[A] [E] Hello darkness [G] my old friend, I've come to talk with [A] you [E] again.
[F#] [C] Because a vision softly [F] creeping, [C] left its seeds while I [F] was [C] sleeping.
And [F] the vision that was planted in [C] my brain, still [Am] remains [C]
within the [G] sound of [E] [Am] silence.
In restless dreams I [G] walked alone, narrow streets of [Am] cobblestone.
[C] Neatly halo [F] of a [C] street lamp, I turned my collar [F] to the [C] cold and damp.
When my eyes [F] were stabbed by the flesh of a neon [C] light,
that split the night [Am] [C] and [G] touched the sound [Am] of silence.
And in the naked [G] light I saw, ten thousand people, [Am] maybe more.
[C] People talking [F] without [C] speaking, people hearing [F] without [C] listening,
people [F] writing songs.
Voices never [C] share, no one dare, [Am] [C] just [G] never so.
In the world [Am] of silence, schools that I did [G] not know, silence like a [Am] chance of rose.
[C] Take my words that [F] I might [C] teach you, take my arms that [F] I might [C] reach you.
[F] But my words like silent [C] raindrops fell, [Am] [C] and echoed [G] in the world [Am] of silence.
And the people [G] bowed and prayed, to the neon [Am] god they made.
[C] And the sun flashed [F] out its [C] warning, in the words that [F] it was [C] forming.
And the sign [F] said the words of the prophet written on the subway [C] walls.
And tenement halls, [Am] [C] and whispered [G] in the sound of [C] silence.
[G]
[F#] [C] Because a vision softly [F] creeping, [C] left its seeds while I [F] was [C] sleeping.
And [F] the vision that was planted in [C] my brain, still [Am] remains [C]
within the [G] sound of [E] [Am] silence.
In restless dreams I [G] walked alone, narrow streets of [Am] cobblestone.
[C] Neatly halo [F] of a [C] street lamp, I turned my collar [F] to the [C] cold and damp.
When my eyes [F] were stabbed by the flesh of a neon [C] light,
that split the night [Am] [C] and [G] touched the sound [Am] of silence.
