[Verse 1]
              Dm
Well, I shook hands with the devil

             Am
Down on the south side

        G                Am
And he bought us both a drink

        Dm               Am
With a pad and a pencil sat by his side

         G                 Am
I said "Tell me what you think"
[Pre-Chorus]
            Dm                Am
I've been looking for my savior, looking for my truth

   G         Am
I even asked my shrink

               Dm
He brought me down to his level

 Am                                       G                   Am
Said "Son, you're not special, you won't find him where you think"
[Chorus]
                                Dm  Am
You won't find him down on sunset

                           G  Am
Or at a party in the hills

                            Dm  Am
At the bottom of the bottle

                                      G  Am
Or when you're tripping on some pills

           Dm                 Am
When they sold you the dream you were just 16

          G           Am
Packed a bag and ran away

                   Dm                 Am
And it's a crying shame you came all this way

                        G      Am
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA

                   Dm                 Am
And it's a crying shame you came all this way

                        G      Am
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
[Interlude] Dm Am G Am Dm Am G Am [Verse 2]
           Dm
Took a sip of his whiskey

 Am                                       G               Am
Said, "Now that you're with me, well, I think that you should stay"

         Dm
Yeah, I know you've been busy

Am
  Searching through the city

    G            Am
So let me share the way
[Pre-Chorus]
   Dm
I know I'm not your savior

Am
  Know I'm not your truth

        G            Am
But I think we could be friends

               Dm                Am
He said "Come down to my level, hang out with the devil

         G           Am
Let me tell you, in the end"
[Chorus]
                                 Dm  Am
You won't find him down on sunset

                           G  Am
Or at a party in the hills

                            Dm  Am
At the bottom of the bottle

                                      G  Am
Or when you're tripping on some pills

           Dm                 Am
When they sold you the dream you were just 16

          G           Am
Packed a bag and ran away

                   Dm                 Am
And it's a crying shame you came all this way

                        G      Am
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA

                   Dm                 Am
And it's a crying shame you came all this way

                        G      Am
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
[Bridge]
Am
   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 vibe and colors from the lights fade away

Dm                               Am
   And I don't care what they say
[Chorus]
                                  Dm  Am
You won't find him down on sunset

                           G  Am
Or at a party in the hills

                            Dm  Am
At the bottom of the bottle

                                      G  Am
Or when you're tripping on some pills

           Dm                 Am
When they sold you the dream you were just 16

          G           Am
Packed a bag and ran away

                   Dm                 Am
And it's a crying shame you came all this way

                        G      Am
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA

                                Dm  Am
I won't find him down on sunset

                           G  Am
Or at a party in the hills

                            Dm  Am

When they sold me the dream I was just 16

           G           Am
Packed my bag and ran away

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