Intro
G Gsus4 Gsus2 G x4
[Verse 1]
G Csus4 C Csus4 C G Gsus2 G
I hear the door-bell ring and suddenly the panic takes me
Csus4 C Csus4 C G Gsus2 G
The sound so ominously tearing through the silence
Gm Dm
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 Csus4 C Csus4 C G Gsus2 G
The signal's sounding once again and someone tries the doorknob
Csus4 C Csus4 C G Gsus2 G
None of my friends would be so stupidly impatient
Gm Dm
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 Csus4 C Csus4 C G Gsus2 G
These walls have witnessed all the anguish of humiliation
Csus4 C Csus4 C G Gsus2 G
And seen the hope of freedom glow in shining faces
Gm Dm
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]
