Intro: Am x2
Am G
Hello. Is there anybody in there?
F (½) Dm (½) Am
Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone home?
Am G
Come on, now. I hear you’re feeling down.
F (½) Dm (½) Am
Well, I can ease your pain, get you on your feet again.
Am G
Relax. I need some information first.
F (½) Dm (½) Am
Just the basic facts: Can you show me where it hurts?
Chorus 1:
C G
There is no pain, you are receding.
C G
A distant ship smoke on the horizon.
Bb F
You are only coming through in waves.
Bb F
Your lips move, but I cant hear what you’re saying.
C G
When I was a child I had a fever.
C G
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Bb F
Now I got that feeling once again. I can’t explain, you would not
Bb F
understand. This is not how I am.
G Bb (½) F (½) C
I have become comfortably numb.
Solo:
/ C - - - / G - - - / C - - - / G - - - /
/ Bb - - - / F - - - / / Bb - - - / F - - - /
G Bb (½) F (½) C
I have become comfortably numb.
Am G
Ok. Just a little pinprick.
F (½) Dm (½) Am
There’ll be no more, Aaaaaah! But you may feel a little sick.
Am G
Can you stand up? I do believe it’s working good.
F (½) Dm (½) Am
That’ll keep you going for the show. Come on its time to go.
Chorus 2:
C G
There is no pain, you are receding.
C G
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
Bb F
You are only coming through in waves.
Bb F
Your lips move but I cant hear what you’re saying.
C G
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
C G
Out of the corner of my eye.
Bb F
I turned to look but it was gone. I cannot put my finger
Bb F
on it now. The child is grown, the dream is gone.
G Bb (½) F (½) C (2)
I have become comfortably numb.
Solo 2 (repeat progression 8x):
