^C I'm so glad you made time to see me ^Am How's life, tell me how's your family ^F I haven't seem them in a ^Cwh^Gile ^C You've been good, busier than ever ^Am We small talk, work and the weather ^F Your guard is up and I know ^Cwh^Gy

^Am Because the last ti^Gme you saw me Is still burn^Ced in the back of your ^Fmind You gave me ^Amroses and I ^Gleft them there to ^Fdie

So ^Cthis is me swallowing my pride Standing in ^Emfront of you saying I'm sorry for that n^Fight And I go ^Cback to December ^Gall the time It t^Curns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you ^EmWishing I'd realized what I had when ^Fyou were mine I go ^Cback to December, ^Gturn around and make it a^Flright I go ^Amback to December ^Gall the time

^C These days I haven't been sleeping ^AmStaying up playing back myself leaving ^F When your birthday passed and I didn't ^Cca^Gll Then I ^Cthink about summer, all the beautiful times I ^Amwatched you laughing from the passenger side And^F realized I loved you in the ^Gfall

^Am And then the cold came,^G the dark days When ^Cfear crept into my ^Fmind You gave me ^Amall your love And all I ^Ggave you was^F goodbye

So ^Cthis is me swallowing my pride Standing in ^Emfront of you saying I'm sorry for that n^Fight And I go ^Cback to December ^Gall the time It ^Cturns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you ^EmWishing I'd realized what I had when ^Fyou were mine I go ^Cback to December, ^Gturn around and change my ^Fown mind I go ^Amback to December ^Gall the time

I miss your ^Amtan skin and your ^Fsweet smile So ^Cgood to me, so ^Gright And how you ^Amheld me in your ^Farms that September ^Cnight The first time you ^Gever saw me cry

^Am Maybe this is wishful thinking ^F Probably mindless dreaming ^C But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you ^Gright

I'd go ^Amback in time and c^Fhange it, but ^GI can't So if the ^Amchain is on your ^Fdoor, I unde^Grstand

But t^Chis is me swallowing my pride Standing in ^Emfront of you saying I'm sorry for that n^Fight And I go ^Cback to Decemb^Ger It ^Cturns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you ^EmWishing I'd realized what I had when ^Fyou were mine I go ^Cback to December, ^Gturn around and make it a^Flright I go ^Amback to December, ^Gturn around and change my ^Fown mind I go ^Amback to December ^Gall the time
