Intro sax

Bm A Bm A

D                                             C                    Bm                                                             A
Who can this be knocking at my door? go away, don’t come round here no more
D                                     C                  Bm                                                             A
Can’t you see that its late at night? I’m very tired, and I’m not feeling right
D                                     C   Bm                                                       A
All I wish was to be alone, stay away, don’t you invade my home
D                         C                 Bm                                                         A
Best off if you hang outside, don’t come in, I’ll only run and hide

Bm                                  A                              Bm                              A
Who can it be now? who can it be now? who can it be now? who can it be now?

D                                          C                Bm                                                             A
Who can it be knocking at my door? make no sound, tip-toe across the floor
D                              C                 Bm                                                             A
If he hears, he’ll knock all day, I’ll be trapped and here I’ll have to stay
D                                     C                     Bm                                                                                    A
I’ve done no harm, I keep to myself, there’s nothing wrong with my state of mental health
D                              C                                Bm                                                       A
I like it here with my childhood friend, here they come, those feelings again

Bm                                  A                              Bm                              A
Who can it be now? who can it be now? who can it be now? who can it be now?

Em                                       A                     Em                                         A
Is this the man come to take me away? why do they follow me?
Em                                    A             Em                                A
It’s not the future, that I can see, it’s just my fantasy
