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.

am em GM DM
Under Peruvian skies Vanessa regretfully waits.
am em GM
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.
(4/4 time)
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
