Here's a beast of a track! I have attempted to tab this as best I can but you
will have to improvise through some of the quieter bits with a few random
noises such as scraping down the strings or tapping the pickups! Otherwise the
rest of it should be there! Enjoy!

Guitar 2 - Acoustic Guitar
Guitar 3 - Very Slightly Distorted Guitar

***A FEW SYNTH PARTS AND RANDOM GUITAR***
Gm
My body has gone
But my eyes remain
Hovering. Witnessing.
Cold as a ghost ..watching the streets
Sheltering in doorways of
Venice, Vienna,
Budapest, Krakow, and Amsterdam

E|-----|If I close my eyes
I can see where you live
Climb the winding stairs
Up to your apartment
The scent of you preparing
His evening meal
I must watch in dread
When he's cruel to you
In horrified silence
As you make love
I cannot lift a hand
Lift a hand to stop him
I don't exist What can I do?
What can I do?

I have read all your letters
I know what you contain
I have dreamt your dreams
My head..
My head is haunted
