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.

[Chorus]
(strummed)

[3/4 time]
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 Am/G Am/F#
Battered and bruised, always confusing the love
FM
That she's losing for hate. Poor Vanessa.

(rhythm figure 1)
[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.

[Chorus]
(strummed)

[3/4 time]
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 Am/G Am/F#
Battered and bruised, always confusing the love
FM
That she's losing for hate. Poor Vanessa.

-->Here the x's represent harmonics played on the
low E string between the third and fifth fret. I
don't know what they are for sure, but you can
experiment with them. Plus the B-flat chord may not
be exactly right.
