Mood : Emo Mood
Key : D Major
This is another pretty emotional song. Pretty straightforward to play, but I wouldn't say it's really easy. The progression of the lyrics for first and second part is quite different. Unless you know the song well, it's very difficult to try to learn this within less than half an hour for most people.

Introduction :
In the actual song, this part was played with a few guitars and a synthesizer. Try to mimic the background and the guitar parts.
RH : G, F#, D, A, then A B A B A B A B and G, F#, D, A then D E D E D E D E
LH : D then B quickly to G repeat
You'll play this part a lot. Use some chords!
I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life, tell me how's your family
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good, busier then ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know why
(Left Hand gracefully dances on D, B, G, A while Right Hand plays the Melody simple with some trills)
'Cause the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me roses and I left them there to die
(Left Hand gracefully moves to B, A, D, F# to G then B, A, G. Right Hand plays the melody and towards the chorus. D G)
So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right
I'd go back to December all the time
(Chorus! Left Hand dances on D, F#, G, D, A for first part. D, F#, G, D, A, G, then B, A back to D. Right Hand plays the Melody with chords!)
These days I haven't been sleeping
Staying up playing back myself leaving
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side and,
Realized I loved you in the fall
(Left Hand gracefully dances on D, B, G, A while Right Hand plays the Melody with some chords and trills)
And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye
(Left Hand gracefully moves to B, A, D, F# to G then B, A, G. Right Hand plays the melody and towards the chorus. D G)
So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I'd go back to December all the time
(Chorus! Left Hand dances on D, F#, G, D, A for first part. D, F#, G, D, A, G, then B, A back to D. Right Hand plays the Melody with chords!)
Bridge
(LH : D, B, G repeat. RH : F#, A, B, C#, D, second time C#, D high notes)
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
(Left Hand dances strongly B, G, D, A repeat. Right Hand plays Melody)
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
(B B B then G G G Octave. Right Hand, freestyle on lyrics)
If we loved again I swear I'd love you right
(Left Hand D, then G)
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
(Left Hand B, A, G)
So if the chain is on your door, I understand
(Left Hand B, A, G, Right Hand Freestyle)
But this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to December
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I'd go back to December all the time
(Chorus! Start from very very soft. Left Hand dances on D, F#, G, D, A for first part. D, F#, G, D, A, G, then B, A back to D. Right Hand plays the Melody with chords!)
