[Ebm]
Darkness [Bbm] my old friend, [Db]
I've come to talk with [Ebm] you again.
The cause of vision [Ab] softly [Gb]
creeping, left its seeds while [Ab] I was [Gb] sleeping.
[Gb] And the [B] vision that was planted [Ab] in my [Ebm] brain, still remains.
Within the sound [Ebm] of silence, restless dreams are [Db] walking,
narrow streets of [Ebm] cobblestone.

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
Darkness [Bbm] my old friend, _ [Db] _ _
I've come to talk with [Ebm] you again. _ _ _
_ The cause of vision [Ab] softly _ [Gb]
creeping, _ _ left its seeds while [Ab] I was [Gb] sleeping.
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab]
[Gb] And the [B] vision that was planted [Ab] in my [Ebm] brain, _ still _ remains.
_ _ [Db] _ _ _
Within the _ sound [Ebm] of silence, _ _ _ restless dreams are [Db] walking, _ _ _ _ _
narrow streets of [Ebm] cobblestone. _ _ _
[Eb] _ Beneath the halo of a [Gb] sleeping, _ _ I turn my collar to [Ab] the cold [Gb] wind. _ _ _ _ _
When [Abm] my eyes are stabbed by [Bm] the flash of a neon [Ebm] _ light,
I split the night and _ [Bbm] _ _ [Db] _
touch the sun.
_ _ [Ebm] _
_ And _ _ in the naked light [Db] I saw, _ _ _ ten thousand people maybe [Ebm] more. _ _ _
[Eb] _ People talking without _ [Gb] speaking, _ _ _ people [B] hearing without [Gb] listening, _ _ _ _ _
people [B] writing _ songs their voices never [Ebm] share.
_ And no one dared _ _ [Db] _ _
to stir the sound _ [Ebm] of silence.
_ _ _ _ Fools that I, you do [Db] not know, _ _ _ _ [Gb]
silence [Ebm] like a cancer grows. _ _ _
Hear my words [Abm] and I might [Gb] teach you, _ take my arms and I might reach you.
_ _ [Ebm] _ [Bbm] But my _ [B] _ _ words like silent _ [Gb] [Bbm] raindrops flow, [Bb] _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ [Gb] _ _ and [Db] _ _
echoed in the _ _ [Ebm] world's upside.
_ _ _ [N] _ And the people [Db] bowed and prayed, _ _ _ to the neon [Ebm] god they made.
_ _ [Eb] _
And the sign crashed [Ab] out its [Gb] warning, _ _ in the words that [Ab] it was performing.
[Gb] _ _ _ And the sign [B] said the words of the prophets [Bm] are written on the subway [Ebm] _ walls,
and tenement halls, _ [Db] and _ whispered in the _ _ _ [Ebm] silence. _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
