[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

* * *

[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 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.
