Intro
B Bsus4 Bsus2 B x4
[Verse 1]
B Esus4 E Esus4 E B Bsus2 B
I hear the door-bell ring and suddenly the panic takes me
Esus4 E Esus4 E B Bsus2 B
The sound so ominously tearing through the silence
Bm F#m
I cannot move, I'm standing numb and frozen
E
Among the things I love so dearly
B A E
The books, the paintings and the furniture
B
Help me
[Verse 2]
B Esus4 E Esus4 E B Bsus2 B
The signal's sounding once again and someone tries the doorknob
Esus4 E Esus4 E B Bsus2 B
None of my friends would be so stupidly impatient
Bm F#m
And they don't dare to come here anymore now
E
But how I loved our secret meetings
B A E
We talked and talked in quiet voices
B
Smiling
[Chorus]
B A
Now I hear them moving
E B
Muffled noises coming through the door
A E B
I feel I'm cracking up
A E B
Voices growing louder, irritation building
A E B
And I'm close to fainting cracking up
A E
They must know by now I'm in here
B A
Trembling in a terror ever growing
E B
Cracking up
A E B
My whole world is falling, going crazy
A
There is no escaping now,
E B
Im cracking up

[Verse 3]
B Esus4 E Esus4 E B Bsus2 B
These walls have witnessed all the anguish of humiliation
Esus4 E Esus4 E B Bsus2 B
And seen the hope of freedom glow in shining faces
Bm F#m
And now they've come to take me come to break me
E
And yet it isn't unexpected
B A E
I have been waiting for these visitors
B
Help me

My whole world is falling, going crazy

I'm cracking up
Bsus2 B
(I have been waiting for these visitors) [Repeat To Fade]
