[Verse 1]
---------------------
D
 I'm so glad you made time to see me.
Bm
  How's life? Tell me how's your family,
G                               D A
 I haven't seen them in a while.
D
 You've been good, busier than ever.
Bm
  We small talk. Work and the weather.
G                                D A
 Your guard is up and I know why.

[Pre-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
Bm                     A
  Because the last time you saw me,
      D                          G
still burned in the back of your mind.
            Bm          A                    G
You gave me roses and I left them there to die.

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
   D
So this is me swallowing my pride,
            F#m                                             G
standing in front of you saying: "I'm sorry for that night".
         D                   A
And I go back to December all the time.
   D
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
F#m                                     G
wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.
           D                     A                      G
And I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
     Bm                  A
I go back to December all the time.

[Interlude]

D | Bm | G | D | Bm | G 

[Verse 2]
---------------------
D
 These days I haven't been sleeping.
Bm
Staying up, playing back myself leavin'.
G                                            D A
 When your birthday passed and I didn't call.
      D
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times.
  Bm
I watched you laughing from the passenger side,
   G                                 D A
and realized I loved you in the fall.

[Pre-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
Bm                       A                   D                  G
  And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind.
            Bm                      A           G
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye.

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
   D
So this is me swallowing my pride,
            F#m                                             G
standing in front of you saying: "I'm sorry for that night".
         D                   A
And I go back to December all the time.
   D
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
F#m                                     G
wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.
           D                     A                        G
And I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind.
     Bm                  A
I go back to December all the time.

[Bridge]
---------------------
D Bm G D Bm G            Bm                G               D              A
             I miss your tanned skin, your sweet smile, 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.

[Break]
---------------------
Maybe this is wishful thinking,
G
 probably mindless dreaming,
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.
          Bm                   A       G
So if the chain is on your door    I understand.

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
    D
But this is me swallowing my pride,
            F#m                                          G
standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night.
         Bm               A
And I go back to December.
   D
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
F#m                                    G
wishing I'd realize what I had when you were mine.
       D                     A                      G
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
       Bm                    A                        G
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind.
     Bm                  A
I go back to December all the time.

[Outro]

D Bm G        D    Bm G
      All the time.
