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


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


[Chorus]
A            D    Bm            D
   Na, na-na, na. Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na.
A            D    Bm
   Na, na-na, na. Yeah...


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


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


[Chorus]
A            D    Bm            D
   Na, na-na, na. Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na.
A            D    Bm
   Na, na-na, na. Yeah...


[Solo]
A   D   Bm   D
A   D   Bm


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


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


[Chorus 4x]
A            D    Bm            D
   Na, na-na, na. Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na.
A            D    Bm
   Na, na-na, na. Yeah...
