Intro
G# G#sus4 G#sus2 G# x4
[Verse 1]
G# C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C# G# G#sus2 G#
I hear the door-bell ring and suddenly the panic takes me
C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C# G# G#sus2 G#
The sound so ominously tearing through the silence
G#m D#m
I cannot move, I'm standing numb and frozen
C#
Among the things I love so dearly
G# F# C#
The books, the paintings and the furniture
G#
Help me
[Verse 2]
G# C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C# G# G#sus2 G#
The signal's sounding once again and someone tries the doorknob
C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C# G# G#sus2 G#
None of my friends would be so stupidly impatient
G#m D#m
And they don't dare to come here anymore now
C#
But how I loved our secret meetings
G# F# C#
We talked and talked in quiet voices
G#
Smiling
[Chorus]
G# F#
Now I hear them moving
C# G#
Muffled noises coming through the door
F# C# G#
I feel I'm cracking up
F# C# G#
Voices growing louder, irritation building
F# C# G#
And I'm close to fainting cracking up
F# C#
They must know by now I'm in here
G# F#
Trembling in a terror ever growing
C# G#
Cracking up
F# C# G#
My whole world is falling, going crazy
F#
There is no escaping now,
C# G#
Im cracking up

[Verse 3]
G# C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C# G# G#sus2 G#
These walls have witnessed all the anguish of humiliation
C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C# G# G#sus2 G#
And seen the hope of freedom glow in shining faces
G#m D#m
And now they've come to take me come to break me
C#
And yet it isn't unexpected
G# F# C#
I have been waiting for these visitors
G#
Help me
[Chorus]
G# F#
Now I hear them moving
C# G#
Muffled noises coming through the door
F# C# G#

G# F#
Trembling in a terror ever growing
C# G#
Cracking up
F# C# G#
My whole world is falling, going crazy
F#
There is no escaping now,
C# G#
I'm cracking up
[Outro]
G# F#
Now I hear them moving
C# G#
Muffled noises coming through the door
F# C# G#
I feel I'm cracking up
F# C# G#
Voices growing louder, irritation building
F# C# G#
And I'm close to fainting cracking up
G#sus2 G#
(I have been waiting for these visitors)
F# C#
They must know by now I'm in here
G# F#
Trembling in a terror ever growing
C# G#
Cracking up
G#sus2 G#
(I have been waiting for these visitors)
F# C# G#
My whole world is falling, going crazy
F#
There is no escaping now,
C# G#
I'm cracking up
G#sus2 G#
(I have been waiting for these visitors) [Repeat To Fade]
