   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

D        A
There is no pain you are receding,

    D       A
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.
