              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-Refrain]
          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"
 
[Refrain]
                           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

       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-Refrain]
  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"
[Refrain]
                           Dm7    C 
You won't find him down on Sunset

   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
