[Intro] D Bm G (2x) [Verse 1]
D
I'm so glad you made the 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  A
You're guard is up, and I know why
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                    A
Because the last time you saw me

           D                          G
It's still burned in the back of your mind 

            Bm          A                  G    
You gave me roses and I left them there to die
[Chorus]
   D
So this is me swallowing my pride 

            F#m
Standing in front of you saying 

                    G
"I'm sorry for that night" and I go 

D                A              
Back to December all the time

   D
It turns out freedom ain't

(D)
Nothing but missing you

F#m      
Wishing I'd realized what I had 

     G
When you were mine 

       D
I'd go back to December, 

A                           G 
Turn around and make it all right

     Bm *once         A*           
I go back to December all the time
D Bm G (2x) [Verse 2]
D                         
These days I haven't been sleeping

Bm
Stayin' up playing back myself leaving

G                                      D  A 
When your birthday passed and I didn't call

       D            
Then I think about summer all the beautiful times 

Bm
I watch you laughing from the passenger side

G                               D  A
And realized I loved you in the fall
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                     A
And then the cold came the dark days

     D                  G
When fear crept into my mind

            Bm                   
You gave me all your love and

      A           G
All I gave you was goodbye
[Chorus]
   D
So this is me swallowing my pride 

            F#m
Standing in front of you saying 

                    G
"I'm sorry for that night" and I go 

D                A             
Back to December all the time

   D
It turns out freedom ain't

(D)
Nothing but missing you

F#m      
Wishing I'd realized what I had 

     G
When you were mine 

       D
I'd go back to December, 

A                         G 
Turn around and change my own mind

     Bm               A            
I go back to December all the time
D Bm G (2x) [Bridge]
            Bm            G 
I miss your tan skin your sweet smile

   D              A
So good to me, so right

            Bm              G
And how you held me in your arms

               D
That September night

                   A           Bm -stop  
The first time you ever saw me cry

                              G -stop
Maybe this is wishful thinking

                          D
Probably mindless dreaming

(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

          Bm*              A*          G*
So if the chain is on your door I understand
[Interlude]
    D
But this is me swallowing my pride 

            F#m                             
Standing in front of you saying 

                    G
"I'm sorry for that night" and I go 

D              A
Back to December...
[Chorus]
   D  
It turns out freedom ain't

(D)            
Nothing but missing you

F#m                              
Wishing I'd realized what I had 

     G  
When you were mine 

       D  
I'd go back to December 

A                           G                           
Turn around and make it all right

       Bm         
I'd go back to December

A                         G
Turn around and change my own mind

     Bm *once         A*        
I go back to December all the time
[Outro]
D  Bm G         D  Bm G *once
        All the time
