Standard Tuning
Capo on 3rd fret


C   Am F (2x)

C
I'm so glad you made the 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
You're guard is up, and I know why

Am                    G
Because the last time you saw me
           C                          F
It's still burned in the back of your mind 
            Am          G                  F    
You gave me roses and I left them there to die

   C
So this is me swallowing my pride 
            Em
Standing in front of you saying 
                    F
"I'm sorry for that night" and I go 
C                G              
Back to December all the time
   C
It turns out freedom ain't
(C)
Nothing but missing you
Em      
Wishing I'd realized what I had 
     F
When you were mine 
       C
I'd go back to December, 
G                           F 
Turn around and make it all right
     
Am *once         G*           
I go back to December all the time


C   Am F (2x)

C                         
These days I haven't been sleeping
Am
Stayin' 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 watch you laughing from the passenger side
F                               C  G
And realized I loved you in the fall

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 and
      G           F
All I gave you was goodbye


   C
So this is me swallowing my pride 
            Em
Standing in front of you saying 
                    F
"I'm sorry for that night" and I go 
C                G             
Back to December all the time
   C
It turns out freedom ain't
(C)
Nothing but missing you
Em      
Wishing I'd realized what I had 
     F
When you were mine 
       C
I'd go back to December, 
G                         F 
Turn around and change my own mind
     Am               G            
I go back to December all the time


C  Am F (2x)
 
            Am            F 
I miss your tan skin your sweet smile
   C              G
So good to me, so right
            Am              F
And how you held me in your arms
               C
That September night
                   G           Am -stop  
The first time you ever saw me cry
                              F -stop
Maybe this is wishful thinking
                          C
Probably mindless dreaming
(C)                                     G *once
If you loved again I swear I'd love you right

       Am *once         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

    C
But this is me swallowing my pride 
            Em                             
Standing in front of you saying 
                    F
"I'm sorry for that night" and I go 
C              G
Back to December...
   C  
It turns out freedom ain't
(C)            
Nothing but missing you
Em                              
Wishing I'd realized what I had 
     F  
When you were mine 
       
C  
I'd go back to December 
G                           F                           
Turn around and make it all right
       C         
I’d go back to December
G                         F
Turn around and change my own mind
     Am *once         G*        
I go back to December all the time

C  Am F         C  Am F *once
        All the time
