All at once you look across a crowded room

To see the way that light attaches to a girl *(and fill 3 here)

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 Gm
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
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 *(fill 2)
Gm Bb F C Gm
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
F Bb
To hold on to these moments as they pass *(fill 4)
F Bb Gm
And it's one more day up in the canyon *(fill 5, played w/ a slide)
F Bb Gm
And it's one more night in Hollywood
F Bb Gm
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean... I guess I should
F Bb

Gm Bb

F Bb Am Am
