Tons of versions of this song in tabs, but only 1 is really right (rest are a bunch of clutter).
I don't think it should discredit a chord version with lyrics and timing.

Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
As he came into the window
Was a sound of a crescendo
He came into her apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
She was sitting at the table
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down, it was her doom

(*can even take this a step further as E5-G5-F5-G5 - I'm trying to keep the tabs simplified)
Annie, are you OK
Will you tell us that you're OK
There's a sign at the window
That he struck you. A crescendo, An--nie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down, it was your doom

Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
So they came into the outway
It was Sunday, what a black day
I could've made a salutation
Sounding heartbeats, intimidations
Pre-chorus
Annie are you OK? You OK? Are you OK Annie?
Annie are you OK? You OK? Are you OK Annie?
Annie are you OK? You OK? Are you OK Annie?
Annie are you OK? You OK? Are you OK Annie?
Annie, are you OK
Will you tell us that you're OK
There's a sign at the window
That he struck you. A crescendo, An--nie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down, it was your doom
Post-chorus: shortened
Annie are you OK? You OK? Are you OK Annie?
You've been hit by

You were struck down, it was your doom
