Version 1
            [Verse 1]
              Dm7                  C
Well, I shook hands with the devil down on the south side
       G              Am7
And he bought us both a drink
       Dm7               C
With a pad and a pencil sat by his side
        G            Am7
I said "Tell me what you think"


[Pre-Chorus]
          Dm7                C
I've been looking for my savior, looking for my truth
  G          Am7
I even asked my shrink
              Dm7                 C
He brought me down to his level, said "Son, you're not special
          G              Am7
You won't find him where you think"


[Chorus]
                           Dm7    C
You won't find him down on Sunset
                     G     Am
Or at a party in the hills
                     Dm7    C
At the bottom of the bottle
                                G     Am
Or when you're tripping on some pills
          Dm7                C
When they sold you the dream you were just 16
         G           Am
Packed a bag and ran away
                   Dm7               C
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
                      G        Am
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
                   Dm                C
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
                      N.C.
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA


[Instrumental]
Dm  C  G  Am
Dm  C  G  Am


[Verse 2]
       Dm7                  C
Took a sip of his whiskey, said "Now that you're with me
        G              Am7
Well, I think that you should stay"
        Dm7                   C
Yeah, I know you've been busy   searching through the city
   G            Am7
So let me share the way


[Pre-Chorus]
  Dm7                   C
I know I'm not your savior, know I'm not your truth
      G              Am7
But I think we could be friends
              Dm7               Am7
He said "Come down to my level, hang out with the devil
       G            Am7
Let me tell you, in the end"


[Chorus]
                           Dm7    C
You won't find him down on Sunset
                     G     Am
Or at a party in the hills
                     Dm7    C
At the bottom of the bottle
                                G     Am
Or when you're tripping on some pills
          Dm7                C
When they sold you the dream you were just 16
         G           Am
Packed a bag and ran away
                   Dm7               C
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
                      G        Am
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
                   Dm                C
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
                      G        Am7
'Cause you won't find Jesus in 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                                 G
   And I don't care what they say


[Chorus]
                           Dm7    C
You won't find him down on Sunset
                     G     Am7
Or at a party in the hills
                     Dm7    C
At the bottom of the bottle
                                G     Am7
Or when you're tripping on some pills
          Dm7                C
When they sold you the dream you were just 16
         G           Am7
Packed a bag and ran away
                   Dm7               C
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
                      N.C.
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA


[Chorus]
                         Dm7    C
I won't find him down on Sunset
                     G     Am 
Or at a party in the hills
                     Dm7    C
At the bottom of the bottle
                             G     Am7
Or when I'm tripping on some pills
          Dm7               C
When they sold me the dream I was just 16
          G           Am
Packed my bag and ran away
                   Dm7               C
And it's a crying shame I came all this way
                    G        Am
'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA
                   Dm              C
And it's a crying shame I came all this way
                    G
'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA
