[Verse]
(A)      E                  B           F#m
A long December and there's reason to believe
      A                 E               A
Maybe this year will be better than the last
 F#m             A       E                   B
   I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were
F#m
leavin'
        E             A~
Now the days go by so fast


[Pre-chorus]
         E               A         F#m
And it's one more day up in the canyons
         E              A          F#m
And it's one more night in Hollywood
       E                  A     F#m        \
If you think that I could be forgiven... I wish you would.


[Chorus]
E            A    F#m            A
   Na, na-na, na. Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na.
E            A    F#m
   Na, na-na, na. Yeah...


[Verse]
A              E            B
  The smell of hospitals in winter
        F#m                A            E
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters
       A
but no pearls
F#m        A              E               B
   All at once you look across a crowded room
           F#m               E           A
To see the way that light attaches to a girl


[Pre-chorus]
         E               A         F#m
And it's one more day up in the canyons
         E                 A       F#m
And it's one more night in Hollywood
       E               A           F#m         \
If you think you might come to California... I think you should


[Chorus]
E            A    F#m            A
   Na, na-na, na. Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na.
E            A    F#m
   Na, na-na, na. Yeah...


[Solo]
E   A   F#m   A
E   A   F#m


[Verse]
 A             E              B              F#m
   Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two A.M.
    A               E               A    F#m
And talked a little while about the year
F#m             A                E              B
   I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
           F#m            E               A
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not
show her
                A    E                    B           F#m
And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
      A                 E               A
Maybe this year will be better than the last
          A               E               B
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself
   F#m               E               A~
To hold on to these moments as they pass


[Pre-chorus]
         E               A         F#m
And it's one more day up in the canyons
         E              A          F#m
And it's one more night in Hollywood
     E                       A            F#m~
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean... I guess I should


[Chorus 4x]
E            A    F#m            A
   Na, na-na, na. Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na.
E            A    F#m
   Na, na-na, na. Yeah...
