E
I'm so glad you made time to see me
C#m
How's life? Tell me how's your family
I haven't seen them in a while
E
You've been good, busier than ever
C#m
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up, and I know why
B ecause the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me ro ses, and I left them there to die
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right
I go ba ck to December all the time
E
These days, I haven't been sleeping
C#m
Staying up, playing back myself leavin'
When your birthday passed, and I didn't call
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side
And realized I loved you in the fall
A nd then the cold came
The dark days when fear crept into my mind
You gave me al l your love
And all I gave you was 'Goodbye'
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right
I go ba ck to December all the time
I miss your ta nned skin, your sweet smile
So good to me, so right
And how you hel d me in your arms that September night
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
A
Probably mindless dreaming
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right
I'd go ba ck in time and change it, but I can't
So if the cha in is on your door, I understand
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December...
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right
I'd go ba ck to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go ba ck to December all the time
All the time
