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      G                  D
Under Peruvian skies Vanessa regretfully waits.
Am                       Em          G
The story unfolds in her eyes, where midnight hysteria's
F
No big surprise.
Am                    Am/G                 Am/F#
Battered and bruised, always confusing the love
                       F
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      G                  D
Under Peruvian skies Vanessa regretfully waits.
Am                       Em          G
The story unfolds in her eyes, where midnight hysteria's
F
No big surprise.
Am                    Am/G                 Am/F#
Battered and bruised, always confusing the love
                       F
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.
