G
i'm so glad you made time to see me
Em
how's life, tell me, how's your family
C G D
i haven't seen them in a while
G
you've been good, busier than ever
Em
we small talk, work and the weather
C G D
your guard is up and i know why
Em D
because the last time you saw me
G C
is still burned in the back of your mind
Em D C
you gave me roses and i left them there to die
Chorus
G
so this is me swallowing my pride,
Bm
standing in front of you
C
saying i'm sorry for that night
G D
and i go back to december all the time
G
it turns out freedom ain't
nothing but missing you
Bm
wishing i'd realized what
C
i had when you were mine..
G
i go back to december,
D C
turn around and make it alright
Em D
i go back to december all the time..
Int. G Em C
G
these days i haven't been sleeping
Em
staying up, playing back myself leaving
C
when your birthday passed
G D
and i didn't call
G
then i think about summer,
all the beautiful times
Em
i watched you laughing
from the passenger side
C G D
and realized i loved you in the fall
Em D
and then the cold came, the dark days
G C
when fear crept into my mind
Em
you gave me all your love
D C
and all i gave you was.. goodbye
Chorus
G
so this is me swallowing my pride,

Em C
i miss your tan skin and your sweet smile
G D
so good to me, so right
Em
and how you held me in
C G
your arms that september night
D Em
the first time you ever saw me cry
maybe this is wishful thinking
C
probably mindless dreaming
G
but if we loved again,
C
i swear i'd love you right
Em D
i'd go back in time and change it,
C
but i can't
Em D
so if the chain is on your door,
C
i understand
