G
Girl, our mamas are best friends and so are we
   Am
The whole town's rooting for us like the home team
   Em
Most likely to settle down
              C
Plant a few roots real deep, and let 'em grow

   G
But we can't stop this real world from spinnin' us
   Am
Your bright lights called, I don't blame you for pickin' up
   Em                                                  C
Your big dream bags are all packed up and ready to go

I just need you to know

            G
I love you more than a California sunset
            Am
More than a beer when you ain't twenty-one yet
            Em
More than a Sunday morning Lord
                               C
Turnin' some poor lost souls 'round, Hallelujah bound, Yeah

            G
I love you more than the feeling when the bass hits a hook
          Am
When the guy gets the girl at the end of the book
           Em                                                 C
But, baby, this might be the last time I get to lay you down

'Cause I can't love you more than my hometown

 G
I ain't the runaway kind, I can't change that
   Am
My heart's stuck in these streets like the train tracks
  Em
City sky ain't the same black
              C
Ain't that a map dot shame, man, to think that

            G
I love you more than a California sunset
             Am
More than a beer when you ain't twenty-one yet
              Em
More than a Sunday morning Lord
                               C
Turnin' some poor lost souls round, Hallelujah bound, Yeah

            G
I love you more than the feeling when the bass hits a hook
          Am
When the guy gets the girl at the end of the book
            Em                                                C
But, baby, this might be the last time I get to lay you down

'Cause I can't love you more than my hometown

                 G
Yeah, you got a wild in your eyes that I just wasn't born with
       Am
I'm a same gas station cup of coffee in the mornin'
            Em
I need the house on the hill, girl, not in 'em
                     C
So hang onto these words 'til them avenues help you forget 'em

                    G
'Cause I love you more than a California sunset
             Am
I love you more in a twenty-dollar sundress
            Em
Hate that loaded down car you got your keys in
             C
Girl, but I hate even more that you're leavin'

                   G
'Cause I love you more than the feeling when the bass hits a hook
          Am
When the guy gets the girl at the end of the book
           Em                                            C
But that ain't you and me so I guess I'll see you around

'Cause I can't love you more than my hometown

G                              Am
Love you more than my hometown
                               Em
Love you more than my hometown
                       C
Love you more, baby, love you more
