Comfortably Numb

 
Dm                C           Dm 
There is no pain,   you are receding 
           F     C            Dm 
A distant ship smoke on the horizon 
         Bb          C          Dm 
You are only coming through in waves

                            F 
Hello is there anybody in there 
                           C 
Just nod if you can can't hear me 
                 Dm 
Is there anyone home? 
  Dm 
I've been drifting through these There emerald hills 
           F 
Where the cold wind cuts like a silver blade 
          C                            Dm 
And the whiskey warms but never heals the soul 
 

 
Dm 
I hear you're feeling down 
                  F 
Well, I can ease your pain 
C                     Dm 
Get you on your feet again 
                                   F 
Relax, I'll need some information first 
                C 
Just the basic facts, 
                         Dm 
can you show me where it hurts? 
 

 
             F    C           Dm 
There is no pain,   you are receding 
           F     C            Dm 
A distant ship smoke on the horizon 
         Bb          C          Dm 
You are only coming through in waves 
           F                C 
Your lips move but I can't hear 
             Dm 
what you're saying 
          F   C            Dm   C 
I have become comfortably numb 
             Dm 
Comfortably numb

          Dm 
When the night comes down 
    C              Dm 
on these ancient stones 
          F            Bb 
And the ghosts of old lovers 
 C       Dm 
call my name 
                   C          Dm 
I float above the misty bogs alone 
             C    Bb        C     Dm   Bb 
No fear, no joy, just this quiet flame 
                               Dm   C   Dm   Bb 
The walls I built are made of peat and stone 
                         C 
They keep me safe, but I am so alone 
 

 
              F   C           Dm 
There is no pain,   you are receding 
           F     C            Dm 
A distant ship smoke on the horizon 
         Bb          C          Dm 
You are only coming through in waves 
           F                C 
Your lips move but I can't hear 
             Dm 
what you're saying 
          F   C            Dm   C 
I have become comfortably numb 
             Dm 
Comfortably numb

       C      Dm     F 
I can see the light 
       C         Dm 
I can feel the night 
               F 
The child is grown, 
              C 
the dream is gone 
                  Dm 
But the numbness stays, 
   Am7     Bb 
it carries on 
F                              Fsus2 
A lifetime lost in the fog and rain 
        Gm7     Bb  C       Dm 
Still I whisper through the pain 
 

 
             F    C           Dm 
There is no pain,   you are receding 
      F              C            Dm 
Far away across the wild Atlantic sea 
         Bb          C          Dm 
You are only coming through in waves 
                F 
Your eyes are closed but you 
       C       Dm    Bb 
still see everything 
          F   C            Dm   C 
I have become comfortably numb 
             Dm   C 
Comfortably numb
