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

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

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

(I have been waiting for these visitors) [Repeat To Fade]
