You gave me roses and I left them there to die

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

And I go back to December all the time

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you

I'd go back to December, turn around and make it alright

Verse 2:

These days I haven't been sleeping
E           D  D  C# C#  C#   C# D 


Staying up playing back myself leaving
B B        E    D D     D    C# C#  C# D 


When your birthday passed and I didn't call
D          D     G F#     D       D   D D E   F# E F# E C#


And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
D    D  F#   F# F#  G F#    D  D    D E E       E 


I watched you laughing from the passenger side and
D   F#       F#   G F#     D     D     D E E       E    E 


Realised I loved you in the fall
D G G   F#  D     B    D  E   F# E F# E C#


Pre-Chorus:

And then the cold came
B        B   B    F#    E 


The dark days when fear crept into my mind
B       E     D     C#    D     D     D B  A   G 


You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye
B      B     B  F#  G    F#   F# F# E  C#  C#  C#    B D




Chorus:

So this is me swallowing my pride
E    F# E  F#  F# E F#   F#  F#



Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night
F# E      F# F#  E  F#    F# E   F# F# E  F#  A   C# D


And I go back to December all the time
D   F# D   D   E   F# F# E  F#  C#  D


It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
F# F#   F# F# E      F#    F# E    F#  F# E    F#


Wishing I'd realised what  I had when you were mine
F# E     F#  F# E F#  F# F# A   C#   C#   D     D 


Post-Chorus:


I'd go back to December, turn around and make it alright

I go back to December all the time

I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile, so good to me, so right

And how you held me in your arms that September night

The first time you ever saw me cry
B    F#    E     D    A E  D    C#  B

Maybe this is wishful thinking
A E       D  B   D B     C# D 


Probably mindless dreaming
A E D      C# B      C# D


But if we loved again I swear I'd love you right
D   D  G   F#     D D  D   D    D   D    A    A 


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

So if the chain is on your door, I understand
B   B C#   D    D  D  C#    A    A   A B B 


Chorus:

So this is me swallowing my pride
E    F# E  F#  F# E F#   F#  F#



Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night
F# E      F# F#  E  F#    F# E   F# F# E  F#  A   C# D


And I go back to December all the time
D   F# D   D   E   F# F# E  F#  C#  D


It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
F# F#   F# F# E      F#    F# E    F#  F# E    F#



Wishing I'd realised what  I had when you were mine
F# E     F#  F# E F#  F# F# A   C#   C#   D     D 




Post-Chorus/Outro:

I'd go back to December, turn around and make it alright
F#  D   D    E   F# F# E   F#    E F#    E    F#   E    D B 

I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
F# D    D    E   F# F# E   F#  E F# E F# E D B 


I go back to December all the time
F# D D E F# F# E F# E F# E D 


All the time

F# C# D

  5. I adore this website since it's the only one I can find with whole music. Could you perhaps make the songs a little bit more difficult? Can you also perform "Best Day" by Taylor Swift? www.agoodbrickmason.com

  6. Eu pessoalmente gosto de ouvir música clássica no icloud, isso me dá uma sensação boa. Ou no Apple Music ou no iPhone, geralmente encontro músicas gratuitas https://klingeltondownload.com que posso definir como toque de telefone no toque de bud spencer quando estou entediado.
