Comfortably Numb
Words & Music:
Roger Waters & David Gilmour (Pink Floyd)
Bm
A
Hello,
hello, hello - is there anybody in there?
G G/F# Em Bm
Just nod if
you can hear me. Is there anyone
home?
Come on,
come on, come on - I hear you're feeling down.
I can ease
your pain and get you on your feet again.
Relax,
relax, relax- I need some information first.
Just the
basic facts: can you show me where
it hurts.
CHORUS:

There is no
pain, you are receding. A distant
ship's smoke on the horizon.
C

You are
only coming through in waves.
C

Your lips
move but I can't hear what you're saying.

When I was
a child, I had a fever. My hands
felt just like two balloons.

Now, I've
got that feeling once again. I
cannot put my finger on it, now.

The child
is grown. The dream is gone. I
have become comfortably numb.

Okay,
okay, okay - just a little pinprick. [ping]
There'll
be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But
you may feel a little sick.
Can
you stand up? I do believe it's
working. Good.
That'll
keep you going for the show. Come
on it's time to go.
There
is no pain, you are receding. A
distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You
are only coming through in waves.
Your
lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
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.
