Bb       F                  C            Gm     
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     
               Gm 
as you were leavin'     
        F             Bb     
Now the days go by so fast     
         F               Bb         Gm    Bb     
And it's one more day up in the canyons     
         F                 Bb       Gm    Bb     
And it's one more night in Hollywood     
       F                  Bb        Gm -stop-           F       
If you think that I could be forgiven...I wish you would

Bb            F              C   
The smell of hospitals in winter    
           Gm              Bb            F               Bb      
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no 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    Bb   
And it's one more day up in the canyons     
          F                Bb        Gm     Bb   
And it's one more night in Hollywood     
         F                Bb          Gm -stop-                 F   
If you think that I could be forgiven...         I wish you would

Bb                F               C            Gm  
Drove up to the 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 
Makes you talk a little lower about   
      Bm  
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              Bm 
Maybe this year will be better than the last  
Gm        Bb                F              C  
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself   
     Gm                F             Bb  
To hold on to these moments as they pass     
          F              Bb         Gm   Bb  
And it's one more day up in the canyon   
          F              Bb         Gm   Bb   
And it's one more night in Hollywood        
           F                  Bb         Gm                   F  
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean...I guess I should
