Bb       F                  C            Gm 
A long December and there's reason to believe 
      Bb                F               Gm 
Maybe this year will be better than the last 
     Bb         F                   C   
I can't remember the last thing that you said 
   Gm          Bb 
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

              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 
Drove up to the Hillside Manor sometime after two 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
