[Verse 1]
Bm                       A        
Hello, Is there any body in there?
                    G       D/F#  Em        Bm            
Just nod if you can hear me,      is there anyone at home?
Bm                         A            
Come on, now, I hear your feeling  down,
      G            D/F#   Em            Bm                 
well, I can ease  your  pain,   get you on your feet again.
Bm                      A               G          D/F#   Em 
relax, I need some information, first,  just the basic facts,
         Bm                   
Can you show me where it hurts

D                           A     
There is no pain you are receding,
D                                A    G/B
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 your saying,
     D                       A    
When I was a child, I had a fever,
  D                             A     G/B
my hands felt just like, two balloons,
C                                   G
Now I've got that feeling once again,
G                                 C       
I can't explain, you would not understand,
                     G
This is not how I am,
A               G/B  C             G                D  
I______________________  have become, comfortably numb.

[Verse 2]
Bm                      A                         G   D/F#  Em
O.K., just a little pin prick, there'll be no more (scream),
           Bm                                     
But you may feel a little sick.  Can you stand up?
                   A                              G             D/F#  Em 
I do believe it's working, good. That'll keep you going through the show,
Bm                   
C'mon it's time to go

[Chorus]
D                            A    
There is no pain you are receding,
D                               A    G/B
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 your saying,
    D                              A            
When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse,
D                        A  G/B
Out of the corner of my eye,
C                              G  
I turned to look, but it was gone,
                           C      
I can not put my finger on it now,
                            G         
The child is grown, the dream is gone,
A               G/B  C          G                 D    
and I___________________, have become comfortably numb.
