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
-nc-
'Cause you won't find Jesus in la
Interlude -x2-: 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

When they sold you the dream you were just 16
G Am
Packed a bag and ran away
Dm7 C

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
