[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
