A#        F                  C           Gm
A long December and there's reason to believe
       A#              F                 A#
Maybe this year will be better than the last
Gm         A#         F                   C
I can't remember the last thing that you said
             Gm
as you were leavin'
         F          A#
Now the days go by so fast

Chorus:
         F               A#         Gm A#
And it's one more day up in the canyons
         F                 A#       Gm
And it's one more night in Hollywood
         F                A#        Gm
If you think that I could be forgiven...
             F
I wish you would

The smell of hospitals in winter
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

Chorus:
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 2 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
I can't remember all the times I tried
to tell my myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass

Chorus:
And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean
I guess I should
