I haven't seen them in  a  while.

A    E2   D2  C2#  C2#C2# C2# C2# D2
You've been good, busier   than    ever,

A       E2   D2    C2#  C2# C2# C2# D2

We small talk, work and the weather,

E2      D2   E2D2  E2 D2 E2     F2# E2 F2# E2 C2#
Your guard is up and I know why.

Pre-Chorus:

Because the last time you saw me

D2 D2   D2     D2  D2 D2    D2  A      G
Is still burned in the back of your mind.

A      A       B F2#E2 D2  C2# C2# C2#    C2#   B  D2
You gave me roses and   I      left   them there to die.

Chorus:

A    F2#  E2  F2#  F2# E2 F2# F2#  F2#
So   this  is    me swallowing  my pride,

F2#   E2 F2#F2# E2 F2# F2# E2  F2# F2#E2 F2# A2 C2#D2
Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night,"

And I go back to December all the time.

These days  I haven't been sleeping,

Staying up, playing back myself leavin'.

C2#     C2#  F2# F2# D2    C2# D2 E2 F2#E2 F2# E2 C2#
When your birthday passed and I didn't call.

D2 D2  F2# F2#F2# F2#G2F2#  E2  D2  D2 D2 E2 E2  
And I think about summer,     all the beautiful times,

D2  F2#   F2#   F2# G2  F2#  E2   D2D2 E2 E2D2  
I watched you laughing from the passenger side.

G2   G2       F2# D2      A  D2 E2 F2#E2F2#E2C2#
Realized that I loved you in the fall.

Pre-Chorus:

A       B      D2  F2#   E2    E2   D2    D2     D2    D2    D2  D2D2 A      G
And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind

A        A     A  F2#G2   F2# E2 D2 C2# C2# C2# C2#  B     D2
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was "Goodbye".

So   this  is    me swallowing  my pride,

Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night,"

And I go back to December all the time.

Bridge:

D2 D2  A2     E2         D2     A2      E2     D2
I miss your tanned skin, your sweet smile,

A2   E2   D2 D2   A2  E2
So good to me, so right

D2     D2    E2   G2  F2# D2 B      G2   F2#   D2  D2   E2   F2#
And how you held me in your arms that September night –

F2#  E2    D2      A    E2    D2 C2# D2
The first time you ever saw me cry.

A2  D2  D2  D2  D2 B C2# D2
Maybe this is wishful thinking,

A2  D2  D2  D2  D2 B C2# D2
Probably mindless dreaming,

D2 D2G2 F2#   D2 D2       D2     D2           A     A
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right.

B  C2# D2  C2# D2  C2#   D2    C2# A  B   B
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't.

A  B  C2#  D2  D2  D2  C2#   A   A  A   B     B

So if the chain is on your door I understand.

Chorus:

A   F2#  E2  F2#  F2# E2 F2# F2#  F2#
But this is me swallowing my pride
F2#   E2 F2#  F2# E2 F2# F2# E2  F2# F2#E2 F2# A2 C2#D2
Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night,"

E2 G2 D2 D2   E2 F2#F2#E2F2#
And I go back to December
D2 F2# F2#  F2#  E2   F2#  F2#  E2  F2# F2# E2 F2#
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you.
