This is a great song by one of my favorite punk bands, MxPx.
It’s not too tough to play, but it IS fun to play! Here it is:

[Verse]
C                         G                       Eii
It eats away at you I know, so hard to let it go, let
                      Fii     Gii      C
yourself go, yah just let yourself go. It consumes you can’t
       G                          Eii
you see that sin hates everybody. Everybody sin hates
Fii  Gii
everybody.
C             G               Eii              Fii    Gii
Even though I know the reason why it breaks me down I wanna
     C            G            Eii                  Fii
cry. I search for comfort in a friend, when will my troubles
Gii      C  G      Eii Fii  Gii  C  G       Eii Fii Gii
ever end. . . Ever end,     ever end,  never end. . . .

[Chorus]
C                        F                             E
Sugarcoated poison apple tastes so good that you can’t see
                                      F                 G
the death and decay that’s inside and what it’s done to me.
C                        F
The sugarcoated poison apple tastes so good how could you
E                            F                  G
know it’s deceitful lies and where you’re gonna go. You will
C    C  C
know!

C  C  C  G  B (4x)

That’s pretty much all you need to know. At the end, play the chorus
chords with no lyrics, and end on a C.
