Bm A
Hello (hello-hello) Is there anybody in there?
G G/F# Em
Just nod if you can hear me
Bm
Is there anyone home
A
Come on (come on come on) I hear you're feeling down
G G/F# Em
I can ease your pain
Bm
And get you on your feet again
A
Relax (relax relax) I need some information first
G G/F# 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 ship. 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've got that feeling once again
C
I can't explain you would not understand
G
This is not how I am.
A C D
I--- have become comfortably numb.
O.K.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more, ah!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you 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.
