This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

The iceman, the iceman... COMETH!

Born without a hug, or an ounce of love

Doesn't know how much he can hurt someone

Do you feel the chill in his calculated prose?

His words will kill if you leave yourself exposed
