Comfortably Numb

by Pink Floyd

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

    D                           A
    There is no pain, you are receeding
    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 - I can't explain
                  C                              G
    You would not understand - this is not how I am
    A   C        G                D
    I...  have become comfortably numb

<solo on D - A - C - G>

Okay... just a little pinprick
There'll be no more [ahhh!] 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

    There is no pain, you are receeding
    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
