[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
 Your guard is up and I know why.

A
 I blew things out of proportion, now you're blue

D
 Put you in jail for something you didn't do

A
 I pinned your hands behind your back, oh

D
 Thought I had reason to attack, but no
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                     A
 And now 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.

A
Fighting with a true love is boxing with no gloves

D
Chemistry 'til it blows up, 'til there's no us

E                            D
Why'd I have to break what I love so much?

     E                 D
It's on your face, and I'm to blame, I need to say
[Chorus]
A             E         Bm
Hey, it's all me, in my head

D                         A
I'm the one who burned us down

         E          Bm
But it's not what I meant

D
Sorry that I hurt you

   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.

A                                          E
I don't wanna do, I don't wanna do this to you

Bm                                               D
I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you

               A               E              Bm
I need to say, hey, it’s all me, just don't go

D
Meet me in the afterglow
[Verse 2]
A
 It's so excruciating to see you low

D
 Just wanna lift you up and not let you go

A
 This ultraviolet morning light below

D
 Tells me this love is worth the fight, oh

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]
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.

A
I lived like an island, punished you with silence

D
Went off like sirens, just crying

E                            D
Why'd I have to break what I love so much?

     E                   D
It's on your face, don't walk away, I need to say
{Chorus]
A             E         Bm
Hey, it's all me, in my head

D                         A
I'm the one who burned us down

         E          Bm
But it's not what I meant

    D
I'm sorry that I hurt you

A                                          E
I don't wanna do, I don't wanna do this to you

Bm
I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you

   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.

         E              Bm
I need to say, hey, it's all me, just don't go

D
Meet me in the afterglow
[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.

Bm
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]
    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.

               A             E              Bm
I need to say, hey, it's all me, just don't go

D
Meet me in the afterglow
