BACK TO DECEMBER
D Bm G [2x]
DI'm so glad you made the time to see me
BmHow's life, tell me how's your family
GI haven't seen them in a DwhilAe
DYou've been good, busier than ever
BmWe small talk, work and the weather
GYou're guard is up, and I know DwhyA
BmBecause the last time Ayou saw me
It's still Dburned in the back of your Gmind
You gave me Bmroses and I Aleft them there to Gdie
So Dthis is me swallowing my pride
Standing in F#mfront of you saying
"I'm sorry for that Gnight" and I go
DBack to December Aall the time
It Dturns out freedom ain't
D
Nothing but missing you
F#mWishing I'd realized what I had
When Gyou were mine
I'd go Dback to December,
ATurn around and make it all Gright
Bm *once A*
I go back to December all the time
D Bm G [2x]
DThese days I haven't been sleeping
BmStayin' up playing back myself leaving
GWhen your birthday passed and I didn't DcalAl
Then I Dthink about summer all the beautiful times
BmI watch you laughing from the passenger side
GAnd realized I loved you in the DfalAl
BmAnd then the cold came Athe dark days
When Dfear crept into my Gmind
You gave me Bmall your love and
All I Agave you wasG goodbye
So Dthis is me swallowing my pride
Standing in F#mfront of you saying
"I'm sorry for that Gnight" and I go
DBack to December Aall the time
It Dturns out freedom ain't
D
Nothing but missing you
F#mWishing I'd realized what I had
When Gyou were mine
I'd go Dback to December,
ATurn around and change my Gown mind
I go Bmback to December Aall the time
D Bm G [2x]
I miss your Bmtan skin your Gsweet smile
So Dgood to me, so Aright
And how you Bmheld me in your Garms
That September Dnight
A Bm -stop
The first time you ever saw me cry
G -stop
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreamingD
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
So if the Bm*chain is on your A*door I underG*stand
But Dthis is me swallowing my pride
Standing in F#mfront of you saying
"I'm sorry for that Gnight" and I go
DBack to DecembeAr...
It Dturns out freedom ain't
D
Nothing but missing you
F#mWishing I'd realized what I had
When Gyou were mine
I'd go Dback to December
ATurn around and make it all Gright
I'd go Dback to December
ATurn around and change my Gown mind

ELong were the nights when my days once revolved around Asus2you
ECounting my footsteps, prayin' the floor won't fall Asus2through, again
BMy mother accused me of C#mlosing my Bmind
But I Asus2swore I was fine
EYou paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to Asus2rain
And I Elived in your chess game but you changed the rules every Asus2day

The Bgirl in the dress cried the Awhole way home.
I shoulda Eknown. Asus2
Well Emaybe it's me and my blind optimism to Asus2blame.
Maybe it's Eyou and your sick need to give love then take it Asus2away.
And Byou'll add my name to your C#mlong list of Btraitors
Who Asus2don't understand.
And I'll look Bback in regret how I C#mignored when they Bsaid
"Run as Asus2fast as you can."
Dear EJohn, I see it all now that you're Agone.
Don't you think I was too C#myoung to be messed with?
The Bgirl in the dress cried the Awhole way home.
Dear EJohn, I see it all now it was Awrong.
Don't you think nineteen's too C#myoung to be played by your Bdark twisted games
When I Aloved you so?
I shoulda Eknown.Asus2
You are an C#mexpert at sorry
And Bkeeping lines blurry
And Anever impressed by me acing your tests
All the C#mgirls that you run dry
Have Btired lifeless eyes
'Cause you Aburned them out
But BI took your matches
BeC#mfore fire could Bcatch me
So Asus2don't look now
I'm Bshining like fireworks
AOver your sad empty Etown Asus2 C#m B A
Dear EJohn, I see it all now that you're Agone.
Don't you think I was too C#myoung to be messed with?
The Bgirl in the dress cried the Awhole way home.
E I see it all now that you're Agone.
Don't you think I was too C#myoung to be messed with?
The Bgirl in the dress wrote Asus2you a song.
You shoulda Eknown.
You shoulda Asus2known.
E Don't you think I was too Asus2young?
You shoulda known. E

