,
G Your guard is up and I know D why A
Bm Because the last time A you saw me
Is still D burned in the back of your G mind.
You gave me Bm roses and I A left them there to G die
Chorus: So D this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in F#m front of you saying "I’m sorry for that G night"
And I go D back to December A all the time.
It D turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you
F#m Wishing I’d realized what I had when G you were mine
I’d go D back to December, A turn around and make it all G right
I go Bm back to December A all the time
2. D These days I haven’t been sleeping,
Bm Staying up, playing back myself leavin’.
G When your birthday passed and I didn’t D call A
And I D think about summer, all the beautiful times,
Bm I watched you laughing from the passenger side.
G Realized that I loved you in the D fall A
Bm And then the cold came, A the dark days
When D fear crept into my G mind
You gave me Bm all your love and all I A gave you was G "Goodbye"
Chorus: So D this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in F#m front of you saying "I’m sorry for that G night"
And I go D back to December A all the time.
It D turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you
F#m Wishing I’d realized what I had when G you were mine
I’d go D back to December, A turn around and change my own G mind
I go Bm back to December A all the time
* I miss your Bm tanned skin, your G sweet smile, so D good to me, so A right
And how you Bm held me in your G arms that September D night
The first time you A ever saw me Bm cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking G probably mindless dreaming D
But if we loved again, I swear I’d love you A right
I’d go Bm back in time and A change it but I G can’t.
So if the Bm chain is on your A door I unders-G tand.
Chorus: But D this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in F#m front of you saying "I’m sorry for that G night"
And I go D back to December A
It D turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you,
F#m Wishing I’d realized what I had when G you were mine.
I’d go D back to December, A turn around and make it all G right.
I’d go Bm back to December, A turn around and change my G own mind
* I go Bm back to December A all the time.
DBmG All the D time BmG
