[C] [G] [D] [Am] [C] [G] [C] [G]

[C]A long [G]December and there's [D]reason to beli[Am]eve
Maybe [C]this year will be [G]better than the [C]last
I can't [G]remember the [D]last thing that you [Am]said as 
you were [C]leavin' now the [G]days go by so [C]fast

And it's [G]one more day up [C]in the can[Am]yons
And it's [G]one more night in [C]Hollywood [Am]
If you [G]think that I could [C]be forgiv[Am]en...
I wish you would

Chorus: [G] [C] [Am] [D]   [G] [C] [Am]

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

And it's [G]one more day up [C]in the can[Am]yons
And it's [G]one more night in [C]Hollywood [Am]
If you [G]think you might come to [C]Californi[Am]a...
I think you should


[C]Drove up to [G]Hillside Manor [D]sometime after [Am]two a.m.
And [C]talked a little [G]while about the [C]year
I guess the [G]winter makes you [D]laugh a little [Am]slower,
Makes you [C]talk a little [G]lower about 
the [C]things you could not show her

And it's been a [C]long [G]December and
there's [D]reason to [Am]believe
Maybe [C]this year will be [G]better than the [C]last
I can't [G]remember all the [D]times I tried
to [Am]tell my myself to [C]hold on to these
[G]moments as they [C]pass

And it's [G]one more day up [C]in the can[Am]yons
And it's [G]one more night in [C]Hollywood [Am]
It's been [G]so long since I've [C]seen the ocean[Am]...
I guess I should
