Intro
D Dsus4 Dsus2 D x4
[Verse 1]
D Gsus4 G Gsus4 G D Dsus2 D
I hear the door-bell ring and suddenly the panic takes me
Gsus4 G Gsus4 G D Dsus2 D
The sound so ominously tearing through the silence
Dm Am
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 Gsus4 G Gsus4 G D Dsus2 D
The signal's sounding once again and someone tries the doorknob
Gsus4 G Gsus4 G D Dsus2 D
None of my friends would be so stupidly impatient
Dm Am
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 Gsus4 G Gsus4 G D Dsus2 D
These walls have witnessed all the anguish of humiliation
Gsus4 G Gsus4 G D Dsus2 D
And seen the hope of freedom glow in shining faces
Dm Am
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
