[Em] Oh, darkness [D] my old friend, I've come to talk with [Em] you again
Because a vision [C] softly [G] creeping, left its seeds while [C] I was [G] sleeping
And [C] the vision that is planted in my [G] brain, still remains
[Em] [G] Within [D] the [Em] sounds of silence
In restless dreams I [D] walk alone, through narrow streets of [Em] cobblestone
In the halo [C] of past [G] regrim, I turn my collar [C] to the cold [G] and damp
Where [C] my eyes are stabbed by the flash of a neon [G] light
The split of night, [Em]
[G] and touch [D] the sound [Em] of silence
And it would make it [D] loud I saw, ten thousand people [Em] made it fall
People talking [C] without [G] speaking, people hearing [C] without [G] listening
People writing [C] songs, that voices never [G] shared, no one [Em] dared
[G] Disturb [D] the sounds [Em] of silence, who said I am ill [D] I know
Silence like a [Em] cancer grows, hear my words that I [C] might teach [G] you
Take my heart and I [C] might reach [G] you, but [C] my words like silent raindrops [G] fell
And
[Em] [G] decored [D] in a well [Em] for silence
And the people bowed [D] in faith, to the neon god [Em] they faith
And the sign flashed out [C] its [G] warning, in the words that it [C] was forming
[G] And the sign said, [C] the words of the prophets are written on the subway [G] walls
And tenement halls
[Em] [G] Whispered [D] sounds [Em] of silence
Because a vision [C] softly [G] creeping, left its seeds while [C] I was [G] sleeping
And [C] the vision that is planted in my [G] brain, still remains
[Em] [G] Within [D] the [Em] sounds of silence
In restless dreams I [D] walk alone, through narrow streets of [Em] cobblestone
In the halo [C] of past [G] regrim, I turn my collar [C] to the cold [G] and damp
Where [C] my eyes are stabbed by the flash of a neon [G] light
The split of night, [Em]
[G] and touch [D] the sound [Em] of silence
And it would make it [D] loud I saw, ten thousand people [Em] made it fall
People talking [C] without [G] speaking, people hearing [C] without [G] listening
People writing [C] songs, that voices never [G] shared, no one [Em] dared
[G] Disturb [D] the sounds [Em] of silence, who said I am ill [D] I know
Silence like a [Em] cancer grows, hear my words that I [C] might teach [G] you
Take my heart and I [C] might reach [G] you, but [C] my words like silent raindrops [G] fell
And
[Em] [G] decored [D] in a well [Em] for silence
And the people bowed [D] in faith, to the neon god [Em] they faith
And the sign flashed out [C] its [G] warning, in the words that it [C] was forming
