Comfortably Numb

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

Bm - - - /   / A - - - /   / G - - > / Em - - - / Bm - - - /   // (3x)

 C:	There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smokes 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 had a fever
My hands swelled just like to balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can not explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb

D - - - /   / A - - - /   /  x4  / C - - - /   / G - - - /   /  x4  / (2x)
A - - - /   / C - - - / G - - - / D - - - /    //

(Solo on chorus changes)

I have become comfortably numb

Ok, it's just a little pin prick
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

 C:	There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smokes 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 can not put my finger on it now
The child has grown, the dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb

(solo on verse to fade)
