Intro: Bm x4
Bm (2) A (2)
Hello. Is there anybody in there?
G Em Bm
(2)
Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone home?
Bm (2)
A (2)
Come on, now. I hear you’re feeling down.
G Em Bm (2)
Well, I can ease your pain, get you on your feet again.
Bm (2)
A (2)
Relax. I need some information first.
G Em Bm (2)
Just the basic facts: Can you show me where it hurts?
Chorus 1:
D (2) A (2)
There is no pain, you are receding.
D (2) A
(2)
A distant ship smoke on the horizon.
C (2) G
(2)
You are only coming through in waves.
C (2)
G (2)
Your lips move, but I cant hear what you’re saying.
D (2) A (2)
When I was a child I had a fever.
D (2) A (2)
My hands felt just like two balloons.
C (2) G
(2)
Now I got that feeling once again. I can’t explain, you would not
C (2) G
(2)
understand. This is not how I am.
A (2) C G
D (2)
I have become comfortably numb.

Ok. Just a little pinprick.

(2)
There’ll be no more, Aaaaaah! But you may feel a little sick.
Bm (2)
A (2)
Can you stand up? I do believe it’s working good.
G Em Bm
(2)
That’ll keep you going for the show. Come on its time to go.

When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
D (2) A
(2)
Out of the corner of my eye.
C (2) G
(2)
I turned to look but it was gone. I cannot put my finger
C (2) G (2)
on it now. The child is grown, the dream is gone.
A (2) C G

I have become comfortably numb.
