            G                      C          G C
I've got a love and hate relationship with LA
Off the plane, paint my face in the car, park my heart at the valet
I watch the sun sink down over Santa Monica Boulevard
When I'm lonely and I'm missin' home
But other times, I feel like my blood is runnin' Cali

Chorus:
               G                  C
I've got some famous friends that I could call
       G                       C
But I don't know if I'm cool enough
            G                 C
And what's worse than spendin' time alone
   G                       C
Is one of them not pickin' up
      G           C             D
It's hard to grow and time to go
                        C G
But some days I wanna stay

I've got a love and hate relationship with LA
I've got a love and hate relationship with LA

I wonder if I'll get invited to the party
(I wonder if I'll get invited to the party)
Yeah, and if I do, will I go?
If I go, will I know somebody? (Will I know somebody?)
I'm on my third glass of wine tryin' to find conversation
In a room with bigger names
But other days, I'm lookin' up the real estate

Chorus:
Confetti's fallin', friends are callin'
Saw me on the TV
But if I let down my hair in the ocean air
Will Tennessee be mad at me?
Yeah, I know it ain't a one-way road
But sometimes, it feels that way
I've got a love and hate relationship with LA
(I've got a love and hate relationship with LA)

Yeah, ooh, ooh
Yeah, ooh, ooh

Chorus:
And sometimes, it feels like it's all real
But nothin' here is as it seems
I ask myself, does it feed my soul or my anxiety?
Carpet's red, ego's fed, but it's myself that I have to face
I've got a love and hate relationship with LA
(I've got a love and hate relationship with LA)

(Yeah, ooh, ooh) I've got a love and hate relationship with LA, LA
(Yeah, ooh, ooh) I've got a love and hate relationship with LA, LA
(Yeah, ooh, ooh) I've got a love and hate relationship with LA, LA
(Yeah, ooh, ooh) I've got a love and hate relationship with LA, LA
