Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
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"

[Chorus 1]
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 sixteen
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

[Interlude 1]
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
[Dm][C][G][Am]
[Dm][C][G][Am]

[Verse 2]
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 sa[C]vior
Know I'm not your truth
But I [G]think we could [Am]be friends
He said "Come [Dm]down to my level
[C]Hang out with the devil
Let me [G]tell you, in [Am]the end

[Chorus 2]
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 sixteen
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 [G]Jesus in [Am]LA

[Bridge 1]
[C]And that is when I knew
that it was time to go home
[G]And that is when I realized
that I was [Am]alone
And all the vibrant colors
from the lights fade [F]away
And I don't care what they [G]say

[Chorus 3]
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 sixteen
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 Jesus in LA

[Chorus 4]
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 you're tripping on some [G]pills[Am]
When they [Dm]sold you the dream
[C]you were just sixteen
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 [G]Jesus in LA
