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

[Verse 3]
C# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F# C# C#sus2 C#
These walls have witnessed all the anguish of humiliation
F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F# C# C#sus2 C#
And seen the hope of freedom glow in shining faces
C#m G#m
And now they've come to take me come to break me
F#
And yet it isn't unexpected
C# B F#
I have been waiting for these visitors
C#
Help me
[Chorus]

Trembling in a terror ever growing

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

My whole world is falling, going crazy

There is no escaping now,
F# C#
I'm cracking up
