Released in 2003, “Numb” by Linkin Park spent weeks at the top of the charts and was played on radios ad MP3 players around the world! One that everyone will know =)
It’s relatively simple to play, but quite high pitched so watch out for that. I hope you enjoy the letter notes below 🙂
F# ^C# ^C# ^C#
I’m tired of being
^C# ^D ^C# ^C# B A
What you want me to be
^C#-^C# B A – B
Feeling so faithless
E ^C#-^C# B A-B
Lost under the surface
^C# ^C# ^C#
Don’t know what
^C# ^D-^C#-^C# B A
You’re expecting of me
A ^C#-^C# B A – B
Put under the pressure
E ^C# – B A B B-^C#
Of walking in your shoes…
^C#-^C# ^F# ^F# ^E ^C#
Every step that I take
^C# ^C#-^F#-^E ^E^-C# ^D ^D-^E
Is another mistake to you ~
^F# ^F#-^F# ^E ^F#
I’ve become so numb
^F# ^F# ^F# ^G# ^E

Has fallen apart

Right in front of you…

Every step that I take

Is more than I can take!
