Intro: Bm x2
Verse:
Bm A
Hello. Is there anybody in there?
|G Em| Bm
Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone home?
Bm A
Come on, now. I hear you’re feeling down.
| G Em| Bm
Well, I can ease your pain, get you on your feet again.
Bm A
Relax. I need some information first.
| G Em| Bm
Just the basic facts: Can you show me where it hurts?
Chorus:
D A
There is no pain, you are receding.
D A
A distant ship smoke on the horizon.
C G
You are only coming through in waves. Your
C G
lips move, but I can’y hear what you’re saying.
D A
When I was a child I had a fever.
D A
My hands felt just like two balloons.
C G
Now I got that feeling once again. I can’t explain, you would not
C G
understand. This is not how I am.
A |C G | D
I have become comfortably numb.
Solo:

Verse:
Bm A
Ok. Just a little pinprick.
| G Em | Bm
There’ll be no more, Aaaaaah! But you may feel a little sick.
Bm A
Can you stand up? I do believe it’s working good.
|G Em | Bm
That’ll keep you going for the show. Come on its time to go.
Chorus:
D A
There is no pain, you are receding.
D A
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
C G
You are only coming through in waves.
C G
Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re saying.
D A
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
D A
Out of the corner of my eye.
C G
I turned to look but it was gone. I cannot put my finger
C G
on it now. The child is grown, the dream is gone.
A |C G | D D
I have become comfortably numb.
