Back To December

[D]   [Bm] [G]

[D]I'm so glad you made the time to see me
[Bm]How's life, tell me how's your family
[G]I haven't seen them in a [D]whil[A]e
[D]You've been good, busier than ever
[Bm]We small talk, work and the weather
[G]You're guard is up, and I know [D]why[A]

[Bm]Because the last time [A]you saw me
It's still [D]burned in the back of your [G]mind
You gave me [Bm]roses and I [A]left them there to [G]die

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
N[D]othing 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
     [Bm] *once         [A]*
I go back to December all the time

[D]   [Bm] [G]

[D]These days I haven't been sleeping
[Bm]Stayin' up playing back myself leaving
[G]When your birthday passed and I didn't [D]cal[A]l
Then I [D]think about summer all the beautiful times
[Bm]I watch you laughing from the passenger side
[G]And realized I loved you in the [D]fal[A]l

[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

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
N[D]othing 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 [G]own mind
I go [Bm]back to December [A]all the time

[D]  [Bm] [G]

I miss your [Bm]tan 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
                   [A]           [Bm] -stop
The first time you ever saw me cry
                              [G] -stop
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming[D]
 [D]                                      [A] *once
If you loved again I swear I'd love you right

       [Bm] *once         [A]*              [G]*
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
So if the [Bm]chain is on your [A]door I under[G]stand

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 Decembe[A]r...
It [D]turns out freedom ain't
N[D]othing 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 [D]back to December
[A]Turn around and change my [G]own mind
     [Bm] *once         [A]*
I go back to December all the time

[D]  [Bm] [G]         [D]  [Bm] [G] *once
        All the time

Have fun!!
