C    G                    D         Am
A long December and there's reason to believe
           C           G               C  *(Gtr plays fill 1)
Maybe this year will be better than the last
Am      C           G                   D                Am
I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leavin'

                                          These notes played 1st
                                          time only
         G               C            Am             
And it's one more day up in the canyons
         G                 C          Am
And it's one more night in Hollywood
       G                  C         Am
If you think that I could be forgiven... I wish you would

G     C
Na na na na
Am          C
Na na na na na na na na na
G     C    Am
Na na na na yeah

he 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

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
