by Pink Floyd
from The Wall
Bm A
Hello, Is there any body in there?
G D/F# Em Bm
Just nod if you can hear me, is there anyone at home?
A
Come on, now, I hear your feeling down,
G D/F# Em Bm
well, I can ease your pain, get you on your feet again.
A G D/F# Em
relax, I need soem information, first, just the basic facts,
Bm
Can you show me where it hurts
D A
There is no pain you are receding,
D A G/B
A distant ships smoke, on the horizon,
C G
You are only coming through in waves,
C G
Your lips move, but I can't hear what your saying,
D A
When I was a child, I had a fever,
D A G/B
my hands felt just like, two ballons,
C G
Now I've got that feeling once again,
G C
I can't explain, you would not understand,
G
This is not how I am,
A G/B C G D
I______________________ have become, comforatbly numb.

Bm A G D/F# Em
O.K., just a little pin prick, there'll be no more (scream),
Bm
But you may feel a little sick. Can you stand up?
A G D/F# Em
I do believe it's working, good. That'll keep you going throught the show,
Bm
C'mon it's time to go

When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse,
D A G/B
Out of the corner of my eye,
C G
I turned to look, but it was gone,
C
I can not put my finger on it now,
G
The child is grown, the dream is gone,
A G/B C G D
and I___________________, have become comfortably numb.
