[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              D           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
