A# A#sus4 A#sus2 A# x4
[Verse 1]
A# D#sus4 D# D#sus4 D# A# A#sus2 A#
I hear the door-bell ring and suddenly the panic takes me
D#sus4 D# D#sus4 D# A# A#sus2 A#
The sound so ominously tearing through the silence
A#m Fm
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# D#sus4 D# D#sus4 D# A# A#sus2 A#
The signal's sounding once again and someone tries the doorknob
D#sus4 D# D#sus4 D# A# A#sus2 A#
None of my friends would be so stupidly impatient
A#m Fm
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
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
A# D#sus4 D# D#sus4 D# A# A#sus2 A#
These walls have witnessed all the anguish of humiliation
D#sus4 D# D#sus4 D# A# A#sus2 A#
And seen the hope of freedom glow in shining faces
A#m Fm
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
A#
Help me
[Chorus]
A# G#
Now I hear them moving

Cracking up

My whole world is falling, going crazy
G#
There is no escaping now,
D# A#
I'm cracking up
[Outro]
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
A#sus2 A#
(I have been waiting for these visitors)
G# D#
They must know by now I'm in here
A# G#
Trembling in a terror ever growing
D# A#
Cracking up
