[Verse 1]
A Dsus4 D Dsus4 D A Asus2 A
I hear the door-bell ring and suddenly the panic takes me
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D A Asus2 A
The sound so ominously tearing through the silence
Am Em
I cannot move, I'm standing numb and frozen
D
Among the things I love so dearly
A G D
The books, the paintings and the furniture
A
Help me
[Verse 2]
A Dsus4 D Dsus4 D A Asus2 A
The signal's sounding once again and someone tries the doorknob
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D A Asus2 A
None of my friends would be so stupidly impatient
Am Em
And they don't dare to come here anymore now
D
But how I loved our secret meetings
A G D
We talked and talked in quiet voices
A
Smiling
[Chorus]
A G
Now I hear them moving
D A
Muffled noises coming through the door
G D A
I feel I'm cracking up
G D A
Voices growing louder, irritation building
G D A
And I'm close to fainting cracking up
G D
They must know by now I'm in here
A G
Trembling in a terror ever growing
D A
Cracking up
G D A
My whole world is falling, going crazy
G
There is no escaping now,
D A
Im cracking up

[Verse 3]
A Dsus4 D Dsus4 D A Asus2 A
These walls have witnessed all the anguish of humiliation
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D A Asus2 A
And seen the hope of freedom glow in shining faces
Am Em
And now they've come to take me come to break me
D
And yet it isn't unexpected
A G D
I have been waiting for these visitors

Help me
