Numb

Numb

By Holly McNarland

On the 1997 cd "Stuff"

Tabbed by Izzylou

Capo 3

Intro: Em* D C Em D C x 2

Verse 1:

Chase destruction of your own emotions

And your need for love, makes you easy prey

Saftey of a rubber glove seems much too simple

Climbing up and down, waiting for the day

Chorus:

C D Em riff

You can't see if I'm not listening

C D Em riff

You can't hear with my eyes open

C D Em riff

I can't hate with my eyes open

C D no chord Em Em

I feel better when I'm numb

Verse 2:

Chase destruction of your own existance

Keep it clean, clean enough to stab

Lick your own wounds, anxious for the next one

Cry for more pain, heal what you have

Chorus

Begin palm mutting

Verse 3:

Just another hit for the one you love

Em D C Em D C (begin jamming)

If you cared at all, you'd put me down

Wake up dead man, can't you see I'm starving

Wake up dead man, can't you see I'm starving

Chorus:

C D Em riff

You can't see if I'm not listening

C D Em riff

You can't hear with my eyes open

C D Em riff

I can't hate with my eyes open

I feel better

I feel better

C D Em end.

I feel better when I'm numb
