A Long December

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                Gm
   I can't remember the last thing  you said as you were leavin'
        F             Bb
Now the days go by so fast

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

F         Bb
Na na na na
Gm          Bb
Na na na na na na na na na
F         Bb       Gm
Na na na na yeah

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

                F                       Bb                   Gm
And it's one more day up in the canyons
                F                          Bb                 Gm
And it's one more night in Hollywood
                F                                Bb            Gm   Bb..
If you think you might come to California.        ..I think you should

Bb                   F                        C                   Gm
Drove up to 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                        Bb
Makes you talk a little lower about 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                    Bb
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                                            Bb
To hold on to these moments as they pass
                F                        Bb                 Gm
And it's one more day up in the canyon
                F                           Bb            Gm
And it's one more night in Hollywood
                F                         Bb           Gm   Bb..
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean...          I guess I should

(DO THE "NA NA NA" THING AGAIN RIGHT HERE)
