    [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

    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

    At the bottom of the bottle
    G Am
    Or when you\’re tripping on some pills

    \’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] (One Strum)
    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
