[INTRO]
E E7 E
[Verse]
E
He wasn't really known for breaking the rules
Bm7add4 A
When he arrived in the second year of my high school
E
He wasn't so much of a twist of fate
B
As a short turn up from a Southern state
E
He was born with a sweet tooth he couldn't beat
Bm7add4 A
Always trying to find himself something sweet
E
All that he found was a trouble and me
B
Or maybe trouble just found him
[Verse 2]
E
It was hard to hide that his heart had scars
Bm7add4 A
He would stay up late talking to the stars
E
People tried to blame him for making bad choices
B
When he was only listening to the voices
E
And looking for some kind of deeper truth
Bm7add4 A
Between the lines and the Bible and living proof
E
There's no point now to judge him in vain
B
If you haven't been there, you don't know the pain
[Chorus 1]
E
He was a liar, but not a fraud
B E
Living proof that there was no God
A
Just the Devil, stiff as a rod
B A E
A slave to the sugartooth
E
His life became more than he could take
Bm7add4 A
He found a bad habit he couldn't break
E
Nothing could tame him and nothing could hold him
B
He only took the pills when the doctor told him
E
Looking too hard for that something sweet
Bm7add4 A
To make his life feel less incomplete
E
What in the hell are you gonna do
B
When the world has made its mind up about you?
[Chorus 2]
E
He was a liar, but not a fraud
B E
Living proof that there was no God
A
Just the Devil, stiff as a rod
B A E
A slave to the sugartooth
C#m
He wanted to be a better man
B E A
Then life kicked him down like an old tin can
He would give you the shirt on his back
B A E
If not for a sugartooth
[Verse 3]
E
They found him lying on his bed
Bm7add4 A
With a gun in his hand and a quiet head
E
His broken heart, now, is finally gone
B
But I know that he had to hurt for too long
E
To think he had fought it all on his own
Bm7add4 A
Just to lose the battle and die alone
E
After so many years of feeling lost
B A B E
He finally made his way back home
[Verse 4]
E
And I heard they put what was left in a box
Bm7add4 A
And took it to a place called Jesus Rock
E
And scattered him all over jagged mound
B
As a symbol to all that the piece had been found
E
But not for a son who's left behind
Bm7add4 A
With a hand stuck reaching back in time
E
To a place in which you can never unwind
B
I hope he found something so sweet
[Chorus 2]
E
He was a liar, but not a fraud
B E
Living proof that there was no God
A
Just the Devil, stiff as a rod
B A E
A slave to the sugartooth
C#m
He wanted to be a better man
B E A
Then life kicked him down like an old tin can
He would give you the shirt on his back
B A E
If not for a sugartooth
[Outro]
E Bm7add4 A E B A E
Ooh, oo-oh, ooh, ooh a slave to the sugartooth
E Bm7add4 A E B A E
Ooh, oo-oh, ooh, ooh a slave to the sugartooth
E Bm7add4 A E B A E
Ooh, oo-oh, ooh, ooh a slave to the sugartooth
E Bm7add4 A E B A E
Ooh, oo-oh, ooh, ooh a slave to the sugartooth
