[Verse]
G D A Em
A long December and there's reason to believe
G D G
Maybe this year will be better than the last
Em G D A
I can't remember the last thing that you said
Em
as you were leavin'
D G
Now the days go by so fast
[Chorus]
D G Em G
And it's one more day up in the canyons
D G Em
And it's one more night in Hollywood
D G Em -stop- D
If you think that I could be forgiven...I wish you would
G Em G D G Em Em
nanananananananana.. yeah
[Verse]
G D A
The smell of hospitals in winter
Em G D G
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
Em G D A
All at once you look across a crowded room
Em D G
To see the way that light attaches to a girl
[Chorus]
D G Em G
And it's one more day up in the canyons
D G Em
And it's one more night in Hollywood
D G Em -stop- D
If you think you might come to California...I think you should
G Em G D G Em
nanananananananana.. yeah
[Break]

[Verse]
G D A Em
Drove up to the Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.
G D G
And talked a little while about the year
Em G D A
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower
Em D
Makes you talk a little lower about
G
the things you could not show her
[Chorus]
G D A Em
And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
G D G
Maybe this year will be better than the last
Em G D A
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
Em D G
To hold on to these moments as they pass
[Outro]
D G Em G
And it's one more day up in the canyon
D G Em
And it's one more night in Hollywood
D G Em -stop- D
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean...I guess I should
G Em G D G Em Em D
nanananananananana.... yeah
G Em G D G Em Em
nanananananananana.... yeah
