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

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

The (8) is a ghost note. As you're releasing the bend on the 10, lift
up your finger so that the 8 sounds. In a way it's a VERY gentle
pull-off. You can also pick it softly if you want, I guess.

The 232 thing is just a triplet, and I wanted to stick to the pattern of
two dashes per eighth note.
