This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

UGLY TRUTH (ROCK)

Chords by: Chris Bray (cbray@comp.uark.edu)

As always, this is probably wrong. Please send me any corrections so I

can change the files on the homepage.

Riff: {the rhythm isn't exactly right, but the chords sound good}.

Intro: Riff (x 3)

{Riff}

You don't want to die

But the living gets you down

We want you to act like nothing's wrong

Even though you heard a sound

And then you're ripped right out of the ground

Like a fuckin' root

No you simply cannot hide

From the ugly truth

{Riff}

You fell you must be wise

'Cause you could find yourself

Among a sea of smiling faces

It's a way I've never felt

Yeah, it kinda flies right into my face

And out the other side

Oh, the ugly truth leaves nothing to decide

The ugly truth makes every one of us a liar

Ugly

SOLO (over riff)

{Riff}

If you can dig a big enough hole

To bury all your youth

No you still won't be prepared for the ugly truth

No you'll never be prepared for the ugly truth

You simply cannot hide from the ugly truth

Ugly

SOLO (over riff)
