Alec Benjamin (These Two Windows Album)

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

                      

'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA

Instrumental : Dm  C  G  Am (x2)

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

          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

                      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

                                G     Am7

Or when you're tripping on some pills

          Dm7                C

When they sold you the dream you were just 16

         G           Am7

Packed a bag and ran away

                   Dm7               C

And it's a crying shame you came 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     Am7

Or when I'm tripping on some pills

          Dm7               C

When they sold me the dream I was just 16

          G           Am

Packed my bag and ran away

                   Dm7               C

And it's a crying shame I came all this way

                    G        Am

'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA

                   Dm                 C

And it's a crying shame you came all this way

                    G

'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA
