Intro: D Bm G
D Bm G
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 A
I go back to December all the time
( D Bm G )
( D Bm G )
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 )
( D Bm G )
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
The first time you ever saw me cry
hide this tab
G|-stop|
Maybe this is wishful thinking
D
Probably mindless dreaming
D A
If you loved again I swear I'd love you right
Bm 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
Bm G
And then he said, it's too late to apologize
D A
It's too late
Bm G
He said, it's too late to apologize
D A
It's too late
Bm G
But, this is me swallowing my pride
(It's too late to apologize)
D
Standing in front of you
(It's too late)
A Bm
saying I'm sorry for that night
(It's too late to apologize)
G D A
And I go back to December...
(It's too late)
Bm G
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
(Its too late to apologize)
D A
Wishing I'd realized what I had
(It's too late)
Bm
when you were mine
(It's too late to apologize)
G D A
Oh ho oh oh
(It's too late)
Bm
He said you're not sorry
(It's too late to apologize
G D A
No, no, no
(It's too late)
Bm
You're not sorry
(It's too late to apologize)
G D A
No, no, no
(It's too late)
Bm
You're not sorry
(It's too late to apologize)
G D A
No, no, no
(It's too late)
Bm
You're not sorry
G D A
No, no, no
