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.
