  a long December and there's reason to believe
      Bb                 F               Bb *
Maybe this year will be better than the last
 Gm             Bb       F                   C
   I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were
Gm
leavin'
        F             Bb
Now the days go by so fast
         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.

   Na, na-na, na. Yeah...

Verse:
 Bb              F            C
   The smell of hospitals in winter
        Gm                Bb            F
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no
 Bb
pearls
Gm        Bb              F               C
   All at once you look across a crowded room
           Gm               F           Bb
To see the way that light attaches to a girl
         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 you might come to California... I think you should

Chorus:
F            Bb    Gm            Bb
   Na, na-na, na. Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na.
F            Bb    Gm
   Na, na-na, na. Yeah...

Verse:
 Bb             F              C              Gm
   Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.
    Bb               F               Bb
And talked a little while about the year
Gm             Bb                F              C
   I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
           Gm            F               Bb
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not

show her
                Bb    F                    C           Gm
And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
      Bb                 F               Bb
Maybe this year will be better than the last
Gm           Bb               F               C
   I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself
   Gm               F               Bb
To hold on to these moments as they pass
         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
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean... I guess I should

Chorus:
F            Bb    Gm            Bb
   Na, na-na, na. Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na.
F            Bb    Gm
   Na, na-na, na. Yeah...
