Back To December - Taylor Swift

D   Bm G (2x)

D

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

Bm

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

G                              D  A

You're guard is up, and I know why

Bm                    A

Because the last time you saw me

           D                          G

It's still burned in the back of your mind

            Bm          A                  G   

You gave me roses and I left them there to die

   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

       D

I'd go back to December,

A                           G

Turn around and make it all right

     Bm *once         A*          

I go back to December all the time

D   Bm G (2x)

D                        

These days I haven't been sleeping

Bm

Stayin' up playing back myself leaving

G                                      D  A

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

G                               D  A

And realized I loved you in the fall

Bm                     A

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

   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

       D

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

D  Bm G (2x)

            Bm            G

I miss your tan 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 -stop 

The first time you ever saw me cry

                              G -stop

Maybe this is wishful thinking

                          D

Probably mindless dreaming

(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

          Bm*              A*          G*

So if the chain is on your door I understand

    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...

   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

       D 

I'd go back to December

A                           G                          

Turn around and make it all right

       D        

I'd go back to December

A                         G

Turn around and change my own mind

     Bm *once         A*       

I go back to December all the time

D  Bm G         D  Bm G *once

        All the time