LAST KISS
Capo 3
G[x2] Em7[x2] Cadd9 D
GI still remember the look on your face,
Em7Lit through the darkness at 1:58,
Cadd9The words that you whispered for just us to know.
DYou told me you loved me so why did you go
GAway?
AEm7way.
Cadd9 D
GI do recall now the smell of the rain,
Em7Fresh on the pavement. I ran off the plane.
Cadd9That July 9th, the beat of your heart.
It Djumps through your shirt. I can still feel your arms.
But now Cadd9I'll go sit on the floor,
Wearing Gyour clothes.
All that I know is I Cadd9don't know.
How to be something you Dmiss.
I never thought we'd have a Glast kiss.Em7
Never imagined we'd Cadd9end like Em7thisD.
Cadd9Your name forever the name on my Dlips.
GI do remember the swing in your step.
The Em7life of the party, you're showing off again.
And Cadd9I roll my eyes and then you pull me in.
I'm Dnot much for dancin', but for you I did.
Because GI love your handshake, meetin' my father.
I Em7love how you walk with your hands in your pockets.
How you Cadd9kissed me when I was in the middle of sayin' something.
There's Dnot a day I don't miss those rude interruptions.
And Cadd9I'll go sit on the floor,
Wearing Gyour clothes.
All that I know is I Cadd9don't know
How to be something you Dmiss.
I never thought we'd have a Glast kiss.Em7
Never imagined we'd Cadd9end like Em7thisD.
Cadd9Your name forever the name on my Dlips.
Oo-oo-Cadd9ooh. D
So GI'll watch your life in Em7pictures
Like I used to watch you Cadd9sleep
And I'll feel you forDget me
Like I used to feel you Gbreathe
And I'll keep up with our Em7old friends
Just to ask them how you Cadd9are.
Hope it's nice where you Dare.
And I Cadd9hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day
And Gsomething reminds you, you wish you had stayed.
You can Cadd9plan for a change in the weather in town,
but DI never planned on you changing your mind.
So Cadd9I'll go sit on the floor,
Wearing Gyour clothes.
All that I know is I Cadd9don't know
How to be something you Dmiss.
I never thought we'd have a Glast kiss.Em7
Never imagined we'd Cadd9end like Em7thisD.
CYour name forever the name on my Dlips.
Just like our Glast kiss.
Forever the name on my Em7lips.
Forever the name on my Cadd9lips. D

LONG LIVE
Intro:G,C,Em,D,C
I say remember this Gmoment In the back of my Cmind
The time we stood with our sEmhaking hands
The cDrowds in stands went wiCld
We were the kings and the Gqueens
And they read off our Cnames
The night you danced like you Emknew our lives
Would nDever be the samCe
You held your head like a hEmero On a history book paCge
It was the end of a dEmecadeD But the start of an agCe
Chorus
Long liGve the walls we crashed thrCough
All the kingdom lights shEmined just for me and Dyou
I was screaming, "long lGive all the magic we maCde"
And bring on all the pretEmenders
One dCay we will be reGmembered
Verse 2
I said remember this fGeeling I passed the pictures aCround
Of all the years that we sEmtood there on the sDidelines
Wishing forC right now
We are the kings and the qGueens You traded your baseball cap for a crCown
When they gave us our tEmrophies And we hDeld them up for our tCown
And the cynics were Emoutraged Screaming, "this is absCurd"
'Cause for a moment a bEmand of thieves in
Dripped up jeans got to ruCle the world
Chorus
Long liGve the walls we crashed thrCough
All the kingdom lights shEmined just for me and Dyou
I was screaming, "long lGive all the magic we maCde"
And bring on all the pretEmenders I'm not afraDid
Long lGive all the mountains we movCed
I had the time of my lEmife
Fighting dragons with yDou
I was screaming, "long lGive the look on your fCace"
And bring on all the prEmetenders
One dCay we will be remGembered
Bridge
CHold on to spEminning around
ConfCetti fEmalls to the ground
May these Cmemories break our fall
Verse 3
And you take a moGment
Promise me tChis:
That you'll stand by me foEmrever
But if GDod forbid fate should step Cin
And force us into a gGoodbye
If you have children somedCay
When they point to the pEmicturesD
Please tell them my nCame
Tell them how the crCowds went wild
Tell them how I hDope they shine
Chorus
Long lGive the walls we crashed throCugh
I had the time of my lEmife with yoDu
Long,long lGive the walls we crashed thCrough
All the kingdom lights shEmined just for me and Dyou
I was screaming, "long lGive all the magic we maCde"
And bring on all the pretEmenders I'm not afraDid
Long lGive all the mountains we movCed
I had the time of my lEmife
Fighting dragons with yDou
long lGive the look on your fCace
And bring on all the prEmetenders
One dCay we will be remGembered
