Back To December Guitar Chords
It‘s been almost four years since Taylor Swift released her last album, Red, and fans are more than ready for new music. The wait is almost over, as Swift is set to release her sixth studio album, Reputation, on November 10. While we don‘t know much about the album just yet, we do know that it will feature a track called “Back to December.” The song was co–written by Swift and her frequent collaborator, Liz Rose, and it‘s rumored to be about Swift‘s ex–boyfriend, Jake Gyllenhaal. Swift has been relatively quiet about her personal life in recent years, but she did open up about her relationship with Gyllenhaal in a recent interview with Vogue. When asked if she looks back on that relationship fondly, she replied, “There are definitely times when I think back on it fondly, and other times when I see photos and I‘m like, ‘Oh, lord, what was I thinking?'” It‘s clear that Swift has mixed feelings about her past relationship, and “Back to December“ is likely a reflection of that. The song is rumored to be a apology to Gyllenhaal, and it‘s possible that it
Tone D: Capo 2
[C] I’m so glad you made time to see me.
[Am] How’s life? Tell me how’s your family?
[F] I haven’t seen them in a [C] while [G]
[C] You’ve been good, busier than ever,
[Am] We small talk, work and the weather,
[F] Your guard is up and I know [C] why [G]
[Am] Because the last time [G] you saw me
Is still [C] burned in the back of your [F] mind.
You gave me [Am] roses and I [G] left them there to [F] die
Chorus:
So [C] this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in [Em] front of you saying “I’m sorry for that [F] night”
And I go [C] back to December [G] all the time.
It [C] turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you
[Em] Wishing I’d realized what I had when [F] you were mine
I’d go [C] back to December, [G] turn around and make it all [F] right
I go [Am] back to December [G] all the time
[C] These days I haven’t been sleeping,
[Am] Staying up, playing back myself leavin’.
[F] When your birthday passed and I didn’t [C] call [G]
And I [C] think about summer, all the beautiful times,
[Am] I watched you laughing from the passenger side.
[F] Realized that I loved you in the [C] fall [G]
[Am] And then the cold came, [G] the dark days
When [C] fear crept into my [F] mind
You gave me [Am] all your love and all I [G] gave you was [F] “Goodbye”
Chorus:
So [C] this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in [Em] front of you saying “I’m sorry for that [F] night”
And I go [C] back to December [G] all the time.
It [C] turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you
[Em] Wishing I’d realized what I had when [F] you were mine
I’d go [C] back to December, [G] turn around and change my own [F] mind
I go [Am] back to December [G] all the time
I miss your [Am] tanned skin, your [F] sweet smile, so [C] good to me, so [G] right
And how you [Am] held me in your [F] arms that September [C] night
The first time you [G] ever saw me [Am] cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking [F] probably mindless dreaming [C]
But if we loved again, I swear I’d love you [G] right
I’d go [Am] back in time and [G] change it but I [F] can’t.
So if the [Am] chain is on your [G] door I unders-[F] tand.
Chorus:
But [C] this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in [Em] front of you saying “I’m sorry for that [F] night”
And I go [C] back to December [G]
It [C] turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you,
[Em] Wishing I’d realized what I had when [F] you were mine.
I’d go [C] back to December, [G] turn around and make it all [F] right.
I’d go [Am] back to December, [G] turn around and change my [F] own mind
* I go [Am] back to December [G] all the time.
[C] [Am] [F] All the [C] time [Am] [F]
