(Em)Hello?
Is there anybody (D)in there?
Just nod if you can (C)hear me (C/B)(Am)
Is there (Em)anyone home?

(Em)Come on, now
I hear you're feeling (D)down
Well I can (C)ease your pain (C/B)(Am)
Get you (Em)on your feet again

(Em)Relax
I need some infor(D)mation first
Just the basic (C)facts (C/B)(Am)
Can you (Em)show me where it hurts?

(G)There is no pain, you are re(D)ceding
(G)A distant ship's smoke on the ho(D)rizon
(F)You are only coming through in (C)waves
Your (F)lips move but I can't hear what you're (C)sayin'
(G)When I was a child I had a (D)fever
My (G)hands felt just like two bal(D)loons
(F)Now I got that feeling once a(C)gain
I can't explain, you would not (F)understand
This is not how I (C)am
(D)(F)I have be(C)come comfortably (G)numb

(Em)Ok
Just a little (D)pinprick
There'll be no more – (C)aaaaaahhhhh! (C/B)(Am)
But yyou (Em)may feel a little sick

Can you (Em)stand up?
I do believe it's (D)working. Good.
That'll keep you (C)going for the show (C/B)(Am)
Come (Em)on it's time to go

(G)There is no pain, you are re(D)ceding
(G)A distant ship's smoke on the ho(D)rizon
(F)You are only coming through in (C)waves
Your (F)lips move but I can't hear what you're (C)sayin'
(G)When I was a child I caught a (D)fleeting glimpse
(G)Out of the corner of my (D)eye
(F)I turned to look but it was (C)gone
I cannot put my finger (F)on it now
The child is grown, the (C)dream is gone
(D)(F)I have be(C)come comfortably (G)numb
