[G] [D]
[Bm] [G]
[D]
[Bm] [G]
[D] I'm so glad you made time to see [Bm] me.
How's life?
Tell me how's your [G] family?
I haven't seen them [D] in a while.
[A]
[D] You've been, bud, busier than [Bm] ever.
We small talk, work in the weather.
[G] Your guard is up, and I [D] know why.
[A]
[Bm] Because the last [A] time you saw me, you [D] stood running back in [G] your mind.
You [Bm] gave me roses, and [A] I left them there [G] to die.
[D] So put my feet farther with my back leaning [F#m] in front of you, saying I'm sorry, boy, bye [G]-bye.
And I [D] go back to December [A] on time.
[D] It turns out freedom ain't nothing but a lesson [F#m] you're wishing I'd realized what I had.
[G] I [D] go back to December, [A] turn around and make it [G] all right.
I [Bm] go back to December [A] on time.
[D]
[Bm] [G]
[D]
[Bm] [G]
[D] These days, I haven't been sleeping, [Bm] staying up, paying back my stuff, leaving.
[G] When your birthday passed, and I [D] didn't call,
[A]
[D] then I think about the summer, all the beautiful [Bm] times I watched you laughing from the passenger [G] side
and realize I love you [D] enough for all.
[A]
[Bm] And in the cold [A] game, the dark maze, [D] when I feel crap in [G] my mouth,
you [Bm] gave me all your love, [A] I gave you [G] what?
Goodbye.
[D] So put my feet farther with my back leaning [F#m] in front of you, saying I'm sorry, boy, bye [G]-bye.
And I [D] go back to December [A] on time.
[D] It turns out freedom ain't nothing but a lesson [F#m] you're wishing I'd realized what I had.
[G]
And I [D] go back to December, [A] turn around and change [G] my own mind.
I [Bm] go back to December [A] on time.
[D]
[Bm] [G]
[D]
[Bm] [G] I miss [Bm] your attention, [G] your sweet smile, [D] so good to me, [A] so right.
I know [Bm] you held me in [G] your arms last September [D] night, the first time [A] you ever saw [Bm] me go.
Maybe this is wishful [G] thinking, probably mindless [D] dreaming.
It's time to give this girl what [A] she wants.
[Bm] I go back in time [A] and change it, but [G] I can't.
So [Bm] it's a chase on your [A] door, I [G] understand.
[D] But this is me swallowing my pride, standing [F#m] in front of you, saying I'm sorry for [G] that night.
And I [D] go back to [A] December.
[D] It turns out freedom ain't nothing but a lesson [F#m] you're wishing I'd realized what I had.
[G]
[D] And I go back to [A] December, turn around and make [G] it all right.
I [Bm] go back to [A] December, turn around and [G] change my own mind.
[Bm] I go back to [A] December on [D] time.
[Bm] [G]
On time.
[D] [Bm] [G]
