Back To December — Taylor Swift

10-12-10
Hi!  So here's Taylor's next hit!  This song is really good
& seriously, I wouldn't expect anything less from her:) I
had 2 different versions and couldn't decided, but in the
end the this one won out. Plus, not everyone has a capo.
Have fun and please **RATE**  Thanks :)

Capo version:
   Click the TRANSPOSE bar above(Down 2 half steps), & put a
CAPO ON 2.  D Bm G A becomes C Am F G.

                        Update
So, I've finally seen Taylor play this on her guitar and she uses
a CAPO ON 2.  Her back-up guitarist however, uses these same
chords and does not use a capo.  I did change the two wrong A's
in the chorus to the correct F#m (which I can't play, but when
transposed it becomes an easy Em, the correct chord that Taylor
plays). So, Do like I previously said and use the capo version to

                  PLAY IT LIKE TAYLOR DOES!!

D   Bm G (2x)

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 *once         A*
I Go back to December all the time


D   Bm G (2x)

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 (2x)

            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 -stop
The first time you ever saw me cry
                              G -stop
Maybe this is wishful thinking
                          D
Probably mindless dreaming
(D)                                     A *once
If you loved again I swear I'd love you right

       Bm *once         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

    D
But 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...
   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
       D
I'd Go back to December
A                         G
Turn around and change my own mind
     Bm *once         A*
I Go back to December all the time

D  Bm G         D  Bm G *once
        All the time
