[Bm] [F#] [A] [D]
[Bm] [D] A [A] long December and [E] there's reason to [Bm] believe
Maybe [D] this year will [A] be better [D] than the last
I [Bm] [D] can't remember the [A] last thing that you [E] said as you were [Bm] leaving
All the [A] days go by [D] so fast
And [A] it's one more day [D] up in the [Bm] canyon
[A] And it's one more [D] night in Hollywood

[D] Na-na-na-na [Bm]-na-na-na-na-na-na [A]-na-na-na [D]-na-na-na-na-na-na [Bm]-na-na-na-na, yeah
The [D] [A] smell of hospitals [E] and winter
[Bm] And the feeling that [D] it's all a lot [A] of oysters [D] but no pearl
And all at once you look [A] across a crowded [E] room
To see the [Bm] way that light [A] attaches to a [D] girl

[D] And talked a little [A] while about [D] the year
I guess the winter makes [A] you laugh a little [E] slower
[Bm] Makes you talk a [A] little lower
[D] About the things you could not show her
And it's been a [A] long December
[E] And there's reason [Bm] to believe
[D] Maybe this year [A] will be better [D] than
[Bm] I [D] can't remember all [A] the times I tried [E] to tell myself
[Bm] To hold on [A] to these moments [D] as they pass
[A] And it's one more [D] day up in the [F#m] canyon
And [A] it's one more night [D] in Hollywood
[Bm] It's been [A] so long since [D] I've seen the [Bm] ocean
[E] I guess I should
