Jesus In LA

[First Part]

              Dm7                  
Well, I shook hands with the devil 
C
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               
He brought me down to his level, 
  C
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
Or when you're tripping on some 
G     Am
pills
          Dm7                C
When they sold you the dream you 
were just 16
         G           Am
Packed a bag and ran away
                   Dm7             
And it's a crying shame you came 
  C
all this way
                      G        Am
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
                   Dm              
And it's a crying shame you came 
  C
all this way
                      N.C.
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA

( Dm  C  G  Am )
( Dm  C  G  Am )

[Second Part]

Continues after the ad
       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               
He said "Come down to my level, hang
Am7
 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
Or when you're tripping on some 
G     Am
pills
          Dm7                C
When they sold you the dream you 
were just 16
         G           Am
Packed a bag and ran away
                   Dm7             
And it's a crying shame you came 
  C
all this way
                      G        Am
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
                   Dm              
And it's a crying shame you came 
  C
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
Or when you're tripping on some 
G     Am7
pills
          Dm7                C
When they sold you the dream you 
were just 16
         G           Am7
Packed a bag and ran away
                   Dm7             
And it's a crying shame you came 
  C
all this way

'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     
Or when I'm tripping on some pills
Am7

          Dm7               C
When they sold me the dream I was 
just 16
          G           Am
Packed my bag and ran away
                   Dm7             
And it's a crying shame I came all 
  C
this way
                    G        Am
'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA
                   Dm              
And it's a crying shame you came 
   C
all this way
                    G
'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA
