'Back To December' by Taylor Swift - Guitar Tutorial

            Intro: 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
