There. There it is.
I swear he's going to murder that poor kid.
Wait, I hear it again.
Don't turn on the light until we hear the way it ends.

Under Peruvian skies Vanessa regretfully waits.

The story unfolds in her eyes, where midnight hysteria's
[FM]No big surprise.
[am]Battered and bruised, [am/G]always confusing the [am/F#]love
That she's losing for h[FM]ate. Poor Vanessa.

Hey, I hope you know
I'm taking all this with me when I go.
Shame, you're not to blame.
I'm the monster you created
In your daddy's name.

-->Here the x's represent harmonics played on the
low E string between the third and fifth fret. I
