Intro
F Fsus4 Fsus2 F x4
[Verse 1]
F A#sus4 A# A#sus4 A# F Fsus2 F
I hear the door-bell ring and suddenly the panic takes me
A#sus4 A# A#sus4 A# F Fsus2 F
The sound so ominously tearing through the silence
Fm Cm
I cannot move, I'm standing numb and frozen
A#
Among the things I love so dearly
F D# A#
The books, the paintings and the furniture
F
Help me
[Verse 2]
F A#sus4 A# A#sus4 A# F Fsus2 F
The signal's sounding once again and someone tries the doorknob
A#sus4 A# A#sus4 A# F Fsus2 F
None of my friends would be so stupidly impatient
Fm Cm
And they don't dare to come here anymore now
A#
But how I loved our secret meetings
F D# A#
We talked and talked in quiet voices
F
Smiling
[Chorus]
F D#
Now I hear them moving
A# F
Muffled noises coming through the door
D# A# F
I feel I'm cracking up
D# A# F
Voices growing louder, irritation building
D# A# F
And I'm close to fainting cracking up
D# A#
They must know by now I'm in here
F D#
Trembling in a terror ever growing
A# F
Cracking up
D# A# F
My whole world is falling, going crazy
D#
There is no escaping now,
A# F
Im cracking up

[Verse 3]
F A#sus4 A# A#sus4 A# F Fsus2 F
These walls have witnessed all the anguish of humiliation
A#sus4 A# A#sus4 A# F Fsus2 F
And seen the hope of freedom glow in shining faces
Fm Cm
And now they've come to take me come to break me
A#
And yet it isn't unexpected

I have been waiting for these visitors
