[verse (1)]

C
Well, i shook hands with the devil down on the south side
Am
And he bought us both a drink
C
With a pad and a pencil sat by his side
Am
I said, tell me what you think

[pre-chorus]

Dm
I've been looking for my savior
C
Looking for my truth
G Am
I even asked my shrink
Dm
He brought me down to his level
C
Said, son, you're not special
G Am
You won't find him where you think

[chorus]

C
You won't find him down on sunset
Am
Or at a party in the hills
C
At the bottom of the bottle
Am
Or when you're tripping on some pills

Am
When they sold you the dream
C
You were just 16
G Am
Packed a bag and ran away
Am
And it's a crying shame
C
You came all this way
G Am
'cause you won't find jesus in 'LA
Dm
And it's a crying shame
C
You came all this way
Am
'cause you won't find jesus in 'LA

[verse (2)]

C
Took a sip of his whiskey
Said, now that you're with me
G Am
Well, i think that you should stay
C
Yeah, i know you've been busy
Searching through the city
G Am
So let me share the way

[pre-chorus]

Dm
I know i'm not your savior
C
Know i'm not your truth
G Am
But i think we could be friends
Dm
He said come down to my level
C
Hang out with the devil
G Am
Let me tell you, in the end

[chorus]

C
You won't find him down on sunset
Am
Or at a party in the hills
C
At the bottom of the bottle
Am
Or when you're tripping on some pills

Am
When they sold you the dream
C
You were just 16
G Am
Packed a bag and ran away
Am
And it's a crying shame
C
You came all this way
G Am
'cause you won't find jesus in 'LA
Dm
And it's a crying shame
C
You came all this way
Am
'cause you won't find jesus in 'LA

[bridge]

C
And that is when i knew that it was time to go home
G
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]

C
You won't find him down on sunset
Am
Or at a party in the hills
C
At the bottom of the bottle
Am
Or when you're tripping on some pills

Am
When they sold you the dream
C
You were just 16
G Am
Packed a bag and ran away
Am
And it's a crying shame
C
You came all this way
G Am
'cause you won't find jesus in 'LA
Dm
And it's a crying shame
C
You came all this way
Am
'cause you won't find jesus in 'LA
