Hello darkness my [C#] old friend
[A]
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly [D] [A] creeping
Left its seeds while I [D] was [A] sleeping
[D] And the vision that was planted in my [F#m] brain
Still [E] remains [F#m]
[E] within the sound [F#m] of silence
[C#m] [F#m] In restless dreams I [E] walked alone
[A]
[E] Narrow streets of [F#m] cobblestone
[B] [F#m] Need [B] the halo [A]
[D] of a [A] street lamp
I turned my collar [D] to the cold [A] and damp
When [D] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [A] light
That [F#m] split the [G#m] [A] night
And [E] touched the sound [A] of [E] silence
[F#m] [C#m] [F#m] And in the naked [E] light I saw
[F#] Ten [E] thousand people [G#] maybe [F#m]
more
People talking [D]
without speaking
[A] [B] [A] People hearing [D] without [A] listening
People [D] writing songs never to [A] share
[F#m] And no one [A] [E] there
To steal the sound [F#m] of silence [C#m] [D] Of silence
[Bm]
[G] Fulfill I you do [A] not know
Silence [F#] like a [Bm] cancer grows
[E] [D] Hear my words that I [G] might be due
[Bm]
[G] [D]
[G] But my words of [Gm] ranger I [Bm]
still
[D] [Bm] And [D] echoed in the [A] world [Bm] of
[F#m] [Bm] silence
In the people [A] mounting feet of neon [Bm] gods
In the signs of [G] studies
In the words that you would [D] read
In the [G] signs and the words of prophets
And [Bm] in tenement halls
[D] And whispered in the
[A] sound of [Bm]
silence
[G]
[A]
[D] [Bm] Go grab those!
At [F#] ptxofficial.com [D] Yes!
We live!
And don't forget, [A] bye!
[Bm] Of silence
[B]
