This is my favorite song by a great California punk band, Ten Foot Pole.
The solo for this song was actually played by Chris Shiflett, the lead
guitarist for No Use For A Name, another awesome band. Anyway, here it is:

Lyrics:
(Verse):
It's funny how a little truth can put things in perspective.
Usually I try to hide from all of life's unpleasantries,
like corruption, lies and users, try to ignore all the abusers, but
sometimes truth just slaps me in the face.
(Chorus):
And I can't hide. Try to deny deception, but now I see the other side, I
can't hide. Try to regain my innocence but something's changed inside.
(Verse):
Funny how perceptions change when you know secret history.
Suddenly you see right past the thin veil of diplomacy, like the smiles
that invite glare at you, like they're filled with spite. The warm
handshakes just seem so out of place.
(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Verse):
Every person has a dark side please don't show me yours.
I don't really think I want to know you can't be trusted.
They say the truth will set you free, but they don't say how deep the cut
will be. Trust dies and paranoia takes it's place.
(Chorus)
That's it! I hope you enjoy the tab, e-mail me if you have any changes,
comments, etc.
Luke
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official TEN FOOT POLE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
