[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

           B                       E          A

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

Ooh, oo-oh, ooh, ooh a slave to the sugartooth

Ooh, oo-oh, ooh, ooh a slave to the sugartooth

Ooh, oo-oh, ooh, ooh a slave to the sugartooth
