Intro
G   Am   Em   C 
 
Verse 1
G 
Girl our mama's were best friends and so 
            Am 
We had the whole town was rooting for us like the home team 
Em                                                   C 
Most likely to settle down, plant a few roots real deep and let ‘em grow 
 
G 
We can’t stop this real world from spinning us 
Am 
Bright lights called, I don’t blame you for picking up 
Em                                             C 
Your big dream bags are all packed up and ready to go 
 
But I just need you to know 
 
Chorus
                G 
That I love you more than a California sunset 
                Am 
More than a beer when you ain’t 21 yet 
                Em                                           C 
More than a Sunday morning Lord turning some poor lost soul found 
And halleluiah bound 
 
           G 
I love you more than a feeling when a bass hits a hook 
          Am 
When the guy gets the girl at the end of the book 
           Em                                     C 
Well baby, this might be the last time I get to lay you down 
                                          G 
Cause I can’t love you more than my hometown 
 
Verse 2
G 
Yeah I ain’t the runaway kind, I can’t change that 
Am 
My heart’s stuck in these streets like a train track 
Em 
City sky ain’t the same black 
               C 
Ain't that a map dot saying to think that 
 
Chorus
                G 
That I love you more than a California sunset 
                Am 
More than a beer when you ain’t 21 yet 
                Em                                                C 
More than a sunny morning lord turning sound turning lost and found 
 
And halleluiah bound 
 
                        G 
I love you more than a feeling when a bass hits a hook 
          Am 
When the guy gets the girl at the end of the book 
            Em                                   C 
Well baby, this might be the last time I get to lay you down 
                                          G 
Cause I can’t love you more than my hometown 
 
Verse 3
           G 
You got a wild in your eyes that I just wasn’t born with 
          Am 
I’m the same gas station cup of coffee in the morning 
          Em                                                    C 
I need a house on the hill girl not in ‘em so hold onto these words 
 
Cause them avenues help you forget ‘em 
 
Chorus
                 G 
Cause I love you more than a California sunset 
                Am 
I love you more than a twenty dollar sun dress 
                Em 
Hate that loaded down car you got your keys in, girl 
        C 
But I hate even more that you’re leaving 
- 
                  G 
Cause I love you more than a feeling when a 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 just see you around 
                                        G 
Cause I can’t love you more than my hometown 
- 
                      Am 
Love you more than my hometown 
                      Em 
Love you more than my hometown 
                      C 
Love you more, baby, love you more
