Intro: D(F) G(Bb) Em(Gm) G(Bb)
       D(F) G(Bb) Em(Gm)...(add7)?  <-----(not too sure)


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

G(Bb)         D(F)            A(C)            Em(Gm)
Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.
      G(Bb)             D(F)           G(Bb)
And talked a little while about the year
Em(Gm)            G(Bb)        D(F)            A(C)
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
           Em(Gm)          D(F)            G(Bb)
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her


                G(Bb)    D(F)               A(C)        Em(Gm)
And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
         G(Bb)            D(F)             G(Bb)
Maybe this year will be better than the last
Em(Gm)       G(Bb)        D(F)            A(C)
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
        Em(Gm)        D(F)             G(Bb)
To hold on to these moments as they pass
            D(F)         G(Bb)            Em(Gm)
And it's one more day up in the canyon
            D(F)            G(Bb)         Em(Gm)
And it's one more night in Hollywood
           D(F)               G(Bb)        Em(Gm)...NC |
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean...    I guess I should
(do this next part 4X)     (on 3rd time you can play the solo over,
D(F)      G(Bb)            but it might not sound good without at least
Na na na na                2 guitars.)
Em(Gm)      G(Bb)
Na na na na na na na na na
D(F)      G(Bb)   Em(Gm)
