Bm
Hello,
                 A
is there anybody in there?
                     G      Em
Just nod if you can hear me;
         Bm
is there anyone home?
Bm
Come on, now,
               A
I hear you're feeling down.
      G                Em
Well, I can ease your pain;
        Bm
get you on your feet again.
 Bm
Relax,
                  A
I need some information first.
 G              Em
Just the basic facts:
         Bm
can you show me where it hurts?

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 had a fever.
    D                           A
My hands felt just like two balloons.
 C                            G
Now I got that feeling once again;
                               C
I can't explain, you would not understand.
                  G
This is not how I am.
A C       G                 D
I have become, comfortably numb.

A C       G                 D
I have become, comfortably numb.

Okay (Okay, okay, okay)
Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up? (Stand up, stand up)
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on, it's time to go

Chorus:
There is no pain, you are receding
a distant ship, smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look, but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown, the dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb
