Intro
F# F#sus4 F#sus2 F# x4
[Verse 1]
F# Bsus4 B Bsus4 B F# F#sus2 F#
I hear the door-bell ring and suddenly the panic takes me
Bsus4 B Bsus4 B F# F#sus2 F#
The sound so ominously tearing through the silence
F#m C#m
I cannot move, I'm standing numb and frozen
B
Among the things I love so dearly
F# E B
The books, the paintings and the furniture
F#
Help me
[Verse 2]
F# Bsus4 B Bsus4 B F# F#sus2 F#
The signal's sounding once again and someone tries the doorknob
Bsus4 B Bsus4 B F# F#sus2 F#
None of my friends would be so stupidly impatient
F#m C#m
And they don't dare to come here anymore now
B
But how I loved our secret meetings
F# E B
We talked and talked in quiet voices
F#
Smiling
[Chorus]
F# E
Now I hear them moving
B F#
Muffled noises coming through the door
E B F#
I feel I'm cracking up
E B F#
Voices growing louder, irritation building
E B F#
And I'm close to fainting cracking up
E B
They must know by now I'm in here
F# E
Trembling in a terror ever growing
B F#
Cracking up
E B F#
My whole world is falling, going crazy
E
There is no escaping now,
B F#
Im cracking up

[Verse 3]
F# Bsus4 B Bsus4 B F# F#sus2 F#
These walls have witnessed all the anguish of humiliation
Bsus4 B Bsus4 B F# F#sus2 F#
And seen the hope of freedom glow in shining faces
F#m C#m
And now they've come to take me come to break me
B
And yet it isn't unexpected
F# E B
I have been waiting for these visitors
F#
Help me
[Chorus]

Trembling in a terror ever growing

Cracking up
E B F#
My whole world is falling, going crazy
E
There is no escaping now,
B F#
I'm cracking up
[Outro]

Now I hear them moving

Muffled noises coming through the door

I feel I'm cracking up

Voices growing louder, irritation building

And I'm close to fainting cracking up
F#sus2 F#
(I have been waiting for these visitors)

Trembling in a terror ever growing

Cracking up
