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

I’ve been [Dm]looking for my [C]savior, looking for my truth I [G]even asked [Am]my shrink He brought me [Dm]down to his level, [C]said “Son, you’re not special You won’t [G]find him where [Am]you think”

You won’t find him down on [Dm]Sunset [C] Or at a party in the [G]hills [Am] At the bottom of the [Dm]bottle [C] Or when you’re tripping on some [G]pills [Am] When they [Dm]sold you the dream [C]you were just 16 Packed a [G]bag and ran [Am]away And it’s a crying [Dm]shame you came all [C]this way ‘Cause you won’t find [G]Jesus in [Am]LA And it’s a crying [Dm]shame you came all [C]this way ‘Cause you won’t find Jesus in LA

[Dm] [C] [G] [Am] [Dm] [C] [G] [Am] Took a [Dm]sip of his whiskey, [C]said “Now that you’re with me Well, I [G]think that you [Am]should stay” Yeah, I [Dm]know you’ve been busy [C]searching through the city So [G]let me share [Am]the way

I [Dm]know I’m not your [C]savior, know I’m not your truth But I [G]think we could [Am]be friends He said “Come [Dm]down to my level, [Am]hang out with the devil Let me [G]tell you, in [Am]the end”

[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]And I don’t care what they say [G]

I won’t find him down on [Dm]Sunset [C] Or at a party in the [G]hills [Am] At the bottom of the [Dm]bottle [C] Or when I’m tripping on some [G]pills [Am] When they [Dm]sold me the dream [C]I was just 16 Packed my [G]bag and ran [Am]away And it’s a crying [Dm]shame I came all [C]this way ‘Cause I won’t find [G]Jesus in [Am]LA And it’s a crying [Dm]shame you came all [C]this way ‘Cause I won’t find [G]Jesus in LA
