Verse: 1
Dm
Well, I shook hands with the devil
Am
Down on the south side
G Am
And he bought us both a drink
Dm Am
With a pad and a pencil sat by his side
G Am
I said "Tell me what you think"
Pre-Chorus:
Dm Am
I've been looking for my savior, looking for my truth
G Am
I even asked my shrink
Dm
He brought me down to his level
Am G Am
Said "Son, you're not special, you won't find him where you think"
[Refrão]
Dm Am
You won't find him down on sunset
G Am
Or at a party in the hills
Dm Am
At the bottom of the bottle
G Am
Or when you're tripping on some pills
Dm Am
When they sold you the dream you were just 16
G Am
Packed a bag and ran away
Dm Am
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
G Am
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
Dm Am
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
G Am
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA

Verse: 2
Dm
Took a sip of his whiskey
Am G Am
Said, "Now that you're with me, well, I think that you should stay"
Dm
Yeah, I know you've been busy
Am
Searching through the city
G Am
So let me share the way
Pre-Chorus:
Dm
I know I'm not your savior
Am
Know I'm not your truth
G Am
But I think we could be friends
Dm Am
He said "Come down to my level, hang out with the devil
G Am
Let me tell you, in the end..."
[Refrão]

Bridge
Am
And that is when I knew that it was time to go home
G
And that is when I realized that I was alone
Am
And all the vibe and colors from the lights fade away
Dm Am
And I don't care what they say
[Refrão]
