Sugartooth chords by Brandi Carlile
Verse 1
D
He wasn't really known
for breaking the rules
When he arrived in the second
G
year of my high school
D
He wasn't so much of a twist of fate
A
As a short turn up from
a Southern state
D
He was born with a sweet
tooth he couldn't beat
Always trying to find himself
G
something sweet
D
All that he found was a trouble and me
A
Or maybe trouble just found him
Verse 2
D
It was hard to hide that
his heart had scars
He would stay up late
G
talking to the stars
D
People tried to blame him
for making bad choices
A
When he was only listening to the voices
D
And searching for some kind
of deeper truth
Between the lines and the Bible
G
and living proof
D
There's no point now
to judge him in vain
A
If you haven't been there,
Verse 3
you don't know the pain
D
He was a liar, but not a fraud
A
D
Living proof that there was no God
G
Just the devil, stiff as a rod
A
G
D
A slave to a sugartooth
Verse 4
D
His life became more than he could take
He found a bad habit
G
he couldn't break
D
Nothing could tame him and
nothing could hold him
A
He only took the pills when the
doctor told him
D
Looking to help for the something sweet
G
To make his life feel less incomplete
D
What in the hell are you going to do
A
When the world has made
its mind up about you?
D
He was a liar, but
Verse 5
not a fraud
A

Just the Devil, stiff as a rod

He wanted to be
Verse 6
a better man
A
D
Then life kicked him down like an old tin can
G
He would give you the shirt on his back
A
G
D
If not for a sugartooth They
found him lying on his bed
G
With a gun in his hand and a quiet head
D
His broken heart, now, is finally gone
A
But I know that he had to hurt for too long
D
To think he had fought it all on his own
G
Just to lose the battle and die alone
D
After so many years of feeling the loss
A
G
A
D
He fi nally made his way back home
Verse 7
D
And I heard they put what was left in a box
G
And took it to a place called Je sus Rock
D
And scattered him all over jagged mound
A
As a symbol to all that
the peace had been found
D
But not for a sign is left behind
G
With a hand stuck reaching back in time
D
To a place in which you can never unwind
A
I hope he found something so sweet

Just the Devil, stiff as a rod
