[Verse 1]
Well, I shook Dm7hands with the devil Cdown on the south side
And he Gbought us both Am7a drink
With a Dm7pad and a pencil sCat by his side
I said "GTell me what Am7you think"
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been Dm7looking for my saviCor, looking for my truth
I Geven asked Am7my shrink
He brought me Dm7down to his level, sCaid "Son, you're not special
You won't Gfind him where Am7you think"
[Chorus]
You won't find him down on Dm7SunsetC  
Or at a party in the GhillsAm  
At the bottom of the Dm7bottleC  
Or when you're tripping on some GpillsAm  
When they Dm7sold you the dream Cyou were just 16
Packed a Gbag and ran Amaway
And it's a crying sDm7hame you came all Cthis way
'Cause you won't find GJesus in AmLA
And it's a crying sDmhame you came all Cthis way
                      N.C.
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
[Instrumental]
Dm  C  G  Am
Dm  C  G  Am
[Verse 2]
Took a Dm7sip of his whiskey, sCaid "Now that you're with me
Well, I Gthink that you Am7should stay"
Yeah, I Dm7know you've been busy   Csearching through the city
So Glet me share Am7the way
[Pre-Chorus]
I Dm7know I'm not your saviCor, know I'm not your truth
But I Gthink we could Am7be friends
He said "Come Dm7down to my level, Am7hang out with the devil
Let me Gtell you, in Am7the end"
[Chorus]
You won't find him down on Dm7SunsetC  
Or at a party in the GhillsAm  
At the bottom of the Dm7bottleC  
Or when you're tripping on some GpillsAm  
When they Dm7sold you the dream Cyou were just 16
Packed a Gbag and ran Amaway
And it's a crying sDm7hame you came all Cthis way
'Cause you won't find GJesus in AmLA
And it's a crying sDmhame you came all Cthis way
'Cause you won't find GJesus in Am7LA
[Bridge]
   CAnd that is when I knew that it was time to go home
   G/BAnd that is when I realized that I was alone
   AmAnd all the vibrant colors from the lights fade away
   FAnd I don't care what they sayG  
[Chorus]
You won't find him down on Dm7SunsetC  
Or at a party in the GhillsAm7  
At the bottom of the Dm7bottleC  
Or when you're tripping on some GpillsAm7  
When they Dm7sold you the dream Cyou were just 16
Packed a Gbag and ran Am7away
And it's a crying sDm7hame you came all Cthis way
                      N.C.
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
[Chorus]
I won't find him down on Dm7SunsetC  
Or at a party in the GhillsAm  
At the bottom of the Dm7bottleC  
Or when I'm tripping on some GpillsAm7  
When they Dm7sold me the dream CI was just 16
Packed my Gbag and ran Amaway
And it's a crying sDm7hame I came all thCis way
'Cause I won't find GJesus in AmLA
And it's a crying sDmhame I came all Cthis way
'Cause I won't find GJesus in LA
