No capo! Pretty song, and I think it's fairly close! Try the strumming pattern DDDUUDDDU
Key: *One downward strum
***Three quick downward strums
D G 2x
D
I'm so glad you made time to see me
G
How's life, tell me how's your family
Em D
I haven't seen them in a while
D
You've been good, busier than ever
G
We small talk, work and the weather
Em D
Your guard is up, and I know why
Em G D
Because the last time you saw me is still burned in the back of you mind
Em G D
You gave me roses, and I left them there to die
D
So this is me swallowing my pride
G Em
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
D
And I go back to December all the time
D
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
G Em
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
D
And I go back to December
Em
Turn around and make it alright
D G
I go back to December all the time
D G 2x
D
These days, I haven't been sleeping
G
Staying up playing back myself leaving
Em D
When your birthday passed, and I didn't call
D
And I think about summer all the beautiful times
G
I watched you laughing from the passenger side and
Em D
Realized I loved you in the fall
Em G D
And then the cold came, and dark days when fear crept into my mind
Em G D
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye
D
So this is me swallowing my pride
G Em
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
D
And I go back to December all the time
D
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
G Em
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
D
And I go back to December
Em
Turn around and change my own mind
D G
I go back to December all the time
D G 2x
Em G
I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile
D
So good to me, so right
Em G D
And how you held me in your arms that September night
Em***
The first time you ever saw me cry
Em***
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
Em* G* D*
If we loved again, I swear I'd love you right
Em* G* D*
I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't
Em* G* D*
So if the chain is on your door, I understand
D (softly)
So this is me swallowing my pride
G Em
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
D (normal speed)
And I go back to December
D
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
G Em
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
D
I go back to December
Em
Turn around and make it alright
D Em
I go back to December turn around and change my own mind
D G
I go back to December all the time
D G
All the time
D G
