 I'm so glad you made the time to see
 me

Bm 
 How's life, tell me how's your
 family 
 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
 
 We small talk, work and the weather 
G                              D  A 
 Your guard is up, and I know why
[Pre-Ritornello]
Bm                    A 
 Because the last time you saw me 
           D                        
 Is still burned in the back of your
  G 
 mind 
 Is still burned in the back of your mind 
              Bm          A       
 You gave me roses and I left them
           G 
 there to die
 You gave me roses and I left them there to die
[Ritornello]
     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
[Post-Ritornello]
        D 
I'd go back to December, 
 A                           G 
Turn around and make it all right 
     Bm               A 
I go back to December all the time
[Strumentale]

D 
 These days I haven't been sleeping 
Bm 
 Stayin' up playing back myself
 leaving 
 Stayin' up playing back myself leaving 
G                               
 When your birthday passed and I
         D  A 
 didn't call 
 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 
 I watch you laughing from the passenger side 
    G                           
 And realized I loved you in the
  D  A 
 fall
 And realized I loved you in the fall
[Pre-Ritornello]
Bm                     A 
 And then the cold came the dark days
 
 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
[Ritornello]
     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

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

             Bm                G 
I miss your tanned skin, your sweet
 smile 
I miss your tanned 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 
The first time you ever saw me cry 
                              G 
Maybe this is wishful thinking 
                          D 
Probably mindless dreaming 
 D                                 
If you loved again I swear I'd love
      A 
 you right  
If you loved again I swear I'd love you right  
       Bm                A           
I'd go back in time and change it but
    G 
 I can't 
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't 
           Bm               A    
So if the chain is on your door I
       G 
 understand
So if the chain is on your door I understand
[Interludio]
    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...

When you were mine

Turn around and make it all right

I'd go back to December 
 A                         G 
Turn around and change my own mind

I go back to December all the time
