[Verse 1]
Dm7 C
Well I shook hands with the devil down on the south side
G Am7
And he bought us both a drink
Dm7 C
With a pad and a pencil sat by his side
G Am7
I said Tell me what you think
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm7 C
I've been looking for my savior looking for my truth
G Am7
I even asked my shrink
Dm7 C
He brought me down to his level said Son you're not special
G Am7
You won't find him where you think
[Chorus]
Dm7 C
You won't find him down on Sunset
G Am
Or at a party in the hills
Dm7 C
At the bottom of the bottle
G Am
Or when you're tripping on some pills
Dm7 C
When they sold you the dream you were just 1
G Am
Packed a bag and ran away
Dm7 C
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
G Am
Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
Dm C
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
N.C.
Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
[Instrumental]
Dm C G Am
Dm C G Am
[Verse 2]
Dm7 C
Took a sip of his whiskey said Now that you're with me
G Am7
Well I think that you should stay
Dm7 C
Yeah I know you've been busy searching through the city
G Am7
So let me share the way
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm7 C
I know I'm not your savior know I'm not your truth
G Am7
But I think we could be friends
Dm7 Am7
He said Come down to my level hang out with the devil
G Am7
Let me tell you in the end
[Chorus]
Dm7 C
You won't find him down on Sunset
G Am
Or at a party in the hills
Dm7 C
At the bottom of the bottle
G Am
Or when you're tripping on some pills
Dm7 C
When they sold you the dream you were just 1
G Am
Packed a bag and ran away
Dm7 C
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
G Am
Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
Dm C
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
G Am7
Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
[Bridge]
C
And that is when I knew that it was time to go home
G/B
And that is when I realized that I was alone
Am
And all the vibrant colors from the lights fade away
F G
And I don't care what they say
[Chorus]
Dm7 C
You won't find him down on Sunset
G Am7
Or at a party in the hills
Dm7 C
At the bottom of the bottle
G Am7
Or when you're tripping on some pills
Dm7 C
When they sold you the dream you were just 1
G Am7
Packed a bag and ran away
Dm7 C
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
N.C.
Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
[Chorus]
Dm7 C
I won't find him down on Sunset
G Am
Or at a party in the hills
Dm7 C
At the bottom of the bottle
G Am7
Or when I'm tripping on some pills
Dm7 C
When they sold me the dream I was just 1
G Am
Packed my bag and ran away
Dm7 C
And it's a crying shame I came all this way
G Am
Cause I won't find Jesus in LA
Dm C
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
G
Cause I won't find Jesus in LA
