Sugartooth

E  E7  E

[Verse]
E
He wasn't really known for breaking 
the rules
                         Bm7add4   
When he arrived in the second year 
        A
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     
Always trying to find himself 
        A
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          
He would stay up late talking to the
A
 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 
Between the lines and the Bible and
       A
 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
Continues after the ad
               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       
To make his life feel less 
    A
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                     
Then life kicked him down like an 
  E          A
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         
With a gun in his hand and a quiet 
A
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      
Just to lose the battle and die 
   A
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
old tin can

He would give you the shirt on his 
back
   B          A    E
If not for a sugartooth
