[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 16

         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 16

         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 16

         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

'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA

                   Dm              C
And it's a crying shame I came all this way

                    G
