Misc Originals – Bena Shelby - B2D (Guitar)

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  F
Your guard is up and I know why

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

    C
So this is me swallowin' my pride

            Em
Standin' in front of you sayin'

                    F
I'm sorry for that night

         C                G
And I go back to December all the time

             C
It turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missin' you

Em
Wishin' I'd realized what I had

              F
when you were mine

    C                    G                       F
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it alright

     Am               G
I go back to December all the time

C
These days, I haven't been sleepin'

Am
Stayin' up playin' back myself leavin'

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 laughin' from the passenger's 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                      G                F
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye

    C
So this is me swallowin' my pride

            Em
Standin' in front of you sayin'

                    F
I'm sorry for that night

         C                G
And I go back to December all the time

   C
It turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missin' you

Em
Wishin' 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

             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
The first time you ever saw me cry

                              F
Maybe this is wishful thinkin'

          C
Probably mindless dreamin'

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

    C
But this is me swallowin' my pride

            Em
Standin' in front of you sayin'

                    F
I'm sorry for that night

         C         G
And I go back to December

C
It turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missin' you

Em                                            F
Wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine

       C                 G                        F
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it alright

       Am                G               F
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind

     Am                G
I go back to December all the time
