More than my hometown    (video)

 

    D - G - Bm - G

 

       D

1. Girl, our mamas are best friends and so are we,

               G

    the whole town's rooting for us like the home team.

Bm

    Most likely to settle down,

                         G

    plant a few roots real deep and let 'em grow.

 

            D

2. But we can't stop this real world from spinnin' us,

               G

    your bright lights called, I don't blame you for pickin' up.

             Bm                                                                      G

    Your big dream bags are all packed up and ready to go.

 

    But I just need you to know :

 

                            D

That I love you more than a California sunset,

                       G

more than a beer when you ain't twenty-one yet,

                     Bm

more than a Sunday morning, Lord,

                                               G

turnin' some poor lost souls 'round, and Hallelujah bound.

                              D

Yeah, I love you more than the feeling when the bass hits the hook,

                  G

when the guy gets the girl at the end of the book,

                 Bm                                                               G

but, baby, this might be the last time I get to lay you down,

                                                                      D

'cause I can't love you more than my hometown.

 

   D

3. I ain't the runaway kind, I can't change that

      G

    my heart's stuck in these streets like the train tracks.

Bm

    City sky ain't the same black,

                         G

    ain't that a map dot shame, man, to think that :       +  CHORUS

 

                                D

+  Yeah, you got a wild in your eyes that I just wasn't born with,

               G

    I'm a same gas station cup of coffee in the mornin'.

                   Bm

    I need a house on the hill, girl, not in 'em,

                                      G

    so hang onto these words 'til them avenues help you forget 'em.

 

                                D

'Cause I love you more than a California sunset,

                    G

I love you more in a twenty-dollar sundress.

                 Bm

Hate that loaded down car you got your keys in,

                 G

girl, but I hate even more that you're leavin'.

                                D

'Cause I love you more than the feeling when the bass hits a hook,

                  G

when the guy gets the girl at the end of the book.

              Bm                                                              G

But that ain't you and me, so I guess I'll see you around,

                                                                      D

'cause I can't love you more than my hometown !

 

                                                     G

+  Love you more than my hometown !

                                                    Bm

    Love you more than my hometown !

                                         G                      - D

    Love you more, baby, love you more.
