G        D                  A            Em
A long December and there's reason to believe
      G                 D               G
Maybe this year will be better than the last
  Em      G          D                   A
I can't remember the last thing that you said
            Em
as you were leavin'
        D             G
Now the days go by so fast
         D               G          Em    G
And it's one more day up in the canyons
         D                 G        Em    G
And it's one more night in Hollywood
       D                  G         Em -stop-           D
If you think that I could be forgiven...I wish you would
  G    Em  G  ....
nanananananananana..
