[Intro]
G Cmaj7
G Cmaj7
[Verse 1]
G
I'm more mountains and rivers
D
Than oceans and waves
Dm E7
I'm more moonshine and whiskey, than vineyards and grapes
Am7 D
I'm more back roads and dives than Hollywood signs
G D Em
I'm more sit by the juke box than lines out the door
Am7
No, I'm not from California
D G
I'm from somewhere you ain't anymore
[Verse 2]
G
I'm more stars in the sky
D
Than stars on the sidewalk
Dm E7
I'm more old wooden pew than bench on the boardwalk
Am7 D
I'm more kiss you and mean it, than love you and leave it
G Bm Em
I'm more roots in the ground than footprints on the shore
Am7
No, I'm not from California
D G
I'm from somewhere you ain't anymore
[Chorus]
B7
You're out there dreamin'
Em D A
While I'm back here drinkin' over us
Am D
No, I'm not from California
G
But tonight I wish I was
[Post-Chorus]
C Em D C
C
[Verse 3]
G
I'm more act tough and fake it
D
Than find a flight and take it
Dm E7
But I'm too late to say I'm sorry for all I'm sorry for
Am7 D
I'm not from California, but you can't say I didn't warn you
G D Em
That I'm the guy who's gonna die right where he was born
Am7
No, I'm not from California
D G Cmaj7
I'm from somewhere you ain't anymore
[Outro]
