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
