[INTRO] E E7 E [Verse]
EHe wasn't really known for breaking the rules Bm7add4 A When he arrived in the second year of my high school EHe wasn't so much of a twist of fate As a shBort turn up from a Southern state He was bEorn with a sweet tooth he couldn't beat Bm7add4 A Always trying to find himself something sweet EAll that he found was a trouble and me Or maybe tBrouble just found him
[Verse 2]
EIt was hard to hide that his heart had scars Bm7add4 A He would stay up late talking to the stars EPeople tried to blame him for making bad choices When Bhe was only listening to the voices EAnd looking for some kind of deeper truth Bm7add4 A Between the lines and the Bible and living proof EThere's no point now to judge him in vain If you hBaven't been there, you don't know the pain
[Chorus 1]
EHe was a liar, but not a fraud BLiving proof that there Ewas no God AJust the Devil, stiff as a rod A Bslave to theA sugartEooth
His Elife became more than he could take Bm7add4 A He found a bad habit he couldn't break ENothing could tame him and nothing could hold him BHe only took the pills when the doctor told him ELooking too hard for that something sweet Bm7add4 A To make his life feel less incomplete EWhat in the hell are you gonna do BWhen the world has made its mind up about you?
[Chorus 2]
EHe was a liar, but not a fraud BLiving proof that there Ewas no God AJust the Devil, stiff as a rod A Bslave to theA sugartEooth
C#mHe wanted to be a better man Then life kBicked him down like an oEld tin can A
He would give you the shirt on his back
If Bnot for a sAugartEooth [Verse 3] EThey found him lying on his bed Bm7add4 A With a gun in his hand and a quiet head EHis broken heart, now, is finally gone BBut I know that he had to hurt for too long ETo think he had fought it all on his own Bm7add4 A Just to lose the battle and die alone EAfter so many years of feeling lost He fBinally made his Away baBck homEe
[Verse 4]
And I Eheard they put what was left in a box Bm7add4 A And took it to a place called Jesus Rock AndE scattered him all over jagged mound As a sBymbol to all that the piece had been found ButE not for a son who's left behind Bm7add4 A With a hand stuck reaching back in time ETo a place in which you can never unwind I hope he fBound something so sweet
[Chorus 2]
EHe was a liar, but not a fraud BLiving proof that there Ewas no God AJust the Devil, stiff as a rod A Bslave to theA sugartEooth
C#mHe wanted to be a better man Then life kBicked him down like an oEld tin can A
He would give you the shirt on his back
If Bnot for a sAugartEooth
