[Verse]

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
So this is me swallowing my pride
            Em                                      F
Standing in front of you 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


[Instrumental] (Repeat intro tab)

Cadd4 C     Am   F


[Verse]

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                      G           F
You gave me all your love And all I gave you was goodbye


[Chorus]

   C
So this is me swallowing my pride
            Em                                      F
Standing in front of you 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


[Instrumental] (Repeat intro tab)

Cadd4 C     Am   F


[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
The first time you ever saw me cry

Am
 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
But this is me swallowing my pride
            Em                                      F
Standing in front of you 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] (Repeat intro tab x2)

Cadd4  C            Am    F
         All the time
Cadd4  C            Am    F
