Verse 1
Well, I shook [Dm7]hands with the devil [C]down on the south side
And he [G]bought us both [Am7]a drink
With a [Dm7]pad and a pencil s[C]sat by his side
I said "[G]"Tell me what [Am7]you think"
 
 
Pre-Chorus
I've been [Dm7]looking for my savi[C]savior, looking for my truth
I [G]even asked [Am7]my shrink
He brought me [Dm7]down to his level, s[C]said "Son, you're not special
You won't [G]find him where [Am7]you think"
 
 
Chorus
You won't find him down on [Dm7]Sunset [C]
Or at a party in the [G]hills [Am]
At the bottom of the [Dm7]bottle [C]
Or when you're tripping on some [G]pills [Am]
When they [Dm7]sold you the dream [C]you were just 16
Packed a [G]bag and ran [Am]away
And it's a crying s[Dm7]shame you came all [C]this way
'Cause you won't find [G]Jesus in [Am]LA
And it's a crying s[Dm]shame you came all [C]this way
 
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
 
 
Instrumental
[Dm] [C] [G] [Am] [Dm] [C] [G] [Am]
 
 
Verse 2
Took a [Dm7]sip of his whiskey, s[C]said "Now that you're with me
Well, I [G]think that you [Am7]should stay"
Yeah, I [Dm7]know you've been busy [C] searching through the city
So [G]let me share [Am7]the way
 
 
Pre-Chorus
I [Dm7]know I'm not your savi[C]savior, know I'm not your truth
But I [G]think we could [Am7]be friends
He said "Come [Dm7]down to my level, [Am7]hang out with the devil
Let me [G]tell you, in [Am7]the end"
 
 
Chorus
You won't find him down on [Dm7]Sunset [C]
Or at a party in the [G]hills [Am]
At the bottom of the [Dm7]bottle [C]
Or when you're tripping on some [G]pills [Am]
When they [Dm7]sold you the dream [C]you were just 16
Packed a [G]bag and ran [Am]away
And it's a crying s[Dm7]shame you came all [C]this way
'Cause you won't find [G]Jesus in [Am]LA
And it's a crying s[Dm]shame you came all [C]this way
'Cause you won't find [G]Jesus in [Am7]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] And I don't care what they say [G]
 
 
Chorus
You won't find him down on [Dm7]Sunset [C]
Or at a party in the [G]hills [Am7]
At the bottom of the [Dm7]bottle [C]
Or when you're tripping on some [G]pills [Am7]
When they [Dm7]sold you the dream [C]you were just 16
Packed a [G]bag and ran [Am7]away
And it's a crying s[Dm7]shame you came all [C]this way
 
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
 
 
Chorus
I won't find him down on [Dm7]Sunset [C]

When they [Dm7]sold me the dream [C]I was just 16
Packed my [G]bag and ran [Am]away
And it's a crying s[Dm7]shame I came all th[C]this way
'Cause I won't find [G]Jesus in [Am]LA
And it's a crying s[Dm]shame you came all t[C]this way
'Cause I won't find [G]Jesus in LA
