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
