Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Sugartooth” dari Brandi Carlile:

Capo 1

[Verse]
E
He wasn't really known for breaking the rules
                                     E7                     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
                           E7                   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
                            E7                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
                                          E7             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 a sugartooth

E
His life became more than he could take
                          E7           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 to help for the something sweet
                    E7                A
To make his life feel as 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 a sugartooth

C#m
He wanted to be a better man
                B                                      E
Then life kicked him down like an old tin can
A
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
                             E7                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
                          E7             A
Just to lose the battle and die alone
E
After so many years of feeling lost
        B                        A     E
He finally made his way back home

[Verse 4]
           E
And I heard they put what was left in a box
                           E7                 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 sign is left behind
                              E7            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 a sugartooth

C#m
He wanted to be a better man
           B                                     E
B
ut life kicked him down like an old tin can
A
He would give you the shirt on his back
    B                A      E
If not for a sugartooth

[Outro] (4x)
E              E7    A     E         B              A       E
Ooh, oo-oh, ooh, ooh a slave to a sugartooth
