Taylor Swift- Back to December

Capo 2

C  Am  F (2x)

C

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

Am

How's life, tell me how's your family

F                        C   G

I haven't seen them in a while

C

You've been good, busier than ever

Am

We small talk, work and the weather

F                              C  G

You're guard is up, and I know why

Am                    G

Because the last time you saw me

C                          F

It's still burned in the back of your mind

Am          G                  F

You gave me roses and I left them there to die

C

So this is me swallowing my pride

Em

Standing in front of you saying

F

"I'm sorry for that night" and I go

C                G

Back to December all the time

C

It turns out freedom ain't

C

Nothing but missing you

Em

Wishing I'd realized what I had

F

When you were mine

C

I'd go back to December,

G                           F

Turn around and make it all right

Am *once         G*

I go back to December all the time

C  Am F (2x)

C

These days I haven't been sleeping

Am

Stayin' up playing back myself leaving

F                                      C  G

When your birthday passed and I didn't call

C

Then I think about summer all the beautiful times

Am

I watch you laughing from the passenger side

F                               C  G

And realized I loved you in the fall

Am                     G

And then the cold came the dark days

C                  F

When fear crept into my mind

Am

You gave me all your love and

G           F

All I gave you was goodbye

C

So this is me swallowing my pride

Em

Standing in front of you saying

F

I'm sorry for that night and I go

C                G

Back to December all the time

C

It turns out freedom ain't

C

Nothing but missing you

Em

Wishing I'd realized what I had

F

When you were mine

C

I'd go back to December,

G                         F

Turn around and change my own mind

Am               G

I go back to December all the time

C  Am F (2x)

Am            F

I miss your tan skin your sweet smile

C              G

So good to me, so right

Am              F

And how you held me in your arms

C

That September night

G           Am -stop

The first time you ever saw me cry

F -stop

Maybe this is wishful thinking

C

Probably mindless dreaming

C                                     G

If you loved again I swear I'd love you right

Am               G              F

I'd go back in time and change it but I can't

Am               G           F

So if the chain is on your door I understand

C

But this is me swallowing my pride

G

Standing in front of you saying

F

"I'm sorry for that night" and I go

C           G

Back to December...

C

It turns out freedom ain't

C

Nothing but missing you

Em

Wishing I'd realized what I had

F

When you were mine

C

I'd go back to December

G                           F

Turn around and make it all right

Am

I'd go back to December

G                         F

Turn around and change my own mind

Am               G

I go back to December all the time

C  Am F         C  Am F *once

All the time
