  A long December and there's reason to believe

             Bb           F               Bb  *(Gtr plays fill 1)

  Maybe this year will be better than the last

  Gm      Bb           F                   C                Gm

  I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leavin'

          F             Bb

  Now the days go by so fast

  

  Chorus:

                                            ^^^^^^^

                                            These notes played 1st

                                            time only

           F               Bb            Gm             

  And it's one more day up in the canyons

           F                 Bb          Gm

  And it's one more night in Hollywood

         F                  Bb         Gm

  If you think that I could be forgiven... I wish you would

  

  F     Bb

  Na na na na

  Gm          Bb

  Na na na na na na na na na

  F     Bb    Gm

  Na na na na yeah

  

  The smell of hospitals in winter       (w/ fill 1, then fill 2 here)

  And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls *

  All at once you look across a crowded room

  To see the way that light attaches to a girl *(and fill 3 here)

  And it's one more day up in the canyons

  And it's one more night in Hollywood

  If you think you might come to California... I think you should

  

  Solo: (same chords as intro)

  Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.

  And talked a little while about the year

  I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,

  Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not

          show her

  

  And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe

  Maybe this year will be better than the last *(fill 2)

  I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself

  To hold on to these moments as they pass *(fill 4)

  

  And it's one more day up in the canyon *(fill 5, played w/ a slide)

  And it's one more night in Hollywood

  It's been so long since I've seen the ocean... I guess I should
