[Verse 1]
 
We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight
And yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Electrical guitar, play twice
 
Oooh (4x)
                              (gradual bend)

[Verse 2]
 
My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find
And yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead

Igg lockwood, as if you met cantrell, u cant even spell his name, the reason it doesnt sound right is probably coz u havent tuned your dam guitar 1/2 a step down
