NUMB
chords by: XAVIER CAMPOS jerry_maguire_15@hotmail.com
G
Don't move, don't talk out of time, don't think,
C
Don't worry everything's just fine, just fine
G
Don't grab, don't clutch, don't hope for too much
C
Don't breathe, don't achieve, don't grieve without leave
Em
Don't check just balance on the fence
C
Don't answer, don't ask, don't try and make sense
Don't whisper, don't talk, don't run if you can walk
Don't cheat, compete, don't miss the one beat
Don't travel by train, don't eat, don't spill
Don't piss in the drain, don't make a will
Don't fill out any forms, don't compensate
Don't cower, don't crawl, don't come around late
Don't hover at the gate
Em
Don't take it on board
Don't fall on your sword
C (FAT LADY - Backing Vocal)
Just play another chord G
If you feel you're getting bored I feel numb
C
I feel numb
G Too much is not enough
Don't change your brand Gimme some more
Don't listen to the band Gimme some more
Don't gape Of that stuff love
Don't ape Too much is not enough
C
Don't change your shape, have another grape
[Keyboard solo: D-C-D-C-Em-C]
Don't plead Too much is not enough
Don't bridle I feel numb
Don't shackle I feel numb
Don't grind Gimme what you got
Don't curve Gimme what I don't get
Don't swerve Gimme what you got
Don't lie, die, serve Too much is not enough
I feel numb
Don't theorize, realise, polarise,
Chance, dance, dismiss, apologise
I feel numb
Don't spy Gimme some more
Don't lie Gimme some more
Don't try Of that stuff love
Imply Gimme some more
Detain Too much is not enough
Explain
Start again I feel numb
Don't triumph, don't coax, don't cling, don't hoax
Don't freak, peak, don't leak, don't speak
I feel numb
Don't project I feel numb
Don't connect, protect, don't expect
Suggest
I feel numb
Don't project, don't connect
Protect, don't expect, suggest
I feel numb
Don't struggle I feel numb
Don't jerk, don't collar, don't work
Don't wish, don't fish, don't teach, don't reach
I feel numb
Don't borrow, don't break, don't fence
Don't steal, don't pass, don't press
Don't try, don't feel
I feel numb
Don't touch, don't dive, don't suffer
Don't rhyme, don't fantasize, don't rise
Don't lie
I feel numb
Don't project, don't connect
Protect, don't expect, suggest
I feel numb
Don't project, don't connect
Protect, don't expect, suggest I feel numb

| not to sound stupid, but what does the song being 4 minutes 20 seconds long have to do with anything? anyway, one of my favorite 90's U2 song. The Edge does a great deadpan monotone. i agree with FelipeVox, probably about power in the media. | |

| It's about mind-control and social control via television, a very prominent theme of U2's ZooTV period. The whole thing is an exercise in marxist cultural criticism, which is what the whole ZooTV thing was about...government, business, televangelists, etc. using the media to manipulate public opinion...footage of the Gulf War interspersed with MTV, sports highlights, televangelists, etc...calling the White House every night of the tour, demanding to speak to the President, but never getting through...you get the idea. TV as a layer of virtualization between the viewer and reality. Hence The Edge singing the song instead of Bono. The song is not about drugs...although you can see Bono and Adam Clayton smoking pot in the background at one point during the video. | |

| I think that 4:20 is actually a drugs reference. It's just on the remixes that it's a different time. I think the video is great! I love the way Edge just sits there while random folk come up and abuse him in various ways. | |

| I think this song is about an addiction that, even though it takes complete control of us(Don't move/Don't talk out of time/Don't think/Don't worry/Everything's just fine), we dont care and just want more(Gimme some more of that stuff love/Too much is not enough) Because it just makes us "feel numb" to everything around us. When you think about it its not just drugs that it could apply to, it could be a person, money, or the media. Just any kind of dependence. | |
