[Verse 1]
E Asus4 A Asus4 A E Esus2 E
I hear the door-bell ring and suddenly the panic takes me
Asus4 A Asus4 A E Esus2 E
The sound so ominously tearing through the silence
Em Bm
I cannot move, I'm standing numb and frozen
A
Among the things I love so dearly
E D A
The books, the paintings and the furniture
E
Help me
[Verse 2]
E Asus4 A Asus4 A E Esus2 E
The signal's sounding once again and someone tries the doorknob
Asus4 A Asus4 A E Esus2 E
None of my friends would be so stupidly impatient
Em Bm
And they don't dare to come here anymore now
A
But how I loved our secret meetings
E D A
We talked and talked in quiet voices
E
Smiling
[Chorus]
E D
Now I hear them moving
A E
Muffled noises coming through the door
D A E
I feel I'm cracking up
D A E
Voices growing louder, irritation building
D A E
And I'm close to fainting cracking up
D A
They must know by now I'm in here
E D
Trembling in a terror ever growing
A E
Cracking up
D A E
My whole world is falling, going crazy
D
There is no escaping now,
A E
Im cracking up

[Verse 3]
E Asus4 A Asus4 A E Esus2 E
These walls have witnessed all the anguish of humiliation
Asus4 A Asus4 A E Esus2 E
And seen the hope of freedom glow in shining faces
Em Bm
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
